  • absolutely beautiful......silly almost to say what has already been said....this is a question not a complaint did she take that extra slow tempo wise ? I think it was made it so much more ethereal ....after this seems most people are rushing through it......extraordinary ......if only ONLY there were a complete recording of her giselle

  • wow, i cried the entire time! ugh she's so stunning! she was one of my teachers at Dance Theatre of Harlem a few years ago!! RIP beautiful Eva!

  • Beautiful, and such wonderful musicality. She has such graceful arms, but more than that she her grace is executed uniquely. Not learned mannerism...

  • Exquisite--her Giselle was heartbreaking. I was blessed to get to dance with her (as a colleague, not partner); it was intense reacting to her mad scene--not much acting needed. She & Fracci are my top 2 Giselles by far. Eva was also a lovely, kind person, & great in many styles & roles, not just romantic (tho' her Sylph was sublime, again grouped w. Fracci in my mind). So very sad to hear she died.

    Vladimir, her Albrecht here, was wonderful! Great dancer & actor, subtle sense of humor. Thanks!

  • What a beautiful dancer she was. And a beautiful woman as well. Her face at 4:15 (ca), gorgeous and full of emotion. And as has been said before, her arms are moving as if under water, the port de bras are endless. Makes ballet worth watching again to see dancers like this. Thanks for posting!

  • Sublime... Thanks for sharing!

  • This has to be one of the most beautiful interpretations of Giselle. Brava!

  • Eva Evdokimova, Carla Fracci and Alicia Alonso, the greatest romantic ballerinas of the 20th Century. I found out a few months ago that Eva died very recently, We'll remember you forever, beautiful Eva.

  • Hey style is so correct!!!! That's amazing!

  • hey katerina

    i knew a guy as a child who used to play rehearsal piano for eva - charles hedges - a balletomane who used to go to varna every year to see who was up and coming
