1995 release. Leo Delibes (1836-1891) Sylvia Complete Ballet plus Camille Saint-Saens (1835-1921) Henry VIII: Fete populaire (Ballet-Divertissement from Act II of the Opera). Viktor Simcisko, violin & Razumovsky Sinfonie with British conductor Andrew Mogrelia. Recorded at the Concert Hall of the Slovak radio at Bratislava March 27 to April 4, 1995. "This ballet-divertissement, described as a 'fÃªte populaire', comes in Act II of the opera, and in the outer movements Saint-SaÃ«ns wittily introduces first a Scottish reel then an Irish jig with Gallic insouciance. But all six numbers, which are enjoyably tuneful, unashamedly incorporate a great many airs from both countries, and Mogrelia presents them affectionately and vividly. With excellent recording, this is a genuine bonus to a pleasing account of Delibes's Sylvia".-Penguin Guide.
