[syrose]

Please does anybody know if there exists a Video DVD of the 'Daphnis and Chloe' Ballet?

If yes where can it be obtained?

Sincerely,

Sally

UK ballettalk members will be able to note the dates, etc. but the BBC telecast ashton's DAPHINS & C. (w/ Cojocaru and Bonelli) in it's program honoring his centenary. so far as i can tell, however, there are no announced plans for releasing the telecast as a commercial video.

My hope is that some very nice fan will capture portions of it for viewing on (dare I say it) on Youtube. It's quite a treasure trove of foreign television captures. There's a very nice person, for example, who very helpfully put up a complete, recent recording of Symphonic Variations.

A reminder to very nice people.

There's still a lawsuit pending against YouTube from VAI and others about copyright violations of protected materials. The suit has not attracted the number of co-plaintiffs that the originator had hoped, but the list of co-defendants could very likely increase exponentially.

This is my first post on this site, and my ballet knowledge is that of a complete novice/tyro, so be gentle with me!

 

Some years ago (probably 1984-86) I turned on my TV set one afternoon to watch a programme which I found had been cancelled, and in its place found a ballet performance of Ravel's Daphnis and Chloe. I cannot be certain after thirty years, but I think it was in black and white. What I can remember is that the bachannale was quite explicitly erotic, and to a non-balletomane the performance and choreography was spectacular. Could anyone suggest who and what I saw, and has this ever been available on VHS or DVD?
