Bach Suite 2 – by Francine Lancelot (Le Ballet de l’ Opéra National de Paris)

The “Bach Suite 2” by baroque specialist Francine Lancelot in cooperation with Rudolf Nurejew. Giguen, Sarabanden, Bourreés, Courantes and Allemandes dance to Johann Sebastian Bach’s “Third Suite.” “Appolon Musagète” is a key piece for classical ballett moderne choreographed by George Balanchine to the music of Igor Stravinsky. This piece skyrocketed him to fame overnight at the age of 24. In this piece Apollo develops from a baby to a god of music who, with the help of three enchanted muses, brings the arts into
existence: a fantastic ballet virtuously danced by the Paris Opéra Ballet.
