Return to Covent Garden
: :Return to Covent Garden is another great collaboration the incomparable working duo of David Howard and Steven Mitchell. After the great success of A Covent Garden Class, they modeled the class structure of this new recording after it. You will hear music from classical ballet, opera melodies, theater favorites and original melodies. Captured on this recording are classics of Romeo and Juliet 'Montegues and Capulets' and the ever-necessary Coda from Swan Lake. Advanced dancers will love this music.

from: EMI Classics
: essential recording:These classic performances belong in the collection of anyone who cares about Debussy's piano music. Walter Gieseking's career was a troubled one--his pandering to the Nazi party cast a shadow over his last years, but the greatest irony of all was that this German nationalist turned out to be the greatest exponent of French music of his era. His Debussy playing marries an effortlessly subtle control of the keyboard to a real sense of fantasy. The music truly ...
