There is a two disk set now available on Amazon.com that may be of historical interest to some people. It shows some great names mainly from the 1970's and 1980's. Some of the pas are over-familar (e.g. Too much Don Quixote) but even these are different versions to what is already available on DVD. I believe that Ulanova's Juliet from 1955 is the only one available elsewhere on DVD, and Plisetskaya's Swan Lake excerpts are different to the two full-length versions already available for her.

It's all in colour, and the rendition and image quality is not bad given that many of these are over 30 years old. Some items are unfamiliar and strange (Layla and Majnu); as usual there are some irritating close-ups, and the Giselle excerpt is nearly spoilt by intrusive repetitions. Overall though there is much to admire and enjoy. ![]() The set is confusingly called 'Stars of the Russian Ballet'. There is another DVD from Kultur with the same title that has excerpts from Swan Lake (Ulanova), The Fountains of Bakhchisarai (Plisetskaya), and The Flames of Paris (Chabukiani). Reviews of the new two-disk set on Amazon are mixed up with those of this other DVD presumably due to the titles being the same. All information on the DVD covers is in Cyrillic script, but there are English subtitles on the tracks giving a title and the dancers' names. These are too big, often appear late in each pas and stay too long. Given the paucity of material released on DVD for some of these great names, this set is very welcome. For those of you who saw them live, or have everything on videotape, this gives us late-comers a small window into a great period in Russian ballet.
