Thank you for this time machine. Mr.B said, “Classicism is enduring because it’s impersonal.” Jacques proves it here. He disappeared into the dance, becoming no one and anyone - mythical. I love how this art plays on their bodies and in OUR minds. Enduring for sure. Thank you!

Whoa! This a miracle - early version, perfect quality, of a dance that never stopped changing. Bless whoever saved this. ❤❤❤❤❤❤💪💪🤠🤠

The jazz age made this ballet possible. The freedom of movement allowed to the women. I like the references to popular dance.

It's difficult to praise such brilliance. The standout for me is La NEARY. She lived this performance to the bone marrow. She looked like she was born dancing it. LOVE THIS POST!!! Thank you, JOHN

My favorits: Neary and von Aroldingen!

When I think of La Aroldingen I think of her SIREN in Prodigal Son. I loved her in her repertoire. Her commanding stage presence is devastating. I never fell under the Farrell spell like I did with ALLEGRA KENT. But her beauty is evident. D'Amboise is surprisingly distant here like he's in a Tudor Ballet with sloppy feet. @susannevollmer2347

@@MrQbenDanny Yes, her siren was great. I named her for my favorit muses, but can totally agree with loving Allegra Kent in every ballet she danced and I could see a video. Never was in NY.

A beautiful contemporary ballet by the three female dancers; and the charismatic, brilliant 'Jacques d'amboise! Thank you for sharing.

Every time this music begins, I tear up. Good to see the beginning (of this beginning...)

Thank you very much for posting this. It's lovely to watch these dancers. I must say that I agree with Balanchine's later decision to cut the "birth" scene at the beginning of the ballet.

@@susannevollmer2347 Well, we just have different opinions on this. If I remember correctly, I read somewhere that Balanchine cut the "birth scene" from the ballet because he thought it was "boring" and contained no dancing. I saw the "birth scene" version when Suzanne Farrell had her "pickup company" dance it at the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC. I found it jarring and over explicit. I can see why Balanchine later decided to delete it. And on a different note, bless the Kennedy Center for allowing Suzanne Farrell do her series of Balanchine ballets that were rarely performed. It gave people a chance to see Balanchine works that they wouldn't see elsewhere. It was a great pity that the Kennedy Center stopped supporting Farrell in this endeavor.

@@user-tt9kb1oz6l Yes , I agree in this point. There is another birth variation in yt - longer and a bit strange and boring. This one is shorter and I like von Aroldingen performing birth and the beginning Apollons education - is importend. I love this performance!

@user-tt9kb1oz6l 5 ай бұрын

@@susannevollmer2347 Yes, I enjoy this performance too. And Balanchine seemed to love to continuously tinker with at least some of his ballets. I guess he was too creative to just leave his works alone!. Although he went through periods where he didn't create many ballets, he was very prolific overall. The United States was so lucky to have had him!

So beautiful! To me a sensation again and again! This version and cast is so different from the later ones?! A nice Easter present, thank you John!

Wow. What a great cast. Very nicely shot too. I wonder where it was filmed? Please, keep these coming. Now- if you can get a hold of the silent 1945 film of a dress rehearsal of 4 Temperaments, I'll forever be grateful. (My mother is in it) I think it can only be viewed at the Library at Lincoln Center.

Gosh, how wonderful seeing Neary and Govrin here. Neary is *brilliant* in the Polyhymnia variation and Govrin brings things to Calliope I never knew were there.
