4.0 out of 5 stars
Enjoyable dancing, 16 Feb 2009
Extremely enjoyable,Martinez and Letestu seem to enjoy every step of this beautifully rechoreographed ballet,following the "esprit de l'époque",by Pierre Lacotte who pays a tribute to Petipa whose original choreography had survived only in the "Grand pas ". The music score is as light as a bird singing,so being a powerful anti-depressive musical medicine!Thanks to the devotion of this unique choreographer who revives and gives back to the stages forgotten ballets,we have Coppelia,La Fille du Pharaon - a jewel! -,La Sylphide(the Philippo Taglioni one)and Ondine(yet to be released by the Kirov,God knows when.Thank you M.Lacotte!
In order to compare Lacotte's Grand Pas with the original (Petipa) buy the Kirov Classics and watch last item - Paquita's Grand Pas,danced by Igor Zelensky,Yulia Makhalina and Larissa Lezhnina - absolutely outstanding.
