[Pearlaceous]

Wow - this is *the* quintessential feel-good pas de deux! Completely irresistible virtuosity, exuberance and charisma! Love it!!

@Pearlaceous Thanks for the lovely comment! I feel the same way when I watch this...

Ugh should add that I am looking for the music for the female variation! lol

[BethneeRose]

Do you have ANY idea where I can locate this music. I am at my absolute wits end and have been searching EVERYWHERE and cannot find it! It's driving me nuts! I have seached that name you posted below, but it doesn't come up with anything! Please help!!

@BethneeRose Sorry, I really don't know. Perhaps someone else does?

what a gorgeous costume, wasn't expecting the dress. I agree there is a bit of old world charm about her

[mrlopez2681]

@tutus4life - that costume is more in tune with the original costumes worn in "Talisman", even though the pizzicato variation is actually from Petipa's "La Perle", Tsar Nicholas II's coronation ballet of 1896. It is the "Pizzicato de la Perle noir" (the black pearl).

this variation suits alexandrova beautifully :)!

Who says humans cannot fly ? Well some can...

[pointeoflife]

I somehow see a little Plisetskaya in her. The dynamics, the jumps and the almost old fashioned "edge" to her movement. It's wonderful!
