[sylvieguillemfanx10]

[faintingfrontrowfan]

Billy Forsythe is awesome and a dear friend (might i add)....

what piece is this???

[HypatiaRose]

@faintingfrontrowfan It's "In the Middle Somewhat Elevated," faintingfrontrowfan.

[fcardosomateo]

and is almost impossible to find the cd

[BALL3TALLTH3WAY]

wow this is breathtaking to watch!!

does anyone know the name of the music they use in this video?

[vexillum1]

The music is a little strange. It's entitled "In the middle somewhat elevated" by Thom Willems ;)

[BALL3TALLTH3WAY]

thx so much!!:)

[noelephantitis]

@BALL3TALLTH3WAY Same title as the ballet, available on Thom Willems' CD "The Loss of Small Detail"

[yOLoveStoned]

tres beau travail , j aime beaucoups

[Petroliovich]

The female soloist at the beginning is Viktoria Tereshkina. The male soloist at the end is Mikhail Lobukhin. The red-headed, long-legged female doing the pas de deux is Katya Kondaurova.

[LSBS777]

Does anyone know who the male soloist at the end is? It looks like Andrei Merkuriev to me (but to be honest, I'm only going by the hair).

[drummamamma]

I saw them dance an all Forsyth program at city center they were amazing.

[DancingDonners]

[tucsonlightning]

Who is the soloist? It might be Dasha Pavlenko, I am not quite sure though?

[totallyripe]

god i cant get enough of this!

[noelsalzman]

Music is by Thom Willems, Forsythe's long-time collaborator. Song is same name as the piece, "In the Middle, Somewhat Elevated." Two CDs of Willems' music are available, "The Loss of Small Detail," and "Enemy in the Figure." This piece is on the "Loss" CD. They both should still be available at Amazon France.

I saw the kirov ballet perform this last year at the kennedy center in DC.

I was blown away, a truly spectacular ballet and company

[hopesicle]

Bitches is fierce! Anyone know who the music is composed by?

[Hanswilly2]

fantastic music, great dance!!!

[LiLJai01]

this is sick!!

[aharper12]

She was living that ballerina in the solo is fierce!!!!

[chris8300]

mariinsky company

[PhxPrincess]

Nice!!

I saw it by the ballet of flanders.

really impressive

[Typhus01]

I saw it by the Ballet of Flanders also : a fiasco.

Created by Forsythe with Sylvie Guillem, never seen anyone approch Guillem's ability. This solo is good but not perfect (and in addition, it has been changed because Guillem's is much more impressive). Forsythe deserves perfection.

Always a pleasure to watch anyway (and the music, exceptionnal)

[them1n1ster7]

What company is this?

[chris8300]

dance troop of the mariinsky theater in Saint Peterburg

[cammeron16]

did you record this yourself? If so u cut out on of the good male solo's, why would you do such a thing. lol. I say this cast in covent garden....Phenominal
