Afternoon of a Faun

Youtube is a poor substitute for my magical one wish in life: to go back in time and see Nijinsky dance one of Fokine's ballets (although, I perhaps would settle to see Nijinsky dance his own "Sacre du Printemps.")

Anyway, at least some recorded Nureyev performances exist:



This is how I would like to spend my afternoons from now on, like a faun.
