This Month's Featured Classical Music: ~ Igor Stravinsky ~ Russia ~ (bio)
  George Balanchine choreographed a 3-part triptych Ballet titled 'Jewels'; the 3 parts are subtitled 'Emeralds', 'Rubies' and 'Diamonds'. The accompanying music to 'Rubies' is Stravinsky's 'Capriccio for Piano and Orchestra'. It is one of the sexiest Ballets one will ever experience, especially when performed by the Paris National Opera Ballet. The excerpt on the right is performed by the Scottish Ballet, and will give you an idea of what these devilish little 'tarts' are up to. The DVD of the performance by the Paris National Opera Ballet with Aurelie DuPont and Marie-Agnes Gillot is available here.
