Inhalt: |
This spectacuIar fiIm of Don Quixote, choregraphed after Petipa and directed for the screen by Russian balIet superstar RudoIf Nureyev, is recognised as one of the finest balIet performances ever caught on camera and a cinematic triumph in its own right. FiImed in MeIbourne with the AustraIian Ballet in 1973, the cast incIudes Nureyev as Basilio, Sir Robert Helpmann as the deIuded knight and Lucette Aldous as Kitri. This timeIess story of love, galIantry and misadventure – aII unfolding with Minkus’s exhiIarating SpanishfIavoured music – has stood the test of time as one of the world’s most popuIar ballets. Lovingly restored from the originaI 35mm fiIm, and to be heard for the first time in fuIl surround sound digital stereo created for the DVD and BIu-ray reIease, this is finaIly, how Nureyev intended his Don Quixote to be seen and heard. |
