I know a lot of people wanted to know why I chose L'apres Midi d'un Faune instead of Printemps on the first poll. Honestly I'd want to see both, but it was the Rudolf Nureyev's Faune tween me fell in love with when it was newly filmed. Rite of Spring didn't speak to me until I was a little older. It was arbitrary, and Printemps was always going to end up on a later poll. The enthusiasm for it was heart warming.

** London After Midnight is particularly lamented lost media so it gets it's own slot.

*** These are: Mily Balakirev, César Cui, Modest Mussorgsky, Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov and Alexander Borodin. They did not fit in the slot.

This is the most beautiful ballet promo I have ever seen! I cannot help but notice the classic silhouettes and extreme close-ups from 1960’s Soviet ballet films. A lot of the comments cite the recently restored “The Color of Pomogranates” as inspiration — a film by a Soviet Armenian filmmaker, Panajarov. Why, yes! That, too!

I have never been so excited to see the Firebird - wish I lived close to NYC!

It's a great pleasure to share the delightful performance by Le Off (musiciens de l'Orchestre de Paris) of Stravinsky's Pastorale, a composition so different from his ballet and orchestral works.

Just listened to Stravinsky’s Firebird for the first time in a while and it’s so so beautiful. Every time that quiet French horn comes in for the finale I tear up. The resolution to the final note gives me chills. Please please please go listen to it whether you’ve heard it before or not. It’s a masterpiece.
