volcanohunter Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 Has anyone heard anything about a forthcoming release of Roland Petit's "Le Jeune homme et la mort" and "Carmen"? I stumbled across this listing on Amazon, and a release date of 21 November 2006 is given, but apart from that the details are very sketchy. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000IY06A2 Link to comment
rg Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 this is evidently a recent filming. perhaps paris-based ballettalkers recall when these ballets were filmed with leriche etc. likely a petit-homage program? i don't have any advance word about this release. the amazon copy notes very clearly NTSC. i wonder if any european videophiles have noted this out already on PAL, etc. these would be at least the second such release of JEUNE HOMME (the one w/ nureyev and jeanmaire), tho' admittedly this filming was especially arranged for the camera by petit and not a 'complete,' and the third? of CARMEN (jeanmaire w/ either petit or baryshnikov).

volcanohunter Posted October 22, 2006 Author Share Posted October 22, 2006 At the risk of appearing as though I posted this topic simply so I could answer my own question, here is a link to the DVD on the TDK web site: www.tdk-music.com Who ever said that Manuel Legris was the POB's most filmed danseur? It seems that Nicolas Le Riche is racing to the lead: Le Train Bleu, Notre Dame de Paris, Ivan the Terrible, Sylvia, Clavigo, Appartement and now Jeune Homme and Carmen. And he's still only 34 years old. Mind you, Marie-Agnès Gillot isn't doing too badly in that department either. Link to comment

Le Riche is also in the Nina Ananiashvili and her International All Stars DVDs. -goro- Link to comment
chrisk217 Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 This has been recently broadcasted on a sat channel. I have not yet watched all of it but my first impression is that although the dancers are very good (Osta slightly miscast, maybe) the film is rather choppily directed - it's not trully bad but the director never let's you forget s/he's there. I'll post more when I've watched all of it. Link to comment
volcanohunter Posted October 24, 2006 Author Share Posted October 24, 2006 And don't forget Marguerite et Armand w/Sylvie Guillem. Thank you for reminding me about that. As far as I know, that recording is not available in North America, so I'm sorry to say I've never seen it. You'd be hard pressed to find anything with Sylvie Guillem. Link to comment
volcanohunter Posted November 25, 2006 Author Share Posted November 25, 2006 Does anyone know why L'Arlésienne was not included on the DVD? It seems odd to include an interview in which Brigitte Lefèvre spends so much time talking about what a wonderful thing it was for the POB to stage a Petit triple bill and then show only two of the ballets performed.
