beautiful. the music is a little off.... ive heard it better but still, this is amazing.

[prossimamente]

I don't understand why every time that ballet is staged the pianist is more terrible than the previous..

(by the way.. great dancers, I don't like the choreography)

Sissi csodás vagy !

Yes, I agree that she is perfect in that pas de deux. But NO-ONE has mentioned Nicolas Le Riche and he was absolutely wonderful too.

Actually, I think he is the better actor and she is the better dancer but they are both wonderful in everything they do.

It is such a shame that Sylvie has not portrayed this ballet in its entirety, since she is absolutely sublime here. They play it almost every year at the Opera Garnier in Paris including this year. Didn't anyone there had the idea to propose this part to the greatest of all dancers? To come back to this extract absolutely magnificent music by Chopin. It just flows with emotion and pure beauty and the two dancers totally exprime the soul and essence of this music and the characters they portray.

sylvie is sublime. such an intensity. this prooves that inside the technician there is a big heart

[iysum]

She is so great. Perfect in tech, and wonderful in acting.

Does anyone know anything about the music? I know it's Chopin, but what's the title?

[semola1998]

Ballade n.1

[Krysnth]

Sylvie's body is divinely formed. Thanks much for this!

J'aime ces deux danseurs, mais Chopin s'écoute les yeux fermés.

[dancingwithoutwords]

@ganoukorki Chopin is extremely danceable, because his music comes from the heart, and support perfectly the top expression in Ballet. My opinion: 1.Chopin Ballade N 1 is too big for this drama- the playing version is terrible and slow, passionless-. 2.Syl is so flat..the choreography only works in the slow parts.Sounds Vaudeville sometimes.Check Lucia Lacarra version with 2 tempo of Chopin piano Concerto N 1 much more expressive and Elegant.This is out of context so I agree,this piece is out

[eryllys]

tuez le pianiste!!!!!

[danse0pera]

Is it Neumeier's choreography ?

They are both wonderful !
