Minkus - Don Quixote / Ananiashvili, Fadeyetchev

Nina Ananiashvili, Alexei Fadeyechev

Kultur Video, 2005

A common man's point of view.
I bought this ballet to see the two principle dancers Nina Ananiashvili and Fadeyetchev because I think they dance well together. I was not disappointed in their dancing, however, I only have this one copy (of Don quixote) so I have nothing to compare it to. I was not ...

Bolshoi Ballet in the Park - Divertissements / Irek Mukhamedov, Nina Ananiashvili, Ludmila Semenyaka

Nina Ananiashvili, Natalya Bessmertnova

Kultur Video, 2005

Bolshoi Ballet
Historical footage of 1980s stars appearing in a Gala in London. Well worth having as an example of classical bolshoi at its best. People rave about today's technique but seeing these dancers 20 years on, today's dancers can only envy the ability of these dancers to ...

Nina Ananiashvili, Bolshoi Ballet

Video Artists Int'l, 2003

A Joyous Celebration of Ballet
The opening "Pas de Quartre" is 17 minutes of heavenly dancing by Nina Ananiashivili, Rose Gad, Tatyana Terekova, and Darci Kistler. The charming music of Cesare Pugni is the perfect complement to this celebration of femininity. Ananiashvili is especially captivating ...

To the Limit (IMAX) (2-Disc WMVHD Edition)

Maria Walliser, Nina Ananiashvili

Image Entertainment, 2004

To the Limit - WMVHD disk
I wanted to test my 1080p HDTV. Unless you have a Blue-ray, the only way to view a full HD on a 1080p TV is with a computer. This WMVHD disk plays great eventhough I only used a VGA connection (my laptop does not have a DVI connection). Resolutions and details are so ...

Tchaikovsky: Swan Lake [DVD Video]

Nina Ananiashvili, Alexei Fadeyechev

Video Artists Int'l, 2008

A common man's point of view.
This is one of the best Swan Lakes I have in my small collection of six. I fell in love with Nina Ananiashvili when I saw her in this production. Her partnering with Fadeyechev is perfect, so I buy as many of their ballets I can afford. This is the same production ...

Tchaikovsky - Swan Lake / Ananiashvili, Fadeyetchev, Russian State Perm Ballet

Nina Ananiashvili, Alexei Fadeyechev

Kultur Video, 2005

I could watch this DVD every day for the rest of my life and still be riveted.
Ananiashvili dances this ballet with such exquisite technique, such perfection of "line" and such emotional integrity, that it eclipses all other performances of Odette-Odile I have ever seen--and I have seen many in my long life. Fadeyetchev as the Prince, although ...

Return of the Firebird: Petrushka/Firebird/Scheherazade

Bolshoi Ballet, Nina Ananiashvili

Decca, 2003

A nice treat
In October 2004 I was in Riga, Latvia and saw the live performance of these three ballets by the "Russian Ballet" company. Very impressive performance. I bought the DVD when I returned to the United States and comparing it to the live performance I can say that this ...

Nina Ananiashvili and the International All-Stars of Dance, Vol. 1

Nina Ananiashvili, Bolshoi Ballet

Video Artists Int'l, 2003

TWO REAL GEMS
This two volume set is a real treat for ballet lovers. I myself am not at usual times terribly enthusiastic about Russian bravura dancing. To my surprise and delight, I found here two real gems within these two gala programs. Apart from all the bravura feats, which ...
