The Best of the Bolshoi Ballet

SKU: 12821

Price:
AU $30.57

Label: Deutsche Grammophon Cat. No.: 073 4425 Medium: DVD No. Discs: 1

Format: NTSC 4:3 Stereo PCM / Surround DTS 5.1.

Paul Czinner's acclaimed 1956 filming at the Royal Opera House, Convent Garden of the Bolshoi Ballet's first-ever tour of Great Britain, which preserves two complete programs: a Bolshoi Highlights Program featuring Raissa Struchkova in the Walpurgisnacht from Gounod's Faust, and Galina Ulanova in The Dying Swan and a thrilling performance of Giselle with Ulanova and Nikolai Fadeyechev.

Also included in the Highlights Program is the celebrated Spring Water ballet, set to music by Rachmaninov and danced with dazzling virtuosity by the outstanding members of the Bolshoi troupe.

The Orchestra of the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, and the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra are under the direction of Gennadi Rozhdestvensky and Yuri Faier.

In Dance Magazine, critic Clive Barnes eulogized the artistry documented here: 'Everything the Russian critics have written about her is true. The impeccable technique, the expressive body, the intellect, the informed face; yet Ulanova has something criticism could never define, something you might look for in Shakespeare's sonnets.'

'The greatest performance by an interpretive artist within my experience' Clive Barnes, Dance Magazine (1998) [on Ulanova's Giselle as seen documented here]
