This review is from: Ballet Favorites (Audio CD)

A few of the tracks I was familar with, and yes maybe I have a more lively / better version... but I was very pleased with the performances and sonics of the tracks. Anytime I go back and listen to a CD more than once (actually several times) I consider it a worthwhile purchase. I even recommended it to my son to check out. Guess that makes this a winner.
