Save your money!Sep 06, 2008
By J. W. Ramsey This DVD is of exceedingly poor quality, both visual and sound. The selections, while of note and fame, are unevenly danced and poorly photographed. It is hard to imagine a Nureyev performance being less than wonderful......but.....these are. All in all, i'd have been happier buying a latte and re-watching another DVD.
Amazing historical recordApr 09, 2012
By Lisa Alapick I have dozens of ballet DVDs, and this one stands out as unique. Sure, the video isn't the best since it's from the early 60s, and I don't think that preservation was important then. It's black and white and looks like it's 50 years old, which it is. Unlike the other reviewer, though, I thought the dancing was amazing. There are dances choreographed just for Firestone that have never been seen anywhere else. The Danish Ballet dancers were simply fearless, and Nureyev looks like a panther. Maria Tallchief is at her finest in a Degas ballet produced just for Firestone. This DVD is a keeper for me and an invaluable part of my collection.
