Description

1 videocassette (VHS, NTSC) (151 min.) : sd., col.; 1/2 in.

Summary

Compilation of footage of Rudolf Nureyev conducting an orchestra, probably the Wiener Residenzorchester, in rehearsals and a performance of three works: Ludwig van Beethoven's Symphony no. 3 in E flat major, Op. 55 ("Eroica"); Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Symphony no. 40 in G minor, K. 550; Sergey Prokofiev's Symphony no. 1 in D major, Op. 25 ("Classical"). At c. 99 min. into the tape, Nureyev is briefly interviewed by Italian speakers, possibly in the city of Varese. Footage from a documentary film in German, focusing on student conductors at a music school, appears at ca. 145 min. into the tape. After a fleeting glimpse of a conductor at the Vienna State Opera, there are 2 additional min. of Nureyev conducting an orchestra rehearsal, this time with the superimposed soundtrack of a pop song. There is no dance content on this tape.
