1987 Natalia Bestemianova - Andrei Bukin WORLDS EXHIBITION Russia

Natalia and Andrei revisit music most closely associated with Lyudmila Pakhomova; and advance the art form in an exciting, fervent performance. I actually like this a great deal, but always have to cringe and 'avert my eyes' a bit during the rather orgasmic lift about half way thru the program. Hey guys, kids are watching. A 5 star performance in spite of that note.

Is this programme available on here anywhere from a wider camera angle?? I absolutely loved this couple and couldn't take my eyes off Natalia.......absolutely superb/

It is posted from other performances....but you might need to search for it in Russian to find some of them......best wishes

Again, thank you for posting

I always liked this couple, esp as they're great friends of Torvill & Dean. Have you ever seen Natalia being interviewed? She's TOTALLY different off ice: playful, charming, modest, not the bizarre emotional diva she appears on ice!

They epitomise Tatiana Tarasova's style of skating don't they?

I was 16 when they skated this and remember that ending so vividly. My only criticism of her is the "A" line in which she would skate with her backside stuck out ALOT!

I'm glad she is different!! She did start to seem more approachable and likable later in her career. This is terrific.......I really couldn't see past the A frame thing either......but it worked for them. Hope you are well........Alissa flupped abit, but maybe it will turn out alright......fingers crossed. best wishes Rick

I always loved their drama and theatrical flair. I just wonder whether the cameraman was drunk, cus there were so many moves I wish I could see from a wider angle.

As I remember, they were making a point of following her 'intensity'!! She could be bizarre at times.........best wishes

Always love this couple and surprised that she was so sweet and modest in her interview, totally different from the personna on ice. Love this crazy program. This team is so cool together....my fav. of all time...skill plus personality.

Wonderful intensity between the two of them. Gotta love the 80s hair, too. XD
