Summary
Unedited footage of an interview recorded by Landseer Films (Ross MacGibbon) for Rudolf Nureyev, variations on an enigma, a promotional video commissioned by Christie's in connection with two auctions of Rudolf Nureyev's collections, held in New York in January 1995 and in London in November 1995. In this video, Anthony Dowell, who was a young dancer with the Royal Ballet when Nureyev joined the company, recalls his first impressions of Nureyev, and recounts his memories of working with Nureyev in rehearsal and performance. He credits Nureyev with helping him advance in his career ; notes some of the benefits Nureyev gained through his association with the Royal Ballet ; discusses Nureyev's partnerships with Margot Fonteyn and Merle Park. His discussion conveys Nureyev's human qualities (e.g., his sense of humor, his charm) as well as his special gifts as a dancer.
