DVD: mukhamedov     DVD:       Glory of the Bolshoi / Vladimir Vasiliev, Galina Ulanova, Irek Mukhamedov, more1 review Bolshoi Ballet Kultur Video, 2005 Bravo Bolshoi! Russian Genius at its Most Powerful This DVD has a number of precious moments that make it a great bargain of memorable treasures. I only paid about $7 for it brand new - just look under the 'used' listings and you'll find new, budget copies. There are some selections that are so superb I've been compelled to watch them over and over. Among these are Moszkowski Waltz, Ribbon Dance, and Shuraleh. While the selections aren't in ...             The Nutcracker - Tchaikovsky, Peter Wright, Irek Mukhamedov1 review Irek Mukhamedov, Miyako Yoshida Kultur Video, 2008 Well done. I enjoyed this version of 'The Nutcracker' very much. The costumes and scenery and stage mechanics were very well thought out and a joy to see. The choreography was also a little different from most of the other Nutcracker DVD's I own. I particularly liked the battle between the toy soldiers and the mice. Also the 'Waltz of the Flowers' was more varied and interesting than most other versions ...             Khatchaturian - Spartacus / Irek Mukhamedov, Natalya Bessmertnova, Maria Bylova, Yuri Grigorovich, Bolshoi ...5 reviews Natalya Bessmertnova, The Bolshoi Ballet Kultur Video, 2006 Spartacus Marches On -- Again! Well, Irek Mukhamedov has, with this, two Spartacus dvds out. They are both marvelously done. Here, his leading lady is Natalya Bessmertnova as Phrygia(in the other it was Semenyaka). Here, Crassus is played by Mikhail Gobovich(Vetrov in the other), and Aegina is played by the awesome Maria Bylova in both versions. Irek dances with enormous energy and mastery of technique. He has a unique ...             Glazunov - Raymonda / Bolshoi Ballet, Ludmila Semenyaka, Irek Moukhamedov3 reviews Irek Mukhamedov, Ludmilla Semenyaka Kultur Video, 2004 Ballet Beautiful dancing, superb artists. BUT for those of us who love ballet but do not know it as professionals, subtitles describing, explaining the action could enhance our appreciation just as subtitles in opera have opened the world of opera to the multitudes.             Russian Ballet Highlights / Bolshoi, Kirov, Mukhamedov, Besmertnova, Mezentseva1 review Irek Mukhamedov Kultur Video, 2007 russian ballet Excellent historical footage. Excellent camera work allowing ballet afficianados the chance to see 1980s stars at close range. Also interesting for Western audiences unfamiliar with Russian repertoire not normally seen in the West such as "Spring Waters" - although the performance here is not as good as these dancers normally produced. On the other hand - an excellent example of Michaelchenko's ...             Gala Tribute to Tchaikovsky / Kiri Te Kanawa, Placido Domingo, Irek Mukhamedov, Darcey Bussell, Royal Opera ...1 review Darcey Bussell, Placido Domingo KULTUR VIDEO, 2008 Entertaining concert with some odd program choices- Since this 1993 concert recording is only now being released in the US & Canada, there must have been copyright/contract problems for one or more of the artists involved. To mark the disparity in length of career, singers Te Kanawa, Domingo, Hvorostovsky & others are still performing (infrequently for the semi-retired Te Kanawa), while the Royal Ballet dancers featured have either retired and/or ...             Prokofiev - Ivan the Terrible / Mukhamedov, Bessmertnova, Taranda, Zhuraitis, Bolshoi Ballet3 reviews Irek Mukhamedov, Natalya Bessmertnova Arthaus Musik, 2005 Not terrible - great! A really powerful production. If you don't care for Prokofiev's music in general you might still like this. A powerful story of a powerful ruler and his descent into cruelty and madness, reflected in the music becoming disjointed towards the end. Superb choreography and dancing. Unlike the video tape of the Bolshoi production of this ballet, well photographed.             Tchaikovsky - The Nutcracker (1989) / Natalya Arkhipova, Irek Mukhamedov, Yuri Vetrov, Andrei Sitnikov, Ilze ...4 reviews Irek Mukhamedov, Natalya Arkhipova Arthaus Musik, 2005 Awesome Choreography and Dancing I took my grand-daughter to see the San Jose Ballet do The Nutcracker, and was reminded of how much I liked it. I used to have the old Kirov version on tape, and I loved it, but it's gone, so I bought this Bolshoi version. I love it! I also bought the Baryshnikov version, and have to say that he's a great dancer, but definitely an inferior choreographer. This version is vastly superior (I gave ...             The Bolshoi Ballet: Romeo and Juliet, The Nutcracker, Swan Lake, Sleeping Beauty Natalya Bessmertnova, Irek Mukhamedov Arthaus Musik, 2007             Kenneth's MacMillan's Mayerling / Mukhamedov, Durante, Collier, Royal Ballet15 reviews Irek Mukhamedov, Viviana Durante Kultur Video, 2002 A dramatic Victorian art Other reviewers know much more about ballet than I do, but want to say how much I enjoy this work. First of all the faces of the dancers are incredibly suitable, sensual, decadent, nobility decayed. Especially Rudolf's younger and older mistresses, whose sultry looks and broad painted mouths are perfect. Irek Mukhamedov is a brilliant Prince Rudolf, brooding, superior, forceful, fatally flawed. ...             Bolshoi Ballet in the Park - Divertissements / Irek Mukhamedov, Nina Ananiashvili, Ludmila Semenyaka1 review 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 marry art AND technique!             To the Limit (IMAX) (2-Disc WMVHD Edition)1 review 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 life like, you have to run it to believe it. I would like to get commercial movies in this format.             To the Limit (IMAX) (2-Disc WMVHD Edition)1 review Maria Walliser, Nina Ananiashvili Image Entertainment, 2004 To the Limit - WMVHD disk I wanted to test my 1080p HDTV.

You can't get better than Bessmertnova & Mukhamedov working as a team, with Mikhail Sharkov and Aleskandr Vetrov in large supporting roles. The chemistry across the entire cast, as well as the artistry, is superb. It also has some wonderfully inventive ...             La Bayadere - The Royal Ballet7 reviews Altyani Asylmuratova, Darcey Bussell Tdk DVD Video, 2006 Makarova's 1980 version of La Bayadere as staged for the Royal Ballet in 1989 This masterpiece of 19th century ballet was originally staged for the Tsar's Imperial Ballet in St. Petersburg, Russia by the great Balletmaster and choreographer Marius Petipa, premiering on January 23, 1877, having been created for the benefit of the great Prima Ballerina Ekaterina Vazem.
