That and Sheen is putting his dances through a typical ballet class classical ballet dancers have to do this rigorous training one or two hours every day throughout their professional lives. We.

Bet. You. Throughout. The hour. The ballet you were about to see Apollo was first performed in 1928

by the ballet Reuss at the Sarah Bernhardt theatre in Paris. It was the first classical ballet created in the 20 years that followed folky playsuit feed in 1990. The review of the ballet from the dancing times of August 1928 said this is one of the soberest Productions has ever presented. So in that night or in the orchestra nor on the stage is there the slightest attempt to dazzle the eye or the ear with coloristic or ornamental devices. It is great courage to dispense with these useful age to success. Since then Apollo has become a featured work in the repertoire of The New York City Ballet and other leading ballet companies. If.

Yes Julian Bream is the world's best player of the loot. I was going to to

place it on the news because I read that you find a little colon ex-presidents between and you tell him I'm OK. OK I'm sure it's fake. If you go OK it's OK people money. Okay racing's you know OK if some speak so you get what you call great gifts which is more than the time or the money. Oh nice and you making a film. You know they are filming you reach for the high seas as are the cameras picked up right now. see that. And when I say a minute I thought it was great. All Would you like to of that stuff is excited by the physical presence of musical instruments he says is perhaps the most perfect and certainly the most personal instrument of all. It's very much more than a gift. Yes I'd

like some time to play with. That's a big beginning of a. Problem with this is the same mystery. That takes a lifetime to choose a. Recording. This is a little. Igor Stravinsky remembers back into the summer forests of Imperial Russia when an

old peasant who was new plucked his tongue and smacked his armpits to make music for the children. He remembers even earlier a song of some peasant girls coming on from the theos and how he delighted his parents that evening by repeating the song. Although he had not yet learned to talk. Why did you continue this new story. You're. A different kind of way. Yeah I think you did a wonderful to meet you. Thank you for any of the ways I mean it's been a great way to meet you. Now as for.

Hillary. The world pays homage. It was different on a Paris night in 1913. A confused and furious audience drowned out his music. Barbaric. They said. But soon the world decided it would be best to listen. Que. Yeah.

Can we do it. Yeah. Oh. Just a minute yes we'll just. Stand by. Stravinsky simply you saw. The first take. With

ya instead of music is music is completely not exactly news stories already and an insect in extolling the sea. I am always very much interested baje. Fact how much you can see his movements his we're smart he's sweet. So we'll talk. His mannerisms even resemble his music. Nicolas Nabokov director general of the World Congress of cultural freedom has known Stravinsky since 1925 in the U.S.. I was always surprised when it was when he I see him conduct. Instead it means he conducts the way. He tends his right hand. To shows that contrapuntal it so essentially zoom in itself. This is your use of the visualization of that today. That is another thing which always excited

me Bester been a bet he says he conduct magazine that he's conducting is very interest. Her. Yeah me these you know. You. Do. But. Seem. To just. Know who which city views is that. So it's just amazing. That. People have been so really consume with the problem over to me music. And the music is not three faces and done as many of them distinct but it's a good thing the fact. You get down into it and the conductor is yeah. You know. Real life.

OK musician in your eyes meet you in the park and did so misty gives a bit more on this you refer her out. And excuse me but I ask cause accidents here I guess is for some dope young. If you play piano once more 24. Each same as it is 3 3 0 0 0. 0 and as good. Oh and. No. Ruin. This.

It's a relief to find fresh water. Pressure to resist him in the US. And the means. For his own nation. It's sort of. So I mean ski I would say his exact and then magically opposite cheap form of genius is in is good. For example Wagner was about I suppose writing is completely I mean I was here to cover the field of Mr. Baer and meant there is

no mission for anything which he needs. He peed on himself. Somehow he's or is just sitting quietly his piece of thorough doing that. So he's gone the country so his key isn't as a curious phenomena Sweeney's and numerous amount of internet genius heterogeneous nourishment for his talent. Yes. Yeah. At the OED Chui I am you to OK good. Yeah out Yes.

goloshes who live below the Czar would drive by his horses hung with blue nets to catch the flying snow. And in the spring the ice would break with a single great crack. And barges would carry scenery down the creek often now to the opera. He studied two days a week with him ski Korsakoff's. In 1910 he left Russia for Paris. Brought immediate fame a great friend and memories of the eyeglass the impresario who had a servant to do his praying. And of being arrested with Picasso when they relieve themselves outside the Naples opera. And being stopped at a frontier when he could not convince Italian police that a sketch by Picasso was not a plan of fortifications. Switzerland the Riviera and here in Paris in 1927. He has seen Tchaikovsky and Ibsen and the heavy veils of bear on how.

He has felt the soft fingers of the sculptor on down. And the hard ons of Benito Mussolini. He has known the friendship of Rhode Island Debussy and the love of beautiful women. Married to boss a painter and second wife to Stravinsky. Ever since. That is. Good. And evil is boxed. In. In their own life. If. You. Like. You didn't mean.

who thought her a perfect Russian. She has been married to Stravinsky since 1940. And then went to see him vigils today for So simplicity is seen as of the questioners. And. Then. It was just. In. Its status in this elite. Can you imagine the situation of it I mean is there any mention of when I think about food and man I was owed Ballo that I meet ski and man who insists I'm going to assume would. Hoovering Jews in his only age city would we ditch where well then save real best sellers on the international market Droog I wasn't there and those are your rights. And your reading of these city works.

Because of his stupidity over this desertion of ties to Russia and the Soviet Union it continues as you put it did not belong to the Berne Convention is not covered by the Conqueror.

I mean so risky at the time he was and I didn't just write a story that had a very hard time financially. People say yes but you always lived in a kind of blue joyous way. Well this is not people's business. Imagine there was a we was accustomed to live that way and she should be living that way many policemen should be

living without knowing constantly. The thought of my God was going to happen to me. Stravinsky. Saw his first ballet probably at a. Very tender age. I know that. So he saw the big check KOSKY ballets when he was eight years of age. And he became. An amateur ballet. As an American child would. Go. To baseball caps. By the time he was 10 he knew all the standard ballets he knew the steps the positions. In fact. If you watch him take. A bow at the end of a concert tour here in Hamburg at the end of the first

performance who truly come on stage take a vow. He vows in the tradition of the Marion ski fever. But. He has a very keen. Eye for. Classic ballet. However. At the time the students of his first valet's. Broke up on the scene.
