Various Artists - Delibes: Sylvia (DVD)

Taken from Greek mythology, it tells the story of Sylvia, loved by Aminta, abducted by Orion and eventually rescued by Eros. Ashton was inspired by the music of Leo Delibes to create such great choreographic sequences as the famous Act 3 'pas de deux' and the mischievous role of Eros, one of the delightful, darkly comic characterisations for which Ashton became known and loved.

Sylvia is a wonderful showcase for virtuosity, invention and classical beauty, the epitome of Ashton style in stage settings of great detail and painterly perfection.

Darcey is truely ethereal in this BBC production. The scenery and music are exquisite.
