You made a point of excluding Svetlana Zakharova? I suggest Viengsay Valdez of Cuba. And Cynthia Harvey's Kitri is incomparable.

Very nice juxtaposition of dance and music and colors. Congratulations to the creator of this video.

For a long time I thought the gold standard for this piece was Sylvie Guillem and Manuel Legris. Can't believe Platel's precision actually exceeds Sylvie's in this performance.

Hey groovestuf1, nobody raped anything. They created something new out of the shapes of ballet. Relax, no one's harming ballet. Just gasp along with everyone else, then you can be pure again.

To MrKLT1945 and Elizabeth1Rosalie: I'd call myself a ballet aficionado-- I think ballet is no less than one of the crown jewels of the human race, but I can still thrill to this stupendous production without a whiff of denigrating these folks as non ballet dancers. No need to sigh how this is so...

Phenomenal.

Svetlana is supreme, but you'd be amazed Cynthia Harvey's Kitri is more exuberant than this one, thanks to a faster tempo and Baryshnikov's choreography.

Who is she? Perfect.

Thanks very much for sharing, and taking the risk. This music is wonderful. I have just discovered Rossini, and you have just let me in to the Met, where I've never been. Again, much thanks.

Let a man contemplating suicide hear this, and he'll reconsider. If mankind can produce something like this, it should be worth living, no matter what.
