cubanmiamiboy Posted November 5, 2011 Posted November 5, 2011 From the Youtube poster:"Here are 4 extremely rare pieces from Marius Petipa's ill-fated ballet "Le Miroir magique" ("The Magic Mirror"). The ballet was set to the music of the avant-garde composer Arseny Koreshchenko, & was given its first performance for Petipa's retirement benefit at the Mariinsky Theatre on 22 February [O.S. 9 February] 1903. With my upload is the set design of Alexandre Golovine. Bolshoi Theatre Orchestra conducted by Alexander Lazarev. CD Melodiya 5634-A, 1994.1. Scène2. Adage (this is likely the work of Riccardo Drigo, who Petipa had revise the score)3. Variation4. Valse de la Princess (Variation pour Mlle. Mathilde Kschessinskaya)Enjoy"Now, can you imagine a reconstruction of this, or even a completely new Snow White ballet set to this original score...? You can't ask for a better "musique dansante" example! I would vote for a YES!. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4qpTPIyHbFY
Ray Posted November 5, 2011 Posted November 5, 2011 I hate to say it, but this seems like it could be right up Ratmansky's alley--that is, it could elicit some good work out of him. Thank you for posting it!
