5.0 out of 5 stars Darkness prevails, May 8, 2007

By 

To Dance (new jersey) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Prokofiev - The Stone Flower (Ekaterina Maximova, Vladimir Vasiliev, Bolshoi Ballet) (DVD)

The only saving grace of this latest release of The Stone Flower is the superb performance of the incomparable husband/wife team of Maximova and Vasiliev.Unfortunately, darkness prevails throughout the entire video,obscuring many fine dances by the the Corps as well as the principals.That is a shame, as this is a fine ballet,what was the lighting director thinking? Stage and set design were dark and gloomy as well. The Mistress of the Copper Mountain, danced by Svetlana Adirkhaeva,was artistically sound, but technically weak. Her jetes,lifts and control, were tentative,but then maybe she couldn't see all that well in the darkness.In general,if you want to see Katia and Volodya at their usual best,this performance is a must for those who remember them in their glory as I do.I give this production Five++++ stars for their performance alone.
