that's a pretty good version !
I highly recommend the BBC's dramatized documentary Riot at the Rite - about the relationship between the main characters: Stravinsky, Diaghilev, Nijinski, and the notorious opening night Riot. The last half if a full performance complete with choreography and the audience booing and cheering. Both music and dance were thrillingly done even though it was in a sense a backdrop to the action of the drama. Superb. I've also got the Gergiev / Marinsky DVD of a revival of the Nijinksy's choreography - that too is stunning. It's a double-bill with the Firebird
I was going to post that but thought the BOOs were a bit depressing.
I grew up in a house where my Dad was into Classical and Opera (and took me to RSNO/SNO concerts as a kid), my Mum into '50s - '70s music, and my Big Sister who was into '80s - Current day, so I got a much better education of music than the average kid!!
Really, this is a thread I can contribute too, but I am holding back as I know it isn't all about me!!
