“Giselle” was shown on the Bolshoi Theatre stage in 1843 after it had charmed the Parisian audience surviving the triumphant birth at the Grand Opera and gaining popularity among Saint Petersburg residents. The ballet was to the taste of Russian music lovers, and since then it has never left the main Moscow stage. The music of the ballet presented on the disks corresponds to Grigorovich production that was performed in cooperation with the conductor Alexander Kopylov. The fragments that had not been issued by Adolphe Adam’s pen were still preserved and within the 19th century they were considered an inseparable part of the music of the ballet. The name of a little known composer Adolphe Adam (1803-1856) became famous due to “Giselle” that won the international recognition. The idea seemed so intriguing to him that he managed to compose music to the ballet within a week. Adolphe Adam (1803-1856) “GISELLE” (“Wilis”), Ballet in Two Acts.
