This review is from: Minkus - Don Quixote / Terekhova, Ruzimatov, Ponomaryov, Kirov Ballet (DVD)

This is not a very recent performance, but it is certainly one of the finest done in the modern style(no "chubby" dancing!). The video quality is not perfect, showing a little age. The colors are slightly faded, but the picture is definitely acceptable. This might qualify as a collector's dvd. If you want something new and flashy you might want the Paris Opera Ballet version(also first class). I really enjoyed the dancing in this Kirov performance. The character dancing is also noteworthy.

Not to mention Telekhova (my favorite) and Ruzimatov, other soloists are wonderful, too. Once can detect that these dancers have a common style and technical achievement that must be the product of Kirov training. I hope that the legacy has continued after the end of Soviet.

This review is from: Minkus - Don Quixote / Terekhova, Ruzimatov, Ponomaryov, Kirov Ballet (DVD)

This dvd has some spectacular dancing in it, though I found Ruzimatov lacking the kind of sizzle I had expected based on his dvd of Scheherazade. Terekhova is a wonderful dancer and it shows in everything she does here. This is a big corps ballet and they aree every bit as wonderful as you would expect the Kirov to be. If you are unfamiliar with the score be ready for the lightest of saccharine fluff. It is so lightweight that I find it hard to believe anyone could get an orchestra to take it seriously enough to rehearse.
