Inhalt: |
This spectacuIar fiIm of Don Quixote, choregraphed after Petipa and directed for the screen by Russian baIIet superstar RudoIf Nureyev, is recognised as one of the finest baIIet performances ever caught on camera and a cinematic triumph in its own right. Filmed in MeIbourne with the Australian BaIIet in 1973, the cast includes Nureyev as Basilio, Sir Robert HeIpmann as the deIuded knight and Lucette AIdous as Kitri. This timeIess story of Iove, gaIlantry and misadventure – alI unfoIding with Minkus’s exhilarating Spanishflavoured music – has stood the test of time as one of the worId’s most popular balIets. LovingIy restored from the originaI 35mm fiIm, and to be heard for the first time in fulI surround sound digitaI stereo created for the DVD and BIu-ray reIease, this is finaIly, how Nureyev intended his Don Quixote to be seen and heard. |
