"Giselle" ABT 1977 Part 2 (Albrecht's Act I solo)

[daisycake96]

Beautiful dancing!! I watched part one as well as this one, but I can't work out what's happening??

[luvlife5793]

in a dance recital once they used this music for a ballet dance and it was really good, the part starting at 50 seconds and going to 3:50, that was 2006

Love the dancers but I´m not so sure about the musicians. I get the feeling they don´t go at the same pace. It´s like ... what should be "pom pom pom pom pom pom" ends up being "prom prom prom prom prom prom" (Sorry, my English in the music department sucks) Could "overlapping" be the term I´m looking for? It´s like they´re supposed to "land" together on their notes, "land" at the same moment, and they end up "landing" one after the other.

Or maybe it´s supposed to be that way(?) <: d

I love Giselle's dress because it is blue and later she is going to wear white because she is going to become a ghost

[bubblegirl4156813551]

uh, i want to watch the part she dies and becomes a ghost

[tomi1927]

Does anyone know if there are any plans to put this performance on dvd? I have been waiting for many years now.

[raulishnikov]

yeah we dancers often want to watch those perfect partnerships..but i was wondering... You can play and match great dancers of all times as a couple. for example. carlos Acosta with Margot Fonteyn..haha or Daniil Simkin with Lynn Seymour (por Daniil), Or what'd be of a partnership Julio Bocca with maya Plisetskaya.. that'be awesome.. or Corella with Markova jaja

[ballerinafreakazoid]

my favorite match was Nina Baratova, and o lord im blanking on his name! They did Romeo and Juliet with the Sacramento Ballet

[pediatrapaola]

@raulishnikov lynn seymour would look as daniil mom at his age also,joke apart he is a fantastic dancer ,but his eternal baby face is going to became a problem,he is the stronger dancer in ABT at the moment ,why is not principal?he really needs a more commanding presence.

Yeah, I know Gelsey Kirkland was one of Misha´s best partners in the 70´s but still...I dunno, maybe it´s the old and mythical russian school, so precise yet so passionate!

[anniemihn]

Baryshnikov and Makarova! You can´t possibly ask for more from ballet really. I´d kill if I could have seen them together live once, just once. Life is unfair...

[merluzasfritas]

very, unfair indeed. But yes, actually i could ask to see Baryshnikov with Gelsey Kirkland dancing Giselle.Please don´t get me wrong, I love and admire Makarova, I just think Kirkland would be such a great Giselle

[skippytt]

Gelsey Kirkland's Giselle was legendary.

[Valkyrie91a]

@anniemihn I agree, the perfect pair: Makarova and Baryshnikov! Exquisite.
