Sergei Prokofiev - Adagio from "Cinderella" ballet
Christophor Miroshnikov, cello

In the orginal score of the ballet, Adagio - a grand solo of the orchestra cello section - is a Duet of the Prince and Cinderella, which comes at the end of the second act. It is a scene where the Prince and CInderella, alone in the royal garden, dance and express their blossoming love for each other. Prokofiev himself had arranged the Adagio for cello and piano.
