BBC R3 Documentary - 'Les Ballet Russes'
Presented by Judith Mackrell
Broadcast August 9, 2009
Coded from a digital source at 192/44.1
The story of dance company Les Ballets Russes.
I reckon that ballet doesn't do much for most of us. Certainly not for me anyway.
But you have to pay attention to Les Ballet Russes. Their style presaged the jazz
age. Their social mores smashed convention. They transformed theatre. Their
performances, orchestrated by Stravinsky, the last musical giant at his spectacular
peak, caused riots.
Not many artistes bring fundamental change to their form. But this bunch did.
