We've been talking in my Ballets Russes course about the sensational impact caused by Nijinsky's performance in
Spectre de la Rose and how this became his signature piece, especially his famous jump out the window at the end. Frankly, most of the performances I've seen of this ballet left me wondering what all the fuss was about, but then I saw this video of Herman Cornejo, whose elevation and ballon are exemplary, and whose final jump is truly gasp-inducing.
