Two minutes of The Firebird the curtain rises and we re dazzled by fairytale splendour. Reconstructions of the original 1910 designs of Alexander Golovin, Leon Bakst and Michel Fokine fill the screen with layered castles and foliage. Flying and leaping in Fokine s reconstructed choreography comes the firebird herself (Ekaterina Kondaurova), sparking into life Fokine s simple scenario of good trouncing evil. Watching and listening bring no disjunctions. Music and design blend like hand and glove, and Gergiev s orchestra brings its own fusillade of colours. The Ballets Russes version of Le Sacre du Printemps is staged in Millicent Hodson s more speculative reconstruction, usefully explored in a bonus interview. Here, ballet s cauldron bubbles very strangely. Today s concertgoers are used to a stark outline in Stravinsky s pounding rhythms, but Nijinsky s revolutionary choreography and Nicholas Roerich s peasant costumes smudge their clarity with neo-primitive stompings and flailings inside the dancers voluminous smocks. Overall, this staged Rite of Spring is a fascinating but disturbing spectacle. No wonder those Paris audiences rioted in 1913.THE FIREBIRD - Ekaterina Kondaurova is an enchanting firebird in a red costume that absolutely appears on fire when appropriate. The dancing throughout is superb, the Prince (Ilya Kuznetsov), Princess (Marianna Pavolva) and a gruesome Kaschei from (Vladimir Ponomarev).
LE SACRE DU PRINTEMPS - watching this reconstruction enables one to understand the shock it had on the original audience in 1913, I know the music well but have never seen the ballet performed and was very surprised at the nature of the dancing. Once again lovely dancing with the Chosen One (Alexandra Iosifidi), 300 Year Old Woman (Elena Bazhenova) and Wise Elder (Vladimr Ponomarev)
