The Bolshoi Ballet came to London in (I think) 1974,and played at the London Coliseum,where I was (luckily) working.
I met both Vladimir and Ekaterina(amongst others) and they were very friendly and down to earth. The other touring company (in Canada) contained Mikhail Barishnikov (who defected) this meant that the London comapny were under armed(KGB) guard after that.Before it had been free and easy.
I was lucky,in the fact that I got to see all the performances for free!
PERFECTOS !!! QUE PAREJA!!! no he visto en mi vida , y he visto práticamente a todos los grandes, unos bailarines como KATYA Y VOLODIA,, absolutamente DIVINOS,
Thank you so much for this excellent video. Two of the greatest Ballet dancers of all times: Ekaterina Maximova and Vladimir Vasiliev. We miss you, Katya, but your charm is eternal.
she seems to be ahead of her time..I mean, most dancers at that time danced with a certain style that is percieved in most performances, but Ekaterina dances as if she were living in the year 2011!! she's amazing, and vasiliev is too!!!

His son? Which son? As we know, Maksimova & Vasiliev don´t have children!
??????????????????????????????????????
But I agree with you: god bless Vasiliev and I´m sure, HE HIMSELF takes care about Katia Sergeevna in heaven. R.I.P.

Maybe MrNocco thinks that Vladimir Vasiliev is father of dancer Ivan Vasiliev because he also dances with Bolshoi. But he isn't his son, of course.
