 Should not be offered to the publicFeb 18, 2010
The creator of this dvd should improve the quality of the video before it is offered for sale. This is a definite rip off. No matter how good the dancers, if the quality of the video is this bad, then too the dancers look so bad. It is a waste of our hard earned money.
 Par excellence Feb 10, 2009
A must have for the ballet purist! Especially for those who remember Nureyev and Fonteyn's reign supreme!!

Very Good performanceJul 14, 2005
Margot is certainly a wonderful dancer and so is Nureyev. Les Sylphides is beautiful with the tutu's and choreography. I did not like La Valse really though. The Sleeping Beauty was lovely. Margot and David Blaire were excellent and I loved the Bluebird pas de deux. On the whole I really enjoyed it but I also recommend Essential Ballet for people wanting a beautiful dvd of excerpts. It is with the Kirov Ballet and has bits from The Nutcracker, Swan Lake, The Sleeping Beauty, The Firebird, Giselle, Don Quixote, Paquita, and quite a few more.

Enjoy!May 21, 2005
I have a 6 years old daughter and we missed our bed time because we just could not stop watching the performance. It's truly amazing, ballet at it's best.
