This is a DVD release of a valuable TV program (recorded in 1977) choreographed by George Balanchine (1904-1983), one of the greatest choreographers of the 20th century, who was born in Imperial Russia, emigrated to the United States after the revolution, and became a foster parent of American ballet. It is a pleasure to be able to enjoy the superb artistry of Suzanne Farrell and Peter Martins in their prime, who were active in "Tzigane" and "Jewels - Diamonds" at the beginning. There is no specific story here. It is a video that makes one wonder why Balanchine's choreography is so dreamily beautiful, despite being abstract. Is it because the dance sensitively accompanies the beauty of the music itself, without being bound by the conventional world of princes and princesses, while hinting at the romance of love between men and women? Works that are not particularly popular based on the music alone, such as Hindemith's "The Four Temperaments" and Stravinsky's "Violin Concerto," are elevated to this extent by the power of dance, which is proof that Balanchine is an extremely excellent listener of music. The charm of the music is doubled in works like Mozart's "Divertimento No. 15" and "Jewels," inevitably leading the viewer into a state of enchantment. It is a treasure-like video that immerses you in a world of classical elegance and sophistication, and one you will want to keep on hand forever. The commentary is also substantial. (Naoki Hayashida)
