Agns Letestu a feminine and warm Odette and Jos Martinez a convincing pale vulnerable Prince Siegfried are the stars of this deeply passionate 'dream' version of Swan Lake. Rudolf Nureyev's interpretation of Tchaikovsky's lyrical ballet far from being a clichd stereotype of this celebrated masterpiece is an expos of astonishingly powerful and recognisable human emotions. Under the inspired and clear-cut musical direction of Vello Phn this production of one of the jewels of the Paris Opra Ballet's repertoire brilliantly displays the meticulous precision technical prowess and pure unmannered style of the company's unrivalled female corps de ballet eliciting an ethereal intense beauty captured for DVD in High Definition video and superb surround sound.
