Customer Review: Admirable - As “Swan Lake” Goes. . .
I must first acknowledge up front that “Swan Lake” (SL) is not my favorite ballet, and of the three most famed full-length ballets set to Tchaikowsky’s music, I prefer the other two, not least because the music itself in “Nutcracker” and “Sleeping Beauty” is far superior (in my opinion) to the pedestrian, repetitive score the composer did for SL. Act I is an outright bore - Baryshnikov once said that as a youngster when he was sent off to see productions of SL at the Kirov, he would sit there thinking to himself, “Isn’t it over yet? Why isn’t it over yet? When is it going to be over?” Out of four acts, there is really only about 45 minutes of dancing worth watching: the Act II lakeside scene, the famed Black Swan pas de deux in Act III, and a few moments in the rather short final act. The rest is filler, and to less than inspiring music. All that said, great dancers in the leading roles can make SL worthwhile, especially if you can push a button and skip Act I and everything in Act III until Odile arrives. . . In this particular version, the Royal Ballet serves up its excellent corps, a mature but still technically sound Natalia Makarova in the title role, and Anthony Dowell as the feckless Prince Siegfried. Makarova was born to dance Odette - her lyricism, beautifully articulated feet, back, and arms, and Kirov style are in perfect soulful sync with the choreography. Although close to the end of her career here, she is still just about fully in command of her technique and shows that her fame in the role was justly earned. I have never found hers a particularly sympathetic persona but in this performance her occasional inability to conceal her awareness of her gifts did not intrude. She is less successful, but only slightly less so, in Act III as Odile. Makarova was never a brilliant classicist, and the bravura dancing required of Odile is generally not her strong point. In this dilemma she is not alone, as few ballerinas combine the extraordinary lyricism required of Odette AND the brilliant, diamond-hard classicism required of Odile. In fact, originally, the ballet was conceived for two ballerinas, one dancing Odette and another Odile. The same ballerina doing both parts was a later development. Nevertheless, Makarova does well in Act III, considering its choreography does not play to her strengths. She travels practically all the way downstage during her 32 fouettes, but she gets them all done completely and, at the age of 41 and in such a taxing role, that is saying something. Her balances (which were curiously lacking in security when I saw her years earlier in “Sleeping Beauty” - Aurora was definitely NOT one of her better roles) are marvelous and this is, ultimately, a very satisfying performance. Dowell, by contrast, seems curiously bland emotionally - perhaps his natural reserve paled even further next to Makarova’s Kirov emotionalism - although he executes his few solos beautifully - one forgets what beautiful, elegant, legs he had - with high jumps and clean turns. His partnering is, as always, faultless, but, like the Prince in “Sleeping Beauty”, this is mostly a thankless part. The Royal Ballet’s corp performs beautifully, the production is completely traditional - and one of my favorite dramatic dancers from the Royal’s past, Derek Rencher, is wasted as von Rothbart (who is NOT wasted as von Rothbart?!). You want to see Derek Rencher as a biting Tybalt in the first of these recorded, live full-length ballets from the Royal, the Czinner production of Macmillan’s Romeo & Juliet, filmed in 1966, with a very mature Margot Fonteyn and a young Rudolf Nureyev - but that, as they say, is another story.
Customer Review: Still the best Swan Lake on dvd
I’m not an expert but was a ballerina as a little girl and graduated into toe shoes in my early teens, so I know how difficult it is to dance ballet. Makarova is simply enchanting as Odette the Swan Princess. She was in her early 40’s when this was filmed in the 80’s. Her classical training in the Russian ballet program is very evident here. She’s not perfect, but comes pretty close. This is a very demanding role for any ballerina especially one nearing the end of a fabulous career. Her legendary reputation is certainly solidified by this magnificent performance. Her beautiful, fluid arm movements are absolutely mesmerizing. Her facial and physical expressions add to a beautiful, dramatic interpretation. I have yet to see another ballerina emote and bring forth such dramatic intensity as Odette. Dowell is a very talented dancer and quite handsome too. I enjoyed his pirouettes and he has amazing balance. I thought he was quite sensitive as Prince Siegfried. They seemed to have very good chemistry. The Swan maidens were wonderful, but lacking the exact precision of the Paris Ballet or Kirov corps. Film was beautifully shot and has held up well considering the age of the original master tape. Overall, this is still my favorite Swan Lake performance on dvd simply for Makarova & Dowell’s performances. At the curtain call, it was charming to see Makarova kiss a single red rose from her bouquet and present it to Dowell for a job well done.

Customer Review: perfect for one
I purchased this for my mother for Christmas. She really needed a coffee maker that was more reliable. This one is perfect. It has a reusable coffee filter, makes a perfect cup of coffee at a simple push down of a lever that automatically shuts the coffee maker off when done. No more worries about a coffee pot left on, burnt coffee or a coffee maker that over flows. This one is so simple and easy to clean and you can use more than just the travel mug under it. I would recommend this to anyone who is not a big coffee drinker or who really likes the taste of a fresh brewed cup of coffee.
Customer Review: Excellent Quick Coffee Maker
This is our second Black & Decker Brew ‘n Go and we really like it. We had the first one for several years before we had to replace it due to the switch going out. We couldn’t wait to get a new one and no other small coffee maker would do! It’s very convenient and especially good for a quick cup on the go or if you have caffeinated and decaffeinated coffee drinkers in the house. The filter system is great since you don’t have to buy filters. The only reason we wouldn’t give it a 5 star rating is the travel mug can take on water between the inner and outer pieces.
