loveclassics Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Are there any recordings of this? I've seen it live of course but can't remember any live transmissions or DVDs issued. There's a good recording of ABT but I would love to see the RB version again. Any info most welcome. Thanks Linda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naomi M Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Unfortunately the DVD is not issued, but a recording starring Merle Park, Anthony Dowell and Wayne Sleep (as Puck) was recorded and broadcasted. it as also broadcasted in Japan so I have a recording.

alison Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 It was broadcast live to big screens as part of a triple bill some years ago, so presumably is knocking around the ROH somewhere, but I doubt it'd be released. The ABT, unfortunately, is the only one in existence, unless the (black and white?) recording of Kumakawa and Benjamin, I think it was, I think to a piano score, is still out there. I seem to remember it was supposedly intended for sale to teachers only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toursenlair Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Hard to complain about either Herman Cornejo as Puck or Alessandra Ferri as Titania in the ABT DVD though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aruna S Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 (edited) I saw the Dowell-Park one last month when it was broadcast on Sky Arte. Other than the ABT version, there are snippets on YouTube of Ashton rehearsing the final Oberon-Titania pdd with Dowell and Sibley which you might find interesting, loveclassics. Alessandra Ferri is awfully good, but Sibley has a quality which Ferri doesn't. Who was in the live ROH broadcast? Cojocaru? Now that she's no longer at ROH my next person on the wishlist for Titania would be Sarah Lamb. She looks the part, IMO.

Oh, I wasn't Although: Alessandra Ferri is awfully good, but Sibley has a quality which Ferri doesn't. Who was in the live ROH broadcast? Cojocaru? My guess is probably, but since, unusually on live broadcast nights, I was in the ROH at the time, it doesn't stand out as much in the memory as if I'd been watching it in Trafalgar Square.
