芭蕾舞剧：珠宝（超清官录） The Mariinsky Ballet – “Jewels”

Jewels is considered one of the first abstract ballets. There are three acts each named for a precious stone: Emeralds, Rubies and Diamonds. The music used for each act, which will be performed live by the Mariinsky Orchestra, comes from composers Gabriel Fauré, Igor Stravinsky and Peter Tchaikovsky.

For Emeralds Ballanchine chose music from Fauré’s Pelléas et Mélissande and Shylock. For Rubies he used Stravinsky’s Capriccio for Piano and Orchestra. For Diamonds he used music from Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 3 in D Major.
