Thank you very much for sharing this. The current Bayadere should need definitely a proper conclusion!

Hi,

russianballetvideo advised me to ask you for what I'm searching. I'm looking for the video recording of Hungarian Fantasie for piano and orchestra written by Liszt with high quality.

Thanks.

Is so wonderfool to see this kinds of ballet video, congratulatión for your love, risk and patience to recorder, now I can see then Makarova's and Lanchbery´s work was so good with out underestimate this version.

Adam,

1.) Did Petipa change his own choreography? Is the 1900 revival different from the 1877 performace?

I ask because I was surprised by some of the differences in the choreography between between this version you posted and other Kirov versions of this ballet.

2.) I agree with your comment about the criminal nature of withholding Petipa's original works from the public.

3.) Are you planning on posting the last act?

I believe any changes you see in the other Kirov productions were done post this production by Vakhtang Chabukiani and Sergeyev etc-- While I'm sure Petipa made some changes from his original production, this has been the basis for the Kirov/Soviet editions (they even used the same sets which didn'thave to be rebuilt for this reconstruction except the last act). Interestingly the Bolshoi's production by Grigorovich used scenery baed on the 1877 ORIGINAL designs

Thank you very much for this, especially the highly informative notes. Altynai was seen weeping? This drives ones curiosity to feverish levels. Was she overcome by the beauty of the performance, or was her disappointment so great?
