Inspired by my viewing of Black Swan, I’d like to experience the traditional Swan Lake ballet, but from my living room in rentable DVD form, if possible.
Any suggestions?
Interesting…I have a lot of ballet on DVD, but upon looking through my collection, it turns out I don’t have any Swan Lakes!
The book I’ve always used to explore ballet recommends this one: http://www.amazon.com/Tchaikovsky-Makarova-Dowell-Ballet-Covent/dp/B00008AOR4/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1296430483&sr=8-4
But upon reading reviews and such, I personally am going with this one: http://www.amazon.com/Tchaikovsky-Swan-Lake-Nathalie-Nordquist/dp/B00007M5JZ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1296430248&sr=1-1
So I can’t say I’m an informed viewer, but I think either one would be a pleasure to watch.
I was all excited because your first recommendation was searchable on Netflix, but the availability date is “unknown” (why do they even DO that?). I will put both on my Amazon wish list and if I ever get some rainy day money, I’ll purchase one or the other- thanks!
We have to link to the classic Swine Lake!
