Editorial Review:
Description:
The Royal Ballet's glorious Stravinsky Double Bill unleashes the spectacular production of "The Firebird" with the stark beauty of "Les Noces," magically choreographed by the legendary Nijinska. The all-star cast includes Zenaida Yanowsky and David Pickering as the Bride and Bridegroom in "Les Noces," Leanne Benjamin as The Firebird, Jonathan Cope as Ivan Tsarevich, Genesia Rosato as The Beautiful Tsarevna and as The Immortal Kostchei, David Drew, who recalls in an absorbing interview his role in Nijinska's original production of "Les Noces." As an added bonus, this unmissable DVD also includes exclusive behind-the-scenes rehearsal footage of the two ballets.

I thought I probably already had two of the best "Firebirds" with the Royal Ballet's VHS recording of Dame Margot Fonteyn and The Kirov Celebrates Nijinsky with Diana Vishneva, but when I saw this BBC copy starring Leanne Benjamin, I think I may NOW have the best. This version is as close to Hi-Def as you can get in quality of reproduction w/o being an HD DVD. Being a Pal format, I cannot play it on my Hi-Def. player but using a Phillips player with component input and progressive scan it is very ... Read More

I want to add my bit to the reviews here. I have enjoyed every moment of these two ballets which are of totally different styles of dancing.I have seen the extended version of Firebird on the 'Firebird Returns' but for personal drama this is the better version. The Les Noces, in my opinion, is beautiful and unique in its cheography. The sound is very solid - surround sound - and the thumps give one the goosebumps. All said, one has to recall the different choreographies of the two ballets to fully ... Read More

My wife and I enjoyed this video very much. The technical quality was excellent. The performance was very good, well danced and entertaining, Why only four stars? It was somewhat less exciting than the best of the live performances we have seen. But we recommend it enthusiastically.

The five stars are for The Firebird. Excellent! I've always loved the Firebird Suite music, and finally I got to see what it's all about. Excellent dancing, staging, choreography, story, and music! The shorter Les Noces is too modern for me (even though it was choreographed a long time ago). I just don't get it (I also don't get Modern Art (unless it simply appeals to the eye by its color and shape, which this ballet does not)). I first watched the short documentary about rehearsing the first showing ... Read More

The Paris Opera Ballet laserdisc is definitive for Les Noces. The Afternoon of a Faun is also superlative at every level.
This DVD is most welcome. The dancing in both Firebird and Les Noces is aboveaverage. However, particularly in Les Noces the ensemble lacks precision, verve, and the required intensity. This is a very difficult work, of great musical inventiveness and superior and hugely difficult choreography. This is a work that should judge ballet groups...and the Royal Ballet ... Read More
