### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Notable for early Giselle pairing of Fonteyn & Nureyev
  

*by J***L on Reviewed in the United States on April 13, 2013*

Though this DVD mainly features ballerina Nadia Nerina in two Sadlers Wells/Royal Ballet 1950s productions, its highlight is the rare 1962 footage of Margot Fonteyn and her recently defected, new (and historic) partner the young Rudolf Nureyev, in Act II from Giselle.  This June 1962 Giselle was filmed only four months after their 2/62 debut Giselle performance, which stirred the world's passions for this remarkable pair.  Though a brief clip from Act II, it is beautifully danced, Fonteyn with her usual sure-footed, elegant grace partnered by an agile, coltish young Nureyev, whose pure talent is very evident in his leaping solo variations filled with perfect entrechats, rond de jambes, backward arches, spins and fabulous quick footwork.  Fonteyn keeps time with him admirably, and at the very end we get closeups of her expressive face acting as the ultimate broken-hearted Giselle, blessing her love Albrecht back to life before lamentably leaving for the spirit world.  The Nadia Nerina performances are also quite good, she a petite dancer with strong technique and sunny personality as the adorable, playful Coppelia in another great example of dance-acting.  Les Sylphides is also good but as already pointed out, the foliage framing the shots, plus early ghostly apparitions are a bit distracting.  All these BBC archive ballet sequences are in black & white but are relatively clear-focused despite their age.

    Please remaster these classics!

Beautiful vintage ballet. Well worth the cost just for the Giselle.  A young Nureyev at his dramatic best. A bit grainy, but so glad these were released in DVD form. So many were not and are at risk of being lost. A must for any ballet fan.
