Nov 20, 2008 - when i was a kid i used to dance to this in the basement. the first time i listened to it I entered into a trance and tore apart the first cassette tape and then had to buy it again. Years I later told the story to my Russian Culture Prof. He thought it was great, and suggested i buy a bunch of cassettes so i could repeat the process every time i listened to it.

Nov 20, 2008 - Jesus Christ! Over 2 and a half minutes and still credits! I gave up. Life's too short. Did anyone ever start dancing, I wonder? Hint : next time put the credits at the end, for those who are interested!

Nov 21, 2008 - technically when the ballet is performed, the curtain rises about 2 and a half minutes into the score... they're just trying to accurately depict the debut!

Nov 22, 2008 - The ballet is magnificent but I'm not very fond of this interpretation of the music. I think it's too fast. Maybe I'm just too used to the Berlin Philharmonic's playing of it.

Nov 23, 2008 - Why are musicians always contemplating over speed? The speed is perfect because it matches what the dancers do.

Nov 24, 2008 - I want to make love to Stravinsky....

jesperdepesper Says:

Nov 24, 2008 - the overall tempo is too quick

lloydgar01 Says:

Nov 25, 2008 - Yeah, but you know what dancers are like surely. They can't count for (stuff). I thought that the music was very diagenic-like with that tempo.

Rarre4 Says:

Nov 25, 2008 - Actually Nijinsky wanted the dancers to dance "between the counts" for some reason

Nov 26, 2008 - will someone please explain what this shit is supposed to mean!! i don't get it :(

lloydgar01 Says:

Nov 26, 2008 - He wanted them to be syncopated like the bulkans/russia.

dubya13207 Says:

Nov 28, 2008 - it's a ritual sacrifice being performed by a nonexistent savage tribe musically....well, it's just stravinsky strutting his stuff

EnglishBayley Says:

Nov 29, 2008 - These original costumes are amazing! Old B&W pictures are brought to life! How great to have the color and the choreography pulled together into this magical trip back to the early 1900's! Thakns for sharing!

Johnjy2 Says:

Dec 1, 2008 - attention span of a gold fish?

Mauzzsi Says:

Dec 2, 2008 - out of all the interpretations people have made of this piece, i honestly think that this one will always be the best. a lot of the newer modern versions just come of as strange for some reason

jameLUH Says:

Dec 3, 2008 - You shut up!

jameLUH Says:

Dec 3, 2008 - This piece sucks. I love Britnay Spaers. she is my favarit .
