Rating: 4 stars
Summary: If it's American Ballet Theatre, you can't go wrong
Review: This eclectic program (Les Sylphides, Sylvia pas de deux, Kenneth MacMillan's Triad, and Paquita) is a beautiful slice of ABT's wide range of repertory and features sparkling performances from Baryshnikov, Cynthia Gregory, Fernando Bujones, Cynthia Harvey, Marianna Tcherkassky, Martine van Hamel, and many others. Although the taping itself is a little less engaging than I would like (ABT's 1998 tape, Variety and Virtuosity, is far superior in this aspect), this is still a wonderful addition to any ballet fan's collection.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent Performances of from the American Troupe
Review: Thsi video is ripe with great performances. The first is an awsome performance of "Les Sylphides". Led by Baryishnikov, it has some exceptional dancing.

Next is a performance of "Triad" a modern peice with Amanda McKerrow. Its is done well.

Next is Natalia Makarova's staging of "Pquita" the famous excerpt of Petipa (creator of Swan Lake, Nutcracker, La Bayadere) done very well by the leads and soloist.

Great video 5 stars.
