Spartacus (Carlos Acosta - The Bolshoi Ballet) (2008)

Internationally acclaimed as the greatest male dancer of his generation, Carlos Acosta stars as the rebel slave in the most spectacular of all Soviet ballets. Filmed in Pars after triumphant performances in Moscow and London, the Bolshoi's classic production presents the Cuban star at the height of his physical and dramatic powers - as the greatest Spartacus of our time. (Decca) "Acosta, strong and sexy, the ultimate Alpha male, offers virile dancing of force and finesse." (THe Times) "His jumps have a rabid muscular force, his pirouettes smoke." (The Guardian) "Carlos Acosta was made for this heroic role." (Sunday Times)
