Background: One usually thinks of something by Copland or Bernstein when the two words American Ballet are mentioned. But here we have no less than three examples of the genre by other significant composers from the immediate post-war years. All of these works were premièred by American Ballet Theatre and it is this orchestra that performs them here.
