The comic ballet Coppélia is based on two short stories by ETA Hoffmann and along with the ballet Sylvia and opera Lakmé, one of the most famous works by the French composer Léo Delibes. Influenced himself by Berlioz and Wagner, Delibes was greatly admired by Tchaikovsky and his music clearly inspired the ballets by the Russian master.

This recording with the L'Orchestre de la Suisse Romande, the earlier of two made by Richard Bonynge, was the top recommendation when BBC Radio 3 compared different recordings in its programme Building a Library in 2010.

It is coupled with the short ballet Le Carillon by fellow French composer Jules Massenet, whose centenary is celebrated this year.
