About

Previously unreleased material with Maurice Béjart and the Béjart Ballet Lausanne – newly digitised and restored. Featuring legendary dancers such as Maïa Plissetskaïa, Duška Sifnios, Maurice Béjart.

Dušanka Sifnios was considered one of the most distinguished and internationally successful Serbian ballerinas. The pinnacle of her career was in the 1960s, when she was one of the most popular ballerinas in the world. The Boléro was especially choreographed for her by Maurice Béjart.

Maïa Plissetskaïa is one of the most legendary ballet dancers ever. Among her most notable performances was a free-form dance, in a modern style, set to Ravel’s Boléro.

Maurice Béjart’s choreography set to the Boléro is considered a masterpiece. Created in 1960, it features a dancer on a tabletop first stepping to the tune's simplicity, surrounded by seated men, who, in turn, slowly participate in the dance, adding complexity to the building in the orchestration, culminating in a climactic union of the dancers atop the table.

Recorded:
- 1960 (b/w) and 1971 (colour) (The Rite of Spring)
- 1962 (b/w) and 1977 (colour) (Boléro)
