1.0 out of 5 stars Unmusical, pedestrian, dreadful, October 27, 1999

Ikon "Ikon" (Atlanta, GA - USA) - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Stravinsky - The Firebird / Royal Danish Ballet (Glen Tetley) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

It is astonishing that so fanciful and delightful a ballet could be reduced to such a pedestrian spectacle. Not even the music survives intact. Poor placement of the microphones destroyed the continuity of the sound. The choreography owes more to Cirque du Soleil than to Fokine. The principals are certainly flexible; it would have been interesting to see if they could dance. This tape went straight from the VCR to the trash-can. Only a devout masochist would watch it twice.

1.0 out of 5 stars not the firebird story, June 10, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Stravinsky - The Firebird / Royal Danish Ballet (Glen Tetley) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Not only was the quality of the musical reproduction very poor, but this was not the story that was used by Stravinsky in the writing of the music commissioned by Ballanchine. What a disappointment!

3.0 out of 5 stars Firebird, January 17, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Stravinsky - The Firebird / Royal Danish Ballet (Glen Tetley) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I also had problems with the sound on the Firebird video. I thought it was just my copy but after reading the review prior to mine I realize that it was just poor sound quality.
