Alicia in the eternity

[wendyverdades]

Peopele tak about her tuns and they are phenomenal but I feel her foot work is unparalled in this piece. Bravo Madame. Oh I am learning from you!

[aircat29]

Alonso is unique!!!!

Exceptuando a la ya desaparecida Eva Ebdokimova (Mme Grahn), tuve la dicha

de ver bailar a todas la demas personalmente y todas me parecen surgir de aquel

momento historico de las rivalidades entre las grandes; aunque hubo otra grande

que nunca bailo en ese Gran Pas de Quattre por mantener una odiosa rivalidad

con Taglioni; es decir: Fanny Elssler.....

Eva Evdokimova fantastica en su interpretacion, Ghislaine Thesmar adorable,

Fracci estupenda y muy musical.... Alicia Alonso genial y en estilo.!

The Trockadero parody of Taglioni is a direct take-off of Alonzo, who is very ery strange here, thogh uite wonderful. If you think maybe she WAS once great, believe me she was -- see the earlier version of this she did when she was young for unbelievable perfection of style -- with Slavenska et al. Also on Youtube. Check it out. UNBELIEVABLE.

What a lovely and very intriguing little pause at 4:06. It makes me wonder what she is thinking, that she should pause so enchantingly and then go on. If anyone has any ideas, I would love to know.

@mmwiz She was connecting with the audience saying "Look at me! I'm wonderful"....which is stange presence:)

[etoiledelkirov]

fracci is delicateeeee

[pasteldulce]

Gran perdida.

[fairyboy3]

En verdad les digo: carlota grissi regreso a bailar gisselle en la humanidad de carla fracci. si existe la rencarnacion

[cbojorquez]

totalmente de acuerdo contigo...

[ScenePoa]

You seem so sure about that... did you have the chance of seeing Carlota live?

Just kidding... My favorite Giselles are Ulanova and Alonso, Fracci is not bad, though.

[odile77]

Asi es, la expresión de Fracci, su musicalidad, su dulzura y su gran capacidad en el estilo romántico hacen pensar que grissi reencarnó en ella... es muy probable! Era una Giselle magnífica!

[ewbarnes]

are you freaking kidding me?! alonso is amazing! she danced that better than someone a third of her age... brava!

[calbalgal]

omg i love love love fracci!

[aircat29]

Thesmar en Grissi es alucinante,digna hija de L'Opera de Paris, Fracci aprota toda la impronta de la escuela italiana y es sin dudas la Cerrito mas creíble,y Alonso (la unica latinoamericana) es el autentico milagro de la danza del siglo XX no solo por su voluntad ferrea,sino porque es la reencarnación viva de Taglioni!!

[actor001]

Bravo Alicia Alonso!!!!

You deserve an ovation , you really knew how to be Taglioni and to resurrect the real romantic style and at that age? you are a MIRACLE

[danielnorgrenjensen]

wow

[Politeama]

Miss Alonso was 60 yrs.old and almost blind.  She is a genius!!!
