    Greetings from Toronto!
    I just had my winter ballet intensive program here this afternoon. We danced this with beautiful moments. I also play piano for so many years. You did great performance in this video. I hope one day I can be able to play some of it.🙂

    Would you ever consider releasing sheet music for this piece? Your arrangement is lovely! 🌸

  • @jiperezv
    @jiperezv 6 лет назад +2

    Beautiful. Opening with the cadenza (which is the original Minkus', as other versions include Lanchbery's). It builds up in a very dreamy way and comes to a very "piano concerto" climax near the end before finishing with the first melody. Very well played.
    Could you record the full dream scene of La Bayadère? The Lanchbery piano version is available online at Imslp.org Thank you very much

    I love entrance of Shades followed by the waltz, performed in a ballet by corps-de-ballet. Is this based on original Minkus score? I know it was later modified to satisfy ears of modern ballet fans, shame.

    • @caruuso
      @caruuso  7 лет назад +6

      BytomGirl, to be honest I simply transcribed it from one of the full length modern productions hosted on RUclips. Can't remember which now, but they all appear to be the same. I added a little arpeggio twiddle towards the end immediately before the final reprise of the theme, but apart from that it follows pretty much exactly those versions.

    • @avesraggiana
      @avesraggiana Месяц назад

      @@caruuso ABT’s production of “La Bayadere” was the first to be “Lanchberry-ized”. Supposedly, the original Minkus orchestral score could not be easily obtained from the then USSR, so John (later Sir John) Lanchberry came up with his own arrangements that were based on a piano score. There’s a subtle but decided difference in some of the sections. I’m not a trained musician so I don’t know what the correct terms are, but even with my untrained ears, I can hear a difference. In any case, 19th century ballet music, especially by Minkus, is pretty banal. It took Tchaikovsky to elevate ballet music to a modicum of respectability. Even so, your piano rendition is simply beautiful.

      @caruuso  3 года назад

      If you mean the orchestral score, I looked for it unsuccessfully when I was thinking about this arrangement. I had to settle on a simplified piano version I found on the Petrucci library site (composer is Ludwig Minkus).

      Google "Petrucci music library composers", search in the "M"s for Ludwig Minkus. It's there.
