Only Record of Anna Pavlova's Voice

[teenovels]

her voice sounds so graceful as she feeds her swan, in the lake, HEY, SWAN LAKE!

[nickwallacesmith]

hi teenovels - yep, the symbolism wasn't accidental! and her voice really is wonderful - a bit in the way garbo's voice was.cheers

Lovely! calling to her pet swan,Jack.Have you seen the sweetly beautiful portrait of Anna with Jack on her lap?So lovely,very moving.It is reprinted in Margot Fonteyn's wonderful book,"The Magic of Dance"Thank you for sharing this with us!

[nickwallacesmith]

@darkfey1963 - yes, and i have the one where jack is on the ground at her feet and the one where she is embracing him - lovely images!

[raditudedude]

Wow even her voice has elegance haha she's amazing

[nickwallacesmith]

hi raditudedude - yes, a voice worthy of this great dancer - amazing to be able to get some idea of her speaking voice

[theAnnafilms]

[nickwallacesmith]

@theAnnafilms yep, she sounds exactly what i expected - always nice to have your intuitions confirmed - LOL!

[ggeeooeellee]

[nickwallacesmith]

[numberonefilmfan]

actually nick, i think she's calling to her favorite swan, 'jack', i hear the name a few times?

[nickwallacesmith]

hi numberonefilmfan - thanks for that - i've listened to the audio many times and admit i think i was hearing what i wanted or expected to hear after a while! i'm off to listen again, best, nick

Maybe you didn't get an oscar for your video, but a lot of gratitude from my inchanted garden! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

[nickwallacesmith]

hi Giardinoincantato - i'm less a total amateur at putting together little videos now - though not much better!

these days i tend to add a bit more writing and take stills and so on as an introduction

glad you liked what i did though - remarkable to be able to hear anna pavlova's voice !

[Giardinoincantato]

@nickwallacesmith In fact, it is a remarkable and precious document.

I am a complete amaterur about videos and ballet alike, unfortunately.

But I can still recognize beauty and I thank you for your rare video!

Have a nice day!

[nickwallacesmith]

hi Giardinoincantato - look we're all pretty much amateurs to a degree - and yes you're right about being able to recognise such beauty - take care, nick

[nickwallacesmith]

hey ilujustinbieberxox

yes she was amazing - and amazing to hear her voice - brings her right into the present for me

[ilujustinbieberxox]

this reminds me about a scene in like an old movie haha

but she is an AMAZING ballerina i wish i was as good as her

[nickwallacesmith]

yes, and curiously deeper than i imagined - lovely to have even this tiniest sense of it

[Leonnidik]

Very moving in it's simplicity.

[nickwallacesmith]

very primitive compared with many/most i see but thanks for the encouragement !

i have made a more involved version, fronted by some photos of pavlova which i'll try and post in place of this video

take care

nick
