The Cellist is Cathy Marston's first ballet for the Covent Garden Main Stage and was inspired by the momentous life and career of the extraordinary cellist Jacqueline du Pr?. Lauren Cuthbertson stars as du Pr? alongside Matthew Ball as the conductor (and her lover) Daniel Barenboim, but Marcelino Samb? plays second fiddle to neither as the cello come to life.
Jerome Robbins' elegant and elegiac Dances at a Gathering is one of his masterworks. An exercise in pure dance for five couples set to music by Chopin, this recording features an outstanding cast of Royal Ballet dancers, including Marianela Nu?ez, Francesca Hayward, Fumi Kaneko, Alexander Campbell and William Bracewell. It's truly a wonder of subtlety and invention.
