Vladimir Ponomarev (Don Quixote), Anton Lukovkin (Sancho Panza), Igor Petropv (Lorenzo), Olesya Novikova (Kitri), Leonid Sarafanov (Basilio), Vladimir Lepeyev (Gamash) & Andrei Merkuriev (Espada) Corps of the Mariinsky Ballet & Orchestra of the Mariinsky Theatre, Pavel Bubelnikov Choreography: Marius Petipa TV Director: Brian Large Decca’s association with arguably the world’s greatest ballet company continues with their colourful production of the Petipa classic. A breath-taking ensemble performance of Petipa’s popular Don Quichotte, loosely based on Cervantes famous novel, from the world-renowned Mariinsky Ballet. The Mariinsky’s top principal male, Leonid Sarafanov (the Prince in Decca’s Mariinsky Nutcracker, released in 2007) gives another virtuosic yet elegant performance as Basilio in this lively and colourful production. Filmed in High-Definition widescreen, this film was recorded during the company’s successful visit to Vienna in 2006 and is part of Decca’s continuing association with this awesome ballet company, joining Swan Lake and the Nutcracker which were released in 2007. Menus: English. Booklet Notes: English, French, and German “In Mariinsky's revived 1900 production several Golovin backdrops charm, but Minkus's plain score and the unCervantean narrative drag until the final Pas de deux by Novikova and Sarafanov.” BBC Music Magazine, January 2010 *** | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |
