Thanks for posting this. This one of my favorite Bach and Balanchine combinations. This shed a new light for me in terms of comprehending the beauty of the choreography. I've seen it many times but this version seemed to set something anew for me.
markie polo I wish I could know your story. I'm completely enthralled with the NYCB & all its dancers, especially the ones I had the immense pleasure of watching when my parents took me to City Center. 😊 I have the best memories!
That's because it was filmed by German nuts who ruined all the ballets. Mr. B was not happy and they refused to listen to him. Most of the films were blocked here because he would not allow the mess they made to be shown.
@@BalletBabyBoy I read about their work and Mr. B's reaction, and wondered if this was an example. I believe I've seen other films of this dance that were done straight on, perhaps one of John Clifford's postings.
@@richardstaub551 I won't talk about Clifford, he's nuts and bitter. If you think this one is bad, you should see Stars and Stripes...horrible. Same with Liebeslieder and Agon

Beautiful, however I have seen the Trocks doing same, and they set the barre very high!

So so beautiful and exciting to watch.
Whoever thought over that overhead shot was smart. Beautiful dancing. Who is performing?

What company?
NY CITY BALLET
@@BalletBabyBoy Thanks, it looks like City, but it's not identified and there's that logo up top, left.
The first girl looks like Patricia McBride, who is the Viola Dancer?
2nd violin is Carol Sumner
Thank You!
It's a wonderful dance but the changing point of view of the film maker makes it very difficult to follow.
