Renard Stravinsky burlesque Sinfonietta Part 1 of 2

( Part 2 at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iuLeyi-DAs8 ) Channel 4's Sinfonietta, and excellent programme made in the 1980's here presents a live Russian-language version of Stravinsky's Renard. With accompanying burlesque performance by dancers and acrobats, this was an astonishing production, although the overlaid video graphics effects look rather cheesy today.

Glad you like it, its survival on tape was a happy accident. I'll dig out the explanatory section at some point
