Another historical gem from Kultur; this DVD features Mikhail Baryshnikov's 1976 American debut at the Wolf Trap Theatre. Because this was 'live recording', the disc is quite short; it is only 50 minutes long. However it is filled with an exhibition of talent and grace that could only be Baryshnikov. There are four Baryshnikov pieces featured on this DVD; two Pas de Deuxs with Gesley Kirkland, one with Marianna Tcherkassky and a solo dance.This disc features Baryshnikov at is prime, and while watching him, you begin to understand the fervor around his arrival to the west. His spins and leaps appear to happen in slow motion...virtually effortless; his 'hang-time' could easily be compared to that of basketball's Michael Jordan.The only minor concern about this disc is from a technical point of view; age has made the film somewhat grainy and the sound is in mono. However this is a small price to pay to be able to see one of the best, at his best.One other observations, when watching Gesley Kirkland in the two dances she performed with Mikhail I noticed two things, first, that she appeared somewhat shaky (nervous perhaps?...who could blame her) and second, how incredible thin she was (every bone, every muscle defined). Then during the credits there was a note, written by Gesley, warning young girls of the the dangers of anorexia and how it could affect their performance in ballet. I thought this was an incredibly thoughtful, honest and revealing gesture on her part.Conclusion: An archival treasure... featuring Mikhail Baryshnikov's at his American debut. A must have for any ballet lover. 5 Stars
