PERFECT ACCOMPANIMENT TO VIDEO5
Having seen the video of this compact disc previously, I jumped at the chance to purchase it at 75% off at at a Chapters Boxing Day sale. I had previously viewed it on Bravo and CBC and PBS and it is great now to have the SM 5000 CBC Records version on compact disc.

The CD also has Overture a 5 in G minor, Four Dances for Abdelazar, and Chacony a 4 in G minor.

The sound in wonderful and how can one go wrong at this price of about $5C for this superb production?

I can hardly wait to get the video or DVD of this production to complement the CD.

All in all, a superb Canadian production by Rhombus Media and CBC of an intuitive and highly artistic production by American Mark Morris (who plays Dido exceptionally in the ballet on video) that deserves many accolades.
