But about 10 months after it came out, Toshiba abandoned HD DVD.

The HD DVD version was an historic first. Finally, the publication of the Nureyev 200 7 Swan Lake may turn out to be an important event in the history of ballet as an art form.It is the most beautiful video of Swan Lake and the most beautiful ballet video ever made. The Nureyev 200 7 Swan Lake is therefore in a class by itself for now. The quality of HDVD sound and video presentation when viewed in today's home theater surpasses that of DVDs and even commercial motion picture film.The show captured by the camera of Opus Arte (with Agnès Letestu and José Martinez, probably the best of the many stars) is doubtless among the finest performance of Swan Lake documented in history. The Paris Opera Ballet performed this 23 times over December 2005-January 2006 with seven pairs of star dancers. The production is pitched in every way to portray the art of ballet in its most noble and sublime form. This staging of Swan Lake was choreographed by one of history's most famous ballet stars for ballet's oldest and most admired dance company.This was the first HDVD fine-art title ever published.When the Nureyev 2007 Swan Lake arrived in HDVD, my wait was more than rewarded: But I remember weeping on seeing in 1960 a 35 mm film of a Bolshoi Ballet production of Swan Lake (probably the 1957 Plisetskaya/Fadeyechev version) in a Berlin Aktuelles (documentary and news theater ). I long waited in vain since then to see another ballet film even remotely as impressive. I have had little opportunity in my life to see live ballet. I updated this review on Januto take out discussion of the HD DVD version of this title. Although Nureyev died in 1993, I call the recording reviewed here the ``Nureyev 2007 Swan Lake.'' This review was originally published on August 4, 2008. But this is a review of the same recording published in April 2007 by Opus Arte in HD DVD (catalog number: OA HD5001 D) and published also in June 2008 in Blu-ray (catalog number: OA BD7001 D). Opus Arte first published their recording in DVD (catalog number: OA 0966 D). This is a review of a recording made by Opus Arte, using high-definition television cameras, of the ballet Swan Lakechoreographed in 1984 by Rudolf Nureyev and performed by the Paris Opera Ballet in 2005. Composed by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky in 1875.
