Jewels, ballet in three parts choreographed by George Balanchine for the New York City Ballet. IMDB/DVD version recorded in October / November 2005 at the Opéra National de Paris. YouTube version is by the Bolshoi Ballet,
"Jewels is an interesting triumvirate of styles and attitudes that is broken into three 'movements,' Emeralds, Rubies and Diamonds. Emeralds, set to the soothing and melodic post-Impressionism of Gabriel Faure, seeks to espouse the classical French dancing style. Rubies, the most forward-thinking piece in this set, is a wonderfully quirkly examination of American styles, including some fun jazz moves, set to Stravinsky's strident Capriccio for Piano and Orchestra. The most classically redolent piece, Diamonds, set to Tchaikovsky, will probably be the most easily accessible to those brought up on other Tchaikovsky ballets like Swan Lake or Sleeping Beauty, and seeks to incorporate a Russian dance ethos."
