canbelto Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 VAI is set to release something called "The Art of the Pas de Deux, Vol. 2." Does anyone know the program on this release? Link to comment
rg Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 as you likely noted the cover photo shows platel and leriche in 'sleeping beauty'? pas de deux from act 3? i don't see any particulars given on the web. dale's been close to much VAI release news, perhaps she can say more. i don't personally know anything further.

canbelto Posted August 15, 2006 Author Share Posted August 15, 2006 So this is just a mix and match compilation. Thanks for the info. Link to comment
Dale Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 Yeah, no extras, it seems - unlike Part 1. Link to comment
socalgal Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 Sonja and Erik? Wow~ I will want to get a copy of this for sure. All of the PDD's sound wonderful. Link to comment
richard53dog Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 Sonja and Erik? Wow~ I will want to get a copy of this for sure. All of the PDD's sound wonderful. Yeah but all but one of them have been previously released on other discs. Dale, I know you commented when I complained about this a few weeks ago that you took the position that at least VAI was releasing the stuff, and that's true. But it irritates me that they are marketing their discs in this way. Eight already released pieces and and ONE new one? That's robbery . Three old pieces and five new ones, ok I can like with something like that. :blush: Richard Link to comment
Dale Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 But they're also releasing completely new pieces such as the D'Amboise and Gaite Parisienne, too. I think VAI is marketing these "greatest hits" type discs for people who just want the highlights and the others for people who want all of the items. If you have the full releases on these, then don't bother, just get the new discs. Link to comment

I was wound up because I thought there was just one item on the disc that was only available here. That's the type of thing that gets to me . But I was wrong, the item I thought was unique here, the Still Point is on (I believe) the D'Amboise disc, which has a lot of other new stuff (as you pointed out) . So I take back my complaint about this issue, I'll pass on this disc but I'll get the other two. Richard Link to comment
