Listening to Les Chasseresses from the ballet Sylvia and it's really familiar. I think it was used on a television programme, probably in the 70s. Does anybody know which programme? (It might have been something to do with ships, as that's the image the music evokes in my mind.)

Hmmm, the Divertissement Pizzicato (yes, I'm listening to random exerpts) is extremely familiar too! Has this score been pillaged by everybody?  Cheesy

Who Is Sylvia?  What is she?

I have no idea who Sylvia was, though I can confidently state that she bears no resemblance to the song of the same name by the Dutch rock band Focus.

I'm not even too sure who Delibes was  Undecided
