4.0 out of 5 stars Fine CD version of this ever-popular ballet, March 8, 2004
Overall a fine CD version of this beloved ballet (created in Paris in 1841) by the Orchestra of the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden under Richard Bonynge. Other conductors may have offered more characterised or atmospheric performances (Fistoulari, Karajan, Tilson-Thomas), yet this well-recorded double CD set from Decca gives us the complete score, including many repeats usually omitted in the current ballet performances.

5.0 out of 5 stars great original score, August 28, 2005
This is an awesome CD with music added from the original score that has been missing for decades. It is different from other recordings that we are used to hearing, but it is unique and interesting with a great sound. Very expressive!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great performance of a great ballet, May 11, 2005
By D. R. Schryer (Poquoson, VA United States) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
Giselle was the first great Romantic ballet and it has deservedly remained in the mainstream ballet repertoire since its premier both because most great ballerinas love to dance the title role and also because of the extraordinary beauty of its music. There have been several fine recordings of Giselle but many are abbreviated, whereas this recording is complete. Furthermore, I have never heard Giselle conducted as beautifully as Richard Bonyge conducts it on this recording. If you love great ballet music, or simply great music from the Romantic era, I beg you to acquire this version of Giselle while it is still available.
