Title: A comprehensive journey through the evolution of classical b
Product review: This compilation of the Australian Ballet favourites, is organised chronologically, allowing the viewer to see the evolution of classical ballet from romanticism, through to more modern and contemporary works. It covers Giselle, Coppelia, Swan Lake, The Sleeping Beauty, Spartacus and finally, Songs of a Wayfarer. Both the performances and the recording are of a beautiful standard, displaying the dramatic action, the costumes,and the sets admirably. It is also notable for the dancers - who have a very unique, athletic and "real" quality. Filmed at varying intervals between 1984 and 1990, the video gives a chance to see some of the better known of the Austalian Ballet's stars. Notable is the stary partnership (and amazing virtuosity) of Lisa Pavane and Greg Horsman in Coppelia, the lyricism of Miranda Coney in Swan Lake, and the very masculine Steven Heatcote in Spartacus. A great video for anyone who wishes to sample little of everything.
