The 'Four Seasons' is featured in Act I. In the Ashton staging of the ballet, it consists of solos for 4 ballerinas (Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter) and features some of the most beautiful music in Prokofiev's score. What else would you like to know?
Music from Cinderella...

In the Ashton production, which is the only one I've seen, the dances are all variations.
There are numerous recordings of 'Cinderella' available. The entire score is gorgeous, so I urge you to buy the complete version. The recording by Andre Previn conducting the London Symphony Orchestra is very beautiful and it's the one I own. Here's the link for the CD set on the Tower Records website. Enjoy :-).

Is it just me? I have always thought that Prokofiev must have been in a very gloomy mood when he composed the score for Cinderella - I find it almost sinister, and quite unsuitable
for a sugar-spun fairy story like Cinderella.
But there you go - it's all down to personal taste again.

ok, most of the scenario involves child abuse and loneliness! It is a dark story until the end.
I LOVE the strike of midnight music. It sends chills up my spine.
