Petrushka / music by Igor Stravinsky ; choreography, Michael Fokine (34 min.) Resumen: Three ballets based on those performed by Sergei Diaghilev's Ballets Russes in Paris early in the 20th century, as choreographed by Michel Fokine. These are recreated with sumptuous costumes based on original designs, beautiful sound, and traditionally excellent Russian dancers led by Andris Liepa and Nina Ananiashvili. The ballets were filmed at Mosfilm Studios as cinematically as possible, not as stage performances. Petrushka is the story of a Russian traditional puppet, made of straw and with a bag of sawdust as his body, which comes to life and develops emotions. Unfortunately, I am unaware of the conductor and the orchestra that produced this recording. Heavily edited to match the timings of the music recording. If you would like to see my other music project, I dedicated a Google slide to discussing six of Chopin's great works https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1W4N0TRtUXy7VJPsdheKI24OzyY0rOQCoGXmNjUC5fb8/edit#slide=id.p
