I thought this would be interesting for those who, like me, had never seen Lifar in video.
Enjoy!

It's the fastest I think I've ever see it, which makes the choreography seem almost perky -- which is an adjective I would never have thought to apply to this ballet! |

(IMG:http://ballettalk.invisionzone.com/style_emoticons/default/flowers.gif) Thank you so much for this fascinating insight into the world of Ballet History. I like Lifar's choreography very much especially Scene en Blanc. I have the Ballet Russes DVD which is most interesting.
