Violin Concerto (1974) is a fascinating documentary, blending the auditory genius of Stravinsky's composition with the graceful choreography of Balanchine. The editing techniques employed are quite experimental for its time, really enhancing how the visuals dance with the music. There's this palpable energy that flows through the film, almost like the viewer is being swept along in the performance. While the documentary's length is brief, it manages to convey a deeper appreciation of both the music and dance. It’s this unique coupling of art forms that gives it a distinctive edge in the realm of dance documentaries.
Violin Concerto has had a varied history on home video, with limited releases making it somewhat of a rarity among collectors. Its scarcity, especially in good condition, contributes to its appeal for those who appreciate the intersection of classical music and dance. The film has attracted attention not only for its artistic merit but also for its innovative editing style that sets it apart. Collectors often seek this title to complete their documentaries focused on ballet and orchestral performances.
