Just as Google knows everything, You Tube by now seems to have absorbed all of recorded history. Tonight by accident I discovered this You Tube clip from a Stravinsky documentary I've read of but never before seen, of Balanchine and Stravinsky and Suzanne Farrell. Subject, very briefly: Variations in Memory of Aldous Huxley.

I think it was during rehearsals for the Variations that Balanchine introduced Farrell to Stravinsky: "Igor, Suzanne Farrell, just been born."

That is lovely, thank you for sharing. I always enjoy clips of Farrell in live performance (or in this case, rehearsal) much more than the studio recordings.

So do I. Her live performances were miraculous.
