VHS Movie Reviews of Don Quixote / Baryshnikov, Harvey, American Ballet Theatre [VHS]

Movie Review: Ravishing performance!
Summary: 5 Stars

Cynthia Harvey and Mikhail Baryshnikov became a brilliant and historical artistic couple. In what concerns to their memorable and exciting role in Don Quixote, the result was simply glamorous and overwhelming. Grace and technique were bounded with steeled commitment, additionally the musical support, choreography, make-up and custom design contributed notably to make one of the most legendary and successful versions ever seen on screen.

For all the lovers of this artistic discipline, this album is a must-have.

Movie Review: Cynthia Harvey is the STAR of this ballet
Summary: 5 Stars

I have seen many other versions of this ballet, but Ms. Harvey is superb. She outshown Mikail Baryshnikov. She is wonderful. I fully enjoyed the ballet, but most especially her excellent performance!

Movie Review: Great Performance
Summary: 5 Stars

This is a great video of Don Q.Beautiful technique by amazing young artists.The Dryad Fairy took my breath away....she is amazing!This video is worth every penny for anyone interested in ballet and dance, ballet students,pre professional and professional dancers alike.

Movie Review: Charming Performance
Summary: 5 Stars

This is my favorite version of Don Quixote on DVD/video. The featured dancers are from a classic era, and each gives a unique and charming performance. I don't enjoy the long, drawn out mime segments, however. Those do get silly.


Movie Review: Leaves You Smiling and Happy
Summary: 5 Stars

This ballet is fun to watch! I've watched it many, many times, and I've never failed to be uplifted by this performance. It is showey, and full of life and joy. One rather unusual feature is the playing of some of the closing music during the final curtain calls. This adds much life to what is frequently a rather dull time, watching the dancers take their bows. The music adds a final sparkle that brings the whole performance to a close with verve and life. As some of the reviewers have pointed out, it may not be perfect, but it provides an evening of sheer enjoyment, and is a great way to introduce your non-ballet friends to something they may have a better than average chance of enjoying.
