1983 Kirov Ballet Giselle Myrtha Variation Tatyana Terekhova

[@maychen4801]

She is a powerhouse, perfect combination of athleticism and elegance, those unmatched powerful jumps and rock solid landings. I'm speechless.

[@enquirywebsite4104]

Such clarity in her ethereal yet authoritative dancing! A matchless Myrtha.

すごくキレイなミルタですね。指先から足まで、丁寧です

[@ruthofzion]

The finest Myrtha I have ever seen!!!. I had this performance on VHS.

[@ruthofzion]

You need professional help kimmois1.

[@vladpolushkin3610]

In 40 years, the one and only Myrtha for me. Formidable power of the Queen and grace/lightness of the Willis. Tatyana, we remember and miss you.

[@resborzage]

Terekhova always sets the standards for all the roles she dances. She is, by far, the best Myrtha, Gamzatti and Kitri (I've ever seen). Perfect technique and awe-inspiring characterization. Ever see her black swan on a compliation DVD from a Japanese gala mixed program/late 80's or early 90's? - the dancing is perfect and no one comes close to what she delivers dramatically.

[@Bnesque]

I have to add her Aurora was the most spectacular!

[@suzannederringer1607]

Perfect. Pure Spirit - light as Air. I've always wanted to know Myrthe's story - what happened to her, why is she so implacable and vengeful, and how did she become Queen of the Wilis?

[@simaraft7373]

Terekhova is truly matchless

[@martinmeng100]

The best Myrtha in the universe!!!

[@larepimtb]

the best from the best!!

[@Bnesque]

Simply The Best!

[@leticiabatistam3449]

This is how Myrtha should be!

[@mcpushkin]

That is how this part must be done! Why would not Vaganova professors watch this video and bring up anyone to match? Fot thirty years!

[@staszekgobi]

@mcpushkin i used to work with komleva in edmonton and minniapolis so please understand that i view gabriela as an amazing human being which she is, komleva has tought many girls that became top dancers and i believe that my back ground is sufficient enough to support my record. thx!

[@staszekgobi]

@mcpushkin i have had so many discussions over the vaganova versus r.a.d. and other "giants" in the industry but the only way i can explain to any body why aggripina's system is the best is you google 10 best dancers since 1960' and chances are that 8 or more are from vaganova back ground.

[@kirmizitay]

peace and quiet

[@alejimenez76]

well you're right that was not Mason .. now I can see her , and yes is amazing for his time

[@pediatrapaola]

AGREE SAW HER IN LONDON .MANSON WAS GREAT IN THE ROLE

[@massimopiccinini7311]

Impossibile da vedere oggi nel 2020. Anche la scenografia sembra un dipinto di John Constable... Meraviglia di altri tempi.

[@staszekgobi]

@resborzage as wonderful as terekhova is when it comes to kitri plisetskaya is in my humble opinion the best kitri ever was and perhaps will be.

[@АнгелаКрис]

👏👏👏👏🙏

[@staszekgobi]

@mcpushkin I believe that the vaganova people have not only matched but surpassed this level, komleva would be crashed if she read your post... as far as the terekhova is concern her cabriolle is lovely however while executting jettes she sacrifised distance for extentions.

[@mcpushkin]

@staszekgobi you neither answered my question nor sticked to the point. I know that Vaganova system is the best and out of 10 best female dancers in the world 10 (not 8!) will be from this school by a margin. It does not help me much to see a great dancer when I want to see Myrta. We Russians understand ballett and demand from our dancers perfection. They are the best because they must work very hard to live to our expectations. We know how parts should be performed because we saw.

[@alejimenez76]

yes you're right that was'nt Mason , and I see her ,was amazing,

[@alejimenez76]

I see this rehersal with Peter Wrigth ...I dont know...is to much...alive ....to much energy...mmmm Id like to see her on stage of a traditional "Giselle"

[@mcpushkin]

@staszekgobi Thanks for your reply. Do you have a record to support your statement? Besides I would expect Komleva to teach Terekhova to dance the part. I meant that I did not see decent performance in the current generation of dancers. Myrtha is a classic dance of the ultimate complexity. Even 'greek goddess' Kandaurova looks mediocre in it. Vaganova school perhaps do not realise that they loose/or in fact have lost skills in preparation classic dancers of the highest level.

[@AliciaBaldelli]

I think you (and everyone watching this) would love Marianela Nunez's portrayal of Myrtha, Gamzatti & Odile also. She brings clean technique and amazing acting/characterization to these roles just like Tatiana did.

[@Bnesque]

why do you think such a thing? La Terekhova has airy, willi like quality in her jumps and arms though arms placement and movement are razor sharp, very fruits of Vaganova education, along with stone cold will of acting, that makes her GOAT of Myrta. on the other hand Nunez can act but totally lacks willi-like airy quality. she looks like just an evil, heavy human.

[@alejimenez76]

When the French left Giselle forgotten, the Russians discovered the sheltered and made ​​their own, from this point Giselle is what we know today and only Cubans can dance this ballet on a par with the Russians. Terekova and cuban Aurora Bosch was the best Myrthas ever!!
