Rec | BALANCHINE’S ALLEGRO BRILLANTE

🩰

This ~15 min ballet is a real feat. Over the past few months I’ve become very interested in Ballet, and If I’m being honest, the interest is bordering on obsession. I came across Allegro Brillante performed by Tiler Peck and Andrew Veyette on YouTube recently and my amazement has yet to wear off. The first time I watched it, I double checked that the speed wasn’t set to 1.5x because I just couldn’t believe my eyes.

going to the ballet (alone?)

its quite boring even when composed by genius electronic musician floating points- but also beautiful and a great thing to do for 30 bucks on a tuesday night.

You always read about how musical masterpieces where panned or misunderstood or received middling reviews in their day but not Boléro - it was a sensation when it premiered and it still slaps. Incredible example of repetition, propulsion, building a heightened sense of anticipation with essentially one melody and rhythm throughout the entire piece. His works for piano are my favorite but I love this piece. I think this might be my favorite classical “greatest hits”.
