Description
“New Classics” is an inspirational combination of melodies for ballet class. This is the third in a series of albums by David Plumpton and it is a straightforward recording with a very clear sound. It does not contain repeated tracks or multiple tracks for one exercise. A big selection of melodies from Bizet to Copland combined with a few original compositions create this very enjoyable collection of music.
This album is perfect for a class of younger dancers where the teacher needs to spend little time fooling with the music. Each selection is perfect for the exercise and every track is in the proper order for a complete ballet class.
