Nureyev - A Film Biography - EMI Music Germany

Nureyev is already a legend as well as a man, an icon as well as the most brilliant dancer of his generation. Many have told his story for him: here he is in his own words, a year before his death, reflecting on his rich and eventful life, with further insights from his closest artistic partners, including Ninette de Valois, Margot Fonteyn and Roland Petit. In extensive excerpts from many of his signature ballets, including 'The Sleeping Beauty' and 'Apollo', we also see the genius that no words can capture.
