4.0 out of 5 stars Unsurpassed Nureyev, 15 Nov 2005
By A Customer
This review is from: Romeo and Juliet [DVD] [1966] [US Import] (DVD)
Ballet(and Opera)lovers of younger generations who watch glorious dancers on film or listen to great opera singers on CD from previous generations, should bear in mind that recorded performances are only a reflection of the real truth, for the simple reason that dancers like Nureyev or singers like Callas had certain phenomenal and unique qualities that machines, as perfect as they have become, will never ever be able to convey. For those of us old enough to have seen in the 60's Nureyev's (and Callas') unsurpassed performances, these recordings help us to revive such memorable evenings, and for those of younger generations not to have been so privileged it allows them to have a glimpse of their greatness. This said I agree in that it is deplorable the image and sound of the master tape were not cleaned before transferring Romeo & Juliet into CD as,luckily, his Quixote and Swan Lake have. In spite of it this glorious Romeo & Juliet is a MUST for every ballet lover.

2.0 out of 5 stars It's an old video, 15 Feb 2006
By A Customer
This review is from: Romeo and Juliet [DVD] [1966] [US Import] (DVD)
This is a reference performance by two great stars. Many fans are waiting for it to be digitized, but at present it only exists in video format and the quality is very disappointing.

5.0 out of 5 stars (video review), 28 Dec 2007
By Roman Clodia (London) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Romeo and Juliet [DVD] [1966] [US Import] (DVD)
Yes, I agree the quality of the recording isn't brilliant (I haven't seen the DVD but imagine it might be worse than the video becuase of being transferred) but despite that, this is a towering, masterpiece of a performance. After so many Romeos (not least Carlos Acosta's marvellous recent performence (Dec 2007) at Covent Garden, Nureyev still stuns, shocks and amazes not just with his technical virtuosity but his sheer animal magnetism and incredible charisma. I have watched this video over and over again, and can't ever tire of this wonderful retelling of such a classic story/ballet. Whatever the technical drawbacks (and I'm too young ever to have seen Nureyev dance) this is a must-buy for any ballet fan.
