Description

[Machine Translation] The New York City Ballet, based in Manhattan, New York, has its roots in the American Ballet School, founded in 1933, and has produced many outstanding dancers under the guidance of George Balanchine since its inception. Although the company was on the verge of dissolution several times during the war, it was reestablished as the "Ballet Association" in 1946, and in 1948 it contracted with the New York City Center to become an exclusive ballet company, which it remains under today. After Balanchine's health failed, the company was taken over by the current artistic director, Peter Martins, who has been preserving the tradition by reviving Balanchine's works, as well as performing new ballet pieces and exploring the future of the company. This film includes four works with music by Gounod, Ravel, and Bizet, three French composers who greatly influenced Balanchine. All were choreographed between 1925 and 1980, and all have a neo-classical feel and breathtaking technique. They are danced, of course, by some of the world's finest dancers. The wonderful camerawork of film director Vincent Batillon is also noteworthy.

Description in Japanese

ニューヨーク・シティ・バレエ・イン・パリ / クラシックオムニバス

ニューヨークのマンハッタンに本拠を置く"ニューヨーク・シティ・バレエ"は、1933年に創設された"アメリカン・バレエ学校"がルーツであり、開校当初からジョージ・バランシンが生徒たちを指導し、優れたダンサーを数多く輩出してきた。戦時中は何度も解散の危機を迎えたものの、1946年に"バレエ協会"として再建され、1948年にニューヨーク・シティ・センターと契約して専属バレエ団となり今日の名称となり現在に至っている。バランシンが体調を崩した後にバレエ団を引き継いだのが、現在の芸術監督ペーター・マルティンスで、彼はバランシン作品の再演を行うなど伝統を守るとともに、新作も上演、バレエ団の未来を模索している。この映像には、バランシンに大きな影響を与えた3人のフランス人作曲家、グノー、ラヴェル、ビゼーの音楽を用いた4つの作品が収録。いずれも1925年から1980年に振り付けられた作品で、ネオ・クラシカルな雰囲気と、息を呑むようなテクニックが駆使されている。これらを踊るのはもちろん世界最高ランクのダンサーたち。映像監督ヴァンサン・バティヨンの素晴らしいカメラワークも注目。
