Dear Odette, I don´t know wether you contacted me on my e-mail address. Because 3 member have. I can sent you a copy of the Balanchine Program. paul

This is one of my favorite ballets. Saw it again last month at Covent Garden, There is no comercial video available. But if you sent me your address I will sent you a copy as it was shown here in London on TV with the Royal Ballet and the NYCB. basler_andreas_paul@hotmail.com

Serenade was on German/French TV 2 weeks ago. A friend of mine taped it and will sent it to London for me. It must be the 60s recording wich I have already. But not a very good copy. And I do have a copy from last years with the NYCB. If interested please contact basler_andreas_paul@hotmail.com (but I can make European Video System Copys only)

Hi, I do have the "Theme and Variation" with Kirkland and Barysnikov on video. My e-mail ist basler_andreas_paul@hotmail.com. Please contact me if still interested. Greetings Paul

The Royal Ballet Version is the Best. But with lots of reservations I liked Alisa Alonsons Version for the Cuban Ballet very much as well.Some magnificent danncing. paul

Can someone help me please? I would like to know what ballets the BBC accutally showed on TV during the 50s 60s and early 70s. Lots of what they showed the apparently erased. But a number of ballets they must have still in their archive.

I got the video tape and I admired Gracheva in La Bayadere. But not as much as I loved her in other parts. My favorite is her "Pharaos daughter" and her Corsaire pas deu deux has such charm and grace I started to wonder "where could she possible get this from". I find her not "sloppy" at all.

Some members tried to e-mail me. I am sorry.My computer has completely given up on me. I can access thereforeonly my hotmail only via an internet-shop. paul

my e-mail address is: basler_andreas_paul@hotmail.com paul

Yes, I am sorry.It must have been the NYCB. Paul

Some 10 years ago I saw in London a french company performing "La fille malGardee".It was apparently the original Daubervall version of the ballet.And I was charmed by it. The whole ballet was a relevation for me. Does anyone know anything about it?Does a video of it exist?

I do have 2 "Serenades" on Video. The last I got only recently. It is with the ABT filmed during their tour in Russia. If interested please reply. Paul

I know the La Bayadere Reconstruction from a video tape only. (Will see a live performance in London on August 2nd). The main difference is surely the 4th act. The whole grandeur and drama of Petipas Coreography - so long buried - took me completely by surprise. I love this 4th act so much I watch it at least once a week.

I have got a video called "Evening at the Maly".Shown are 3 one act Petipa Ballet. Paquita, Harlequinade and the 3rd one I neither know how to pronounce nor to write. It is the ballet Petipa did for his daughter who was a character dancer. A friend in Russia sent me another Ballet, officially by Petipa "The Humback Horse, or something like it" There are inded traces of Petipa there but alas only traces.

I do have the NYCB, Royal Ballet, the Mariinsky and the Bolshoi "Symphoni in C", which is one of my favorite ballets. I would like to exchange with a copy of Concerto Barocco, again one of my favorite ballet but quite unoptainable it seems.( I do have the Concerto Barroco filmed in Germany, which Balanchine apparently greatly disliked and which is almost unwatchable.)
