Nina Ananiashvili & International Stars, Vol.1 (DVD)

In 1991, a troupe of international ballet stars, headed by the brilliant young Russian ballerina Nina Ananiashvili, visited Japan, presenting a program which underscored the considerable talents of a new generation of virtuoso dancers. At the center of all the excitement was Miss Ananiashvili herself, demonstrating an exuberance and impetuosity coupled to a technique that can only be described as breathtaking. Dancers include Farukh Ruzimatov, Rose Gad, Yury Posokhov, Vadim Pisarev, and Aleksei Fadeechev.
