Rudolf Nureyev, Mikhail Baryshnikov, Margot Fonteyn, Darcey Bussell, Natalia Makarova, Irek Mukhamedov

Based on Anton Chekhov's play, The Three Sisters, Kenneth MacMillan's one-act ballet is unequivocally a masterpiece, revealing as it does the intricate relationship of the characters trapped in the stultifying atmosphere of a Russian provinical town at the turn of the 20th century. In this studio recording, Darcey Bussell dances the role of Masha, the sister married to a boring, worthy schoolteacher, danced by Anthony Dowell, and drawn into an adulterous affair with Colonel Vershinin, danced with passionate intensity and thrilling virtuosity by Irek Mukhamedov.
