DVD Reviews of Giselle
DVD Review: GISELLE-THE BALLET OF INJUSTICE
Summary: 5 Stars
Giselle is one of the most popular ballets of all time, gets a new DVD version recorded in 2006 with the London theater production of Covent Garden.
The music of Adoph Adam is simple, with easy melodies, naive, sometimes even silly. But fell in public taste.
The composer had 3 weeks to write the book and used portions of another of his own ballet, Le Pirate.
The Covent Garden production is impeccable, perfect scenery and costumes were in keeping with the libretto.
The direction of images is excellent, shows all the scenes with clarity.
Light of a unique beauty and traditional choreography. The orchestra conducted by Boriz Cruzin has excellent sound, especially in the woods.
Alina Cojocaru is in a state of grace. Criticized his performance in Sleeping Beauty by the lack of emotion, but that the dancer Giselle shows all his artistic potential. Your body and facial expressions are perfectly adapted to Giselle. Dance with delicacy printing a naivety poor provincial girl. Her mad scene that closes the first act is to shatter. By becoming Willis jumps beautifully giving the illusion of being a troubled spirit.
Johan Kobborg shows Albrecht is a right, its best passages are when you the duets with Giselle. There is great chemistry between them, the end of the second act is remarkable.
Hilarion is the most wronged character in the history of ballet, a man of pure heart and love go all out to show that such Giselle Albrecht is just a sleazy second-rate and consegue.Mas the girl is in love and when that happens it seems she can not think. Proof of Giselle that the prince is preppy boyfriend of another, or a great liar. What does he gain from it, death. Will visit the girl in his grave and take a Pataquiva of Willis who send him to the cemetery. What does heroin even after her death to the man who tried to open their eyes? Nothing, let him go to hell without remorca. But Giselle in her passion breathtaking saves the scoundrel, who lied to her saying he was poor and without compromise and caused his death. He quite ready to live and she mortinha da silva. What love can stand so dirty!
Women of my Brazil you do this?
Hilarion is represented by Martin Harvey and boy does the job perfectly. Another highlight is always exciting for the participation of Marianela Nunez, ballerina roles accepts "small" and turns it into huge, Myrtha its technical quality is exceptional and emotional.
The corps de ballet of the Mountbatten participation has sometimes modest, sometimes interesting
GISELLE-O BALÉ DA INJUSTIÇA
Giselle é um dos balés mais populares de todos os tempos, ganha uma nova versão em DVD gravada em 2006 com produção do teatro londrino Covent Garden.
A música de Adoph Adam é simples, com melodias fáceis, ingênuas , as vezes até bobinhas. Mas caiu no gosto do público.
O compositor teve 3 semanas para compor a obra e utilizou trechos de outro balé de sua autoria, Le Pirate.
A produção do Covent Garden é impecável, cenário e figurino perfeitos , condizentes com o libreto.
A direção de imagens está excelente, mostra todas as cenas com clareza.
Luz de uma beleza ímpar e coreografia tradicional. A orquestra regida por Boriz Cruzin tem excelente sonoridade, principalmente nas madeiras.
Alina Cojocaru está em estado de graça. Critiquei sua apresentação em Sleeping Beauty pela falta de emoção, mas nessa Giselle a bailarina mostra todo seu potencial artístico. Seu corpo e suas expressões faciais se adaptam perfeitamente a Giselle .Dança com delicadeza imprimindo uma ingênuidade a pobre moça interiorana . Sua cena da loucura que fecha o primeiro ato é de arrasar. Quando se transforma em Willis salta com beleza dando a ilusão de ser um espírito atormentado.
Johan Kobborg mostra-se um Albrecht correto, suas melhores passagens estão quando faz os duetos com Giselle. Existe grande química entre ambos, o final do segundo ato é memorável.
Hilarion é o personagem mais injustiçado da história do balé, homem de coração puro e apaixonado faz de tudo para mostrar a Giselle que esse tal de Albrecht não passa de um pilantra de segunda categoria e o consegue.Mas a moça está apaixonada e quando isso acontece parece que ela não consegue pensar. Prova a Giselle que o príncipe mauricinho é noivo de outra, ou seja, um grande mentiroso. O que ele ganha com isso, a morte. Vai visitar a moça em seu túmulo e leva uma pataquada das Willis que o mandam ao cemitério. O que a heroína faz mesmo depois de morta para o homem que tentou abrir seus olhos? Nada, deixa ele ir para o inferno sem remorços. Mas Giselle em sua paixão arrebatadora salva o pilantra, aquele que mentiu para ela dizendo que era pobre e sem compromisso e provocou sua morte. Ele vivo para aprontar bastante e ela mortinha da silva. Que amor aguenta tanta sacanagem!
Mulheres do meu Brasil vocês fariam isso?
Hilarion é representado por Martin Harvey e o rapaz dá conta do recado com perfeição. Outro destaque fica para a sempre emocionante participação de Marianela Nunez, bailarina que aceita papéis "pequenos" e o transforma em enormes, sua Myrtha é de qualidade técnica e emotiva excepcional.
O corpo de baile do Covent Gardem tem participação as vezes modesta, as vezes interessante.
