“Romantic Era.” Kultur. $39.98. How fascinating to watch prima ballerinas Alicia Alonso, Carla Fracci, Ghislaine Thesmar and Eva Evdokimova apply (and often misapply) technique, mannerism, histrionics and glamour to reconstructed pas de deux from the mid-19th Century. (Their cavaliers: Jorge Esquivel, James Urbain, Michel Denard, Peter Schaufuss.) How revealing to hear them discuss ballet style. And how delirious to see them together as competing dance icons in “Le Pas de Quatre.” Taped seven years ago on stage and backstage in Mexico, this is a classy project full of vitality, intelligence and unexpected humor.
