tim b Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Is anyone whose indexing skill is better than mine (not that difficult) able to remind me of where there is a recording of this work which Anton Dolin ?created / revived and taught to the Kirov? I am sure I have seen one where one of the 4 ballerinas is a very young Kolpakova but I'm blowed if I can find it in the pile!! If it exists on a commercial dvd like treasures of the Kirov or whatever which I can now buy, that would be perfection. Can anyone advise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cabriole Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 There is a recording with Alicia Alonso,Melissa Hayden ,Nora Kaye and Mia Slavenska you can find it on YouTube I love this one, also Nina Aniashvili has it on one of her DVD's. Alonso Thesmar Fracci and Evdokimova on youtube .My favourite is the 1st one it has the quality and perfect style ,look out for Alonso's lightness and compare it with the later one.

Pas de Quatre Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Does it have to be the Kirov version? I have a DVD "Alicia Alonso, Prima Ballerina Assoluta" which actually has the Pas de Quatre danced by Alicia Alonso, Melissa Hayden, Nora Kaye & Mia Slavenska - it is a very good version, and I would imagine authentic. The version danced by students (was is Royal Danish Ballet School) during the jury's deliberations at the Prix de Lausanne was painfully slow and I felt was not in the real Romantic style. cabriole, your post just appeared up as I was writing this - we obviously agree.

cabriole Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 The 1960 version is the best although Eva Evdokimova is wonderful in the 1st solo .I don't like the the headdresses in the 1980 version they are too big!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
