5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Have..., January 11, 2000

This review is from: Balanchine Celebration Part One [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Balanchine Celebration I is a must have for a complete ballet library. If you are a fan of Balanchines work, it will contain along with the Celebration II most of his best choreographed ballets with such guest stars as: Darcy Bussell & Patricia Barker dancing his most profound works: AGON & APOLLO respectively. For those of you not such Balanchine disciples you may find out what this contemporary choreographer really has that makes him one of the most influencial people of our century. With out this series of Celebrations I&II your dance collection will be nill and void.

5.0 out of 5 stars a ballet lover's must have!, March 23, 2001

This review is from: Balanchine Celebration Part One [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This video, and part 2 are so great I'd rate them 10 stars! I've watched it a hundred times because it always makes me feel so good. The choreography is so perfect and musical that after you've seen the ballet, every time you hear the music you see the dance steps images in your mind again! and the dancers are amazing,pure energy.The only regret is that there's not enough Balanchine's Ballet videos available, I've already bought them all.

This review is from: Balanchine Celebration Part One [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Balanchine danced by a truly "Who's Who" of the dance world. Excerpts of his best known ballets, with the best quality of videography one might achieve. Five stars are not enough to rate these videos. Don't forget "The Balanchine Celebration II", either.
