René Blum and the Ballets russes : in search of a lost life / by Chazin-Bennahum, Judith,author.(CARDINAL)877527;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Childhood and youth: the formation of an intellectual and aesthete -- René Blum, man of letters -- Marcel Proust and René Blum: an uncommon friendship -- The great war and René Blum -- René Blum and the Théâtre de Monte-Carlo (1924-1931) -- René and Josette -- The resurrection of the Ballets Russes de Monte-Carlo -- Blum brings Michel Fokine into the fold -- The new world calls! Blum sells the company to Americans -- Blum's final days."Like a detective, Judith Chazin-Bennahum sets out to recover Rene Blum's fascinating and ultimately tragic life from the margins of history. Weaving him into the tapestry of the Belle Epoque and les annees folles, she reveals a life devoted from childhood to the arts, a writer-turned-ballet impresario who brought taste, passion, and a rare gift for friendship to everything he did. The brother of Leon Blum, the first Socialist and first Jewish prime minister of France, Rene died in Auschwitz, a victim like so many others of Nazi racial hatred."-Lynn Garafola, Professor Of Dance, Barnard College."Chazin-Bennahum Has Unearthed The Truth About Rene Blum's extraordinary vision and artistic contributions. By illuminating the life of an important dance figure via an array of previously unknown primary sources, she also provides a first-rate model for dance biographies yet to come."-Elizabeth Aldrich, Dance Historian --Book Jacket.

These are recreated with sumptuous costumes based on original designs, beautiful sound, and traditionally excellent Russian dancers led by Andris Liepa and Nina Ananiashvili. The ballets were filmed at Mosfilm Studios as cinematically as possible, not as stage performances. Petrushka is the story of a Russian traditional puppet, made of straw and with a bag of sawdust as his body, which comes to life and develops emotions. The Firebird uses Russian folk tales of the magical glowing bird--that is both a blessing and a curse to its captor--in an encounter with the evil magician Kashchei. Scheherazade features a Persian sultan, his favorite concubine, her secret lover, a treacherous eunuch, and a pretended hunting trip. This luscious orientalist extravaganza is an encomium from the modern Russian ballet world to Diaghilev and his desire to share that wealth with the world.DVD; region 0 (all regions), NTSC; 5.1 Dolby digital surround; aspect ratio 4:3, full screen presentation.
