Ellina Akimova's Music for Ballet Class CD (Volume IV)
Same wonderful music, brand new packaging and cover. The picture on the cover was taken in Paris, Salle Pleyel, "cours" Menchova, in the 1970s. This picture displays two dancers Franciska Elisabeth de Mikhnevitch and Jean-Yves Lormeau. Jean-Yves Lormeau is a former Etoile at the Opera of Paris. Elisabeth de Mikhnevitch, "sujet" at the Opera of Paris, worked with Ellina on the realisation of this CD in 2007. The few of us who lived or visited Paris in the 1970s may remember "Salle Pleyel" a very well known institution where professional and non-professional alike could take ballet classes together.

Watch Ellina Akimova perform one of the center exercise: Grande variation on pointes, Da dolce ad animato Catherine Tully's Review: "I have listened to this CD now over 30 times and am currently using it for my adult ballet class. I have found it to be very refreshing–the compositions are original and extremely well-played by Ms. Ellina Akimova. There is music here for an entire ballet class, and the barre tracks are all repeated for the convenience of the instructor." Read more
