3.0 out of 5 stars disappointing, March 18, 2000

This review is from: Chaconne / Prodigal Son [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Without a doubt "Prodigal Son" is an amazing piece of choreography. Unfortunately, it's not captured here.Karin Von Arnoldingen seems unsure of herself and wobbles frequently. Still, some of it's brilliance peeps through and one can get an IDEA of how great this ballet must have been when performed by Edward Villella and Diane Adams. Since there is no video of that- I'll take it! Even not too good is better than not at all.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful! From a Farrell fan, July 13, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Chaconne / Prodigal Son [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Suzanne Farrell and Peter Martins work magic onstage in Chaconne, based on the classic story of Orpheus and his beloved Euridice! Farrell's flawless and fluid technique is perfectly complemented by Martin's strength and control. Their dancing has entranced and enchanted me every time I've watched it, as it will surely do for you. I am one of the biggest Suzanne Farrell fans alive and I got this video mainly because she danced in it, but I found the Prodigal Son to be spectacular as well. Baryshnikov's incredible strength and expression are evident in this moving performance. This video is a definite must for NYC Ballet fans!

I was very impressed with this video. Suzanne Farrell in Chaconne took my breath away. Prodigal Son was amazing! One of the best ballet movies I have ever seen!
