Who needs horses when you have a corps of dancers like this? Absolutely fabulous!

I just adore how Christine Sarry danced this: so much expression, poignancy! Beautifully done. A LOT has changed for women TODAY!

The dancing and music mesh PERFECTLY! It's amazing what a great composer and a great choreographer gave to the world. It's a story told without words, yet we understand the story and feel the emotions.

Despite video quality due to age, this is the best American dance/choreography I've seen. Christine Sarry is superb in this. Before I saw this, it was Martha Graham's "Appalachian Spring" that impressed me most.

I've been reading about the creation of this ballet in Howard Pollack's bio of Copland, and it's absolutely thrilling to see this scene and to see Agnes de Mille inverviewed about Rodeo ~ chills!

I was lucky enough to see the marvelous Christine Sarry years ago, at City Center. It's easy to dismiss the 1970s as a stupid decade, but my God, not where ABT was concerned! More like a l'age d'or. And that heavenly Copland score...Many thanks for posting this.

What amazes you? That he's a Russian or an immigrant, or both? Most of the advances in science, music and art in America were made by immigrants, from Russia, as well as many other countries. We are a melting pot, and I'm happy to be part of it!

The way his music catches the soul of a particular historic period in America. Your response is a bit literal, no?
@The22on5 жыл бұрын
This program is da bestest! The dancing and acting,,, you can tell every emotion that the dancers/actors feel, And da bestest American music, Bravo to Aaron Copeland. As Copeland was asked in an interview "How did you manage to capture the feeling of early America so well?" Copeland answered in his unabashed, fearless way, "I guess it took a gay jew to capture the spirit of the American wild west". Will someone ppleeeease post a link to buy a DVD of the whole ballet! I buy just one DVD a year. This is my choice for next yearrr

Thanks for the upload. Previous uploads were lacking clarity. Christine Sarry's poignant performance is amplified beautifully here. The cowgirl became her signature role, and Agnes DeMille handed over management of this ballet piece to Ms. Sarry upon her passing. Reportedly, DeMille like Sarry's interpretation better than her own. The broadcast lacks the climactic ending, where the cowgirl dons a dress and dances like a lady to win her man.

David Coll not many I didn't like the pillar of fire was never one of my favorites. Mom and dad would take me to New York City we will go every night to Lincoln Center to see ABT. One night bridge and a cop was sitting right in front of us right after you got to United States. And me and the dancing friend of my moms we're trying to figure out if it was OK to go ask him for his autograph. He just snuck in the balcony after the fact I think I'll later met him at a party in Chicago. And in Louisville. But the best days were the days before that. Mom and dad always knew not to get tickets on pillar of fire night. If I watch it now I would probably like it something about it when I was a kid I just didn't like it. Maybe I'll go watch it

I've always wanted to see the ballet made to this music. How I wish the whole thing were available. And what a shame we no longer have on PBS the wonderful "Dance in America" series. They seem to have dumbed down their whole "culture" (Ballet, opera, symphony concerts, vocal recitals) to stupid Mo-Town reunions, and such nostalgic junk.
