The ballet score contains much well-known music, but this selection is less familiar than much of the score. The story of Spartacus, the slave who attempted the overthrow of Rome and nearly succeeded, is an extraordinary one. Khatchaturian's music is as highly coloured as ever, creating a wave of excitement that builds up in the same manner as Ravel's Bolero.
