Stravinsky- Firebird (Bolshoi Ballet Russe Film)- Segment from Return of the Firebird
Ballet Russe for Halloween:
Magical glowing bird from a faraway land, which is both a blessing and a curse to its captor.
The Firebird is described as a large bird with majestic plumage that glows brightly emitting red, orange, and yellow light, like a bonfire that is just past the turbulent flame. The feathers do not cease glowing if removed, and one feather can light a large room if not concealed. In later iconography, the form of the Firebird is usually that of a smallish fire-colored falcon, complete with a crest on its head and tail feathers with glowing "eyes". It is beautiful but dangerous, showing no sign of friendliness.
The Firebird concept has parallels in Iranian legends of magical birds, in the Brothers Grimm fairy tale about the Golden Bird, and related Russian magical bi...

Petrushka / music by Igor Stravinsky ; choreography, Michael Fokine (34 min.)
Resumen:
Three ballets based on those performed by Sergei Diaghilev's Ballets Russes in Paris early in the 20th century, as choreographed by Michel Fokine. These are recreated with sumptuous costumes based on original designs, beautiful sound, and traditionally excellent Russian dancers led by Andris Liepa and Nina Ananiashvili. The ballets were filmed at Mosfilm Studios as cinematically as possible, not as stage performances. Petrushka is the story of a Russian traditional puppet, made of straw and with a bag of sawdust as his body, which comes to life and develops emotions.
Unfortunately, I am unaware of the conductor and the orchestra that produced this recording.
Heavily edited to match the timings of the music recording.

Ballet Russe for Halloween:
Magical glowing bird from a faraway land, which is both a blessing and a curse to its captor.
The Firebird is described as a large bird with majestic plumage that glows brightly emitting red, orange, and yellow light, like a bonfire that is just past the turbulent flame. The feathers do not cease glowing if removed, and one feather can light a large room if not concealed. In later iconography, the form of the Firebird is usually that of a smallish fire-colored falcon, complete with a crest on its head and tail feathers with glowing "eyes". It is beautiful but dangerous, showing no sign of friendliness.
The Firebird concept has parallels in Iranian legends of magical birds, in the Brothers Grimm fairy tale about the Golden Bird, and related Russian magical birds like the Sirin.
The story of the Firebird inspired many literary works, including "The Little Humpback Horse" by Pyotr Yershov. The most famous production of the Firebird was by Sergei Diaghilev of Ballets Russes, who commissioned composer Igor Stravinsky to create the enormously popular large-scale ballet score known as The Firebird. The ballet premiered in 1910 with designs by Alexander Golovin and Leon Bakst. The Choreography was by Michael Fokine and the lead role was Tamara Kasarvena. The Ballet featured the Creature herself, Ivan Tsarevich, and Koschei the Deathless.
Firebird (Ballet Russe Based on a Slavic Fairy-tale)
Music: Igor Stravinsky
Choreography: Michel Fokine
Designs: Golovin, Bakst
Roles:
Firebird- Nina Ananiashvili
Prince Ivan- Andris Liepa
Princess- Ekaterina Liepa
Koschei- Sergey Petukhov
Bolshoi State Academic Theater Orchestra, Andréy Chistiakov
Synopsis of Ballet:
Koschei’s enchanted kingdom, twilight. A Mighty Horseman-Night- appears in the distance… Day breaks and mysterious lights gleam on the trees- they are magic apples. The Firebird appears. As she dances, flame- like, slender and beautiful, she fails to notice Prince Ivan, who jumps over the fence to catch her. She tries to escape, to fly away, and begs him to give her back her freedom. Ivan yields to her entreaties in exchange of a feather. The Firebird leaves, and Ivan sees some girls coming down from the fortress. They are princess taken hostage by Koschei the Deathless. Ivan wants to join the girls, but they are afraid. His good looks and boldness win them over, however, and the First Princess trustingly tells him the sad story of her abduction. Ivan longs to free the girls. Dawn breaks and a white Horseman- Day- passes the enchanted garden. The girls rouse themselves and leave, for they are held subject by Koschei’s sorcery. When Ivan tries to Follow them, Koschei’s servants, guards and monsters appear on all sides. At last Koschei appears. Before Ivan can escape, the guards seize him. The girls beg in vain. Koschei’s anger towards those who dare to enter his kingdom is terrible and Prince Ivan must die (like many brave heroes before him, he would be turned to stone). Suddenly Ivan remembers the feather that the Firebird gave him and summons her. All Koschei’s servants (and the Girls) are carried away by her dancing, and even Koschei himself begins to dance, unable to stop. The dance gets faster and faster until Koschei and all his servents fall exhausted. Before they awake, Ivan gains possession of the huge egg containing Koschei’s soul (much to Koschei’s horror). He smashes the egg; Koschei and his army die as soon as the egg breaks, freeing the girls and all those turned to stone before, and all ends in general rejoicing.

The premiere of The Rite of Spring at the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées, Paris, on may 1913 caused a veritable scandal. The audience was shocked by the primitive violence of the ballet. I twas so radically rejected that the ballet was taken off after eight performances. Although long forgotten, thanks to the relentless work of Millicent Hodson, Nijinsky’s original choreography was recreated.
The Firebird is a Russian folk tale in two scenes commissionned at the young Stravinsky by Diaghilev and premiered at the Paris Opera House in 1910. The ballet was an immediate success. The Ballets Russes enabled the choreographer Fokine could bring his enterprise the right amount of novelty needed to captivate but not clash with the audience. It was a total success.
The Orchestra and Ballet of the Mariinsky Theatre are conducted by Valery Gergiev.
