2/3 Very Rare Kirov Mariinsky Ballet Rehearsal Ruzimatov Asylmuratova Selyutsky

A few minutes later, after seeing Farukh Ruzimatov's unique balletic gifts in action, under the guidance of his coach, Gennnady Selyutsky, we see his partner in this rare ballet rehearsal of the ballet 'Try", Altynai Asylmuratova. We see her getting ready for the rehearsal and also see Igor Zelensky lying down on a bench, watching the amazing Ruzimatov.
Prior to beginning the rehearsal with Asylmuratova, Ruzimatov briefly rehearses La Bayadere and we see his magnificent Solor style and his pheneomenal pirouettes. Then we finally see Asylmuratova in action.
I wish a video existed of this performance, but I am 100% certain that this was never filmed. I am thankful that we have this video.
For over 20 years, I was under the impression that this ballet was called "Rehearsal". Fortunately, a Russian ballet fan has corrected me and told me that the ballet is called "Try" and was choreographed by a Hungarian, Fydor Stavil. It was a 2 act ballet and Konstantine Zaklinsky was one of the stars.

Everyone should be grateful to you for posting this video. Asylmuratova must have still been in her 20's?

[russianballetvideo]

Yes, she was in her 20s.

where is part 3??????

[russianballetvideo]

Maybe today. I have to edit part 3 because there was a rehearsal of Theme and Variations that must be removed or the New York Gestapo, known as the Balanchine Trust, will attack and remove all my videos from youtube. Anywhere in the next 12-36 hours.

da l' impressione che siano due donne a ballare !! l'uomo deve essere uomo !!

I love the part where Altynai just walks across the floor en pointe. So graceful and cute at the same time. There aren't any ballerinas like her. She has something totally unique about her. She has constant passion. It just never goes away. Wish I could have seen her dance in her glory days. I've seen her interviewed about the Vaganova and she looks scary as a director! I'd still love a class with her though.

The great natural beauty of Altynai really shines through in a few shots. Zelensky must have been very young here. This must be a few years before his acclaimed SL DVD with Makhalina.

@bolshoiboy8Yes - Asylmuratova's wonderfully expressive throughout her body - she really inteprets the music with every movement. And that beautiful face shows every emotion. Amazing!!

[bolshoiboy8]

Asylmuratova was so passionate in her movement but not overindulgent i just dont understand... not diana vishneva, not lopatkina, not somova, not obratsova has this. they are ALL extremely LOVELY but their all thin and well mannered. not risk takers, not history makers... like plisetskaya of the bolshoi with her absolute POWER! or asylmuratova :(

[bolshoiboy8]

the powerful men of the mariinsky is no more... igor zelensky, igor kolb, ummmmmm that one guy i forgot his name he rarely dances anymore but he won moscow competition or so... now its all leonid sarafanovs and vladimir shkylarov. skinny men with bodies like girls... the fire is almost gone. its sad because the mariinsky was unique with this as they were the true original famed trianing for producing powerful male dancers now its cuba or the bolshoi. vaganova is still amazing though.

[bolshoiboy8]

the cameras at mariinsky tape EVERYTHING dont they... i saw that in children of theatre street... like the backstage cameras. do they not tape?

Перевод названия балета на английский как "Rehearsal" не совсем правильно. По русски "Проба" (а не "Репетиция") ближе к смыслу - попытка, что-то попробовать сделать. В первый раз или чтобы потом продолжить.
