5/5
An excellent memento
by CCW (Hilton Head Island, SC, USA)
This is one of the few DVDs of Fonteyn and Nureyev dancing together, and for anyone who had the delight of seeing them perform in the early 60s, this provides a very well-done reminder of a formidable partnership.
4/5
Never again
by Martha Núñez Ch (Santiago, Chile)
You will never have the opportunity to see again such an extraordinary ballet, danced by these two "monster" of dancing. They are the top of ballet dancers along history, because their professional technic came in their genes. If you have the opportunity to see this version, please give yourself the pleasure...
3/5
anemic and indulgent
by L. ADAMIAN (NYC)
Ivy Lin's review is thorough and detailed and since I agree with most of it, I'll just add a few more caveats: 1. Since this was not a live (i.e. stage) performance, I suspect Nureyev's make-up is supposed to give us a message other than the usual stage make-up. What is he telling us about Siegfried? 2. Fonteyn is super-careful throughout. One feels she is just barely making it through. I did see them live many times at the old Met in NYC and she had more abandon then. This must have been taped just before her retirment. 3. Nureyev is technically okay but cold and detached. None of the warmth and ardor of their partnership is apparent here. Nureyev has eliminated all other men (Benno, tutor, companions, divertissement solos, etc.) and has added solos for himself. The self-indulgence hits its zenith at Siegfried's drowning scene - the length of which rivals Mel Gibson's torture scenes. And lo and behold Odette goes off by herself to her eternal rest while Siegfried...? I too prefer the "unhappy" ending, but this ending seems unnecessarily pessimistic. In other productions, our seeing them united in the afterworld heightens the romance of the ballet and triumph of true love. Buy this DVD only if you are a die-hard Nureyev fan and can't get enough of him or if you have not seen any other instances of their partnership.

Wonderful

I watched this as a little girl and loved it! The DVD copy is very good.

Beautyful Swan Lake
by Gry Skar (Oslo, Norway)
I have seen them live, in my youth. I relive the experience when watching this. They were wonderfull, and to me this is one of their great ballets.
