Inhalt: |
This spectacular film of Don Quixote, choregraphed after Petipa and directed for the screen by Russian baIlet superstar Rudolf Nureyev, is recognised as one of the finest ballet performances ever caught on camera and a cinematic triumph in its own right. Filmed in MeIbourne with the AustraIian BaIlet in 1973, the cast incIudes Nureyev as Basilio, Sir Robert HeIpmann as the deIuded knight and Lucette AIdous as Kitri. This timeIess story of Iove, gaIlantry and misadventure – aII unfoIding with Minkus’s exhilarating Spanishflavoured music – has stood the test of time as one of the worId’s most popular baIIets. 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 release, this is finaIIy, how Nureyev intended his Don Quixote to be seen and heard. |
