Although the (recorded?) music is fine, the video itself is poor with respect to both production values -- resolution, lighting, camera angle -- and the uninspired pair of dancers who, among other things, do not perform the 'Volta" beginning @ 2 22.
dear Adam, is written somewhere that the dancers are dancing on a live music? Of course is recorded (you also have the information about the cd, on the notes, you can also buy it, we think is one of the best execution we ever heard!), and we also know that resolution and position of the camera can show only silhouettes. Probably you didn't read under the video where is write that dance is recorded during an open dance lesson, where many steps where showed to guests. Probably you remember the Guglielmo da Pesaro lesson, where he explain that one of the characteristic of a dancer is to be able to perform a dance in any situation, adapting on music and place. As you see the title is: Gaillarde on a Tourdillon music: means that on a well known french music the dancers are dancing variation of gagliarda, that as you know for sure, is a dance always open to variations (gagliarda is the name of the rhythm, so you can play many different steps on the same music and improvisation was quite common in a private situation). What you call "volta", I'm sure you know, is the late version of the "romana", a dance that in Italy is documented from the second half of XVth century. Concluding I agree with you that the video is not a prefect video of a spectacle, but the purpose was totally different! The dancers are not showing a dance taken from a manuscript (it would be really different if the title was "bassa pompilia on tourdillon music" because THAT is a wrong information, or a title like "Recostruction of a Fabritio Caroso or Cesare Negri dance, BUT the title is "Gaillarde on tourdillon music", and the dancers are showing how noble venetians of first half of XVIIth cent. approach to learn basic steps of Gagliarda and the sequences of a very common dance. Please apologize our english, it would be easier answer you in Italian!
