Thank you, John! What a pleasure for me to hear Rambert for the first time. Karsavina had much new information for me on her work with Nijinsky and Fokine. Please post more things like this! I have been following your TH-cam channel for several years now. I have always regretted not having met Karsavina. The closest I got was talking to Fonteyn about her once.
pleasure Bob. i knew people in London who knew Karsavina in the early 1970s and almost asked to meet her - i didn't think she would enjoy chatting to a star struck youth - not sure i regret this or not.

My goodness what a find! Fabulous discussion. I’m saving this on my audience development playlist - especially to show off ballet artists to musicians!
hi Sima - lovely to hear from you! Andrew Foster (ballet historian and author of the definitive 'Tamara Karsavina: Diaghilev's Ballerina) very kindly sent me this as an audio - he had the small LP in which is originally appeared and had it digitalised. i've listened to it more than once LOL!
yes, there is footage - just search my channel with her name :) there's 'Tamara Karsavina 'The Torch Dance' (1909)' th-cam.com/video/kuFwqTmVfeo/w-d-xo.html

Extraordinary!!!
just to hear these great legends chatting. though the chat was obviously scripted
Wonderful to hear voices from the past.
it's like time traveling!
I would not assume it was scripted, but it is extremely articulate, as it should be.
This was such a gem. Thank you for sharing it with us, Mr. Hall. It was a pleasure to listen to.
i loved when Andrew Foster shared it with me - so generous. i must say i have listened to it a number of times!

Penthesilea, your comment didn't get through - i saw it through an email comment alert - thanks for the link - appreciated
WOW, amazing.. Karsavina is on the right. Are there any clips of her dancing since Diaghilev didn't allow filming
yes, there is footage - just search my channel with her name :) there's 'Tamara Karsavina 'The Torch Dance' (1909)' th-cam.com/video/kuFwqTmVfeo/w-d-xo.html
