American Ballet Theatre 02) Delibes Sylvia, pas de deux

Pas de deux do bailado Sílvia de Leo Delibes, por Martine van Hamel e Patrick Bissel. Coreografia de George Balanchine. Regente: Alan Barker.

[@simaraft7373]

Watched this again. Just delightful. No gimmicks no technical extremes and so musical. I'm a real fan of Martine!

[@airedale01]

This was from my era...love this pas de deux and these two.

[@rosgembrun]

Delibes, plus Balanchine. A marriage made of pleasure.

[@santi7616]

Indeed ❤

[@misspomerol]

What a technical brick house that woman was.

[@minissa2009]

I was fortunate enough to live in the NYC area when Martine was coming into her prime, and I thought her partnership with Patrick was everything a ballet partnership should be. Even with the great artists and technicians we have now so many years later, no one has ever embodied the music and the joy of dancing to it and fulfilling it better than van Hamel. I wish we had more footage of her, but this always struck me as this partnership's signature piece and I'm so thankful it's been posted here. I have this perf but on on VHS and it's getting hard to find players! Thank you, thank you, thank you for uploading!

[@tulliougodigangi7913]

Prima d'ora, non vidi mai la "prima donna" offrire un fiore al partner. Gesto molto delicato e, nel contempo, commovente con il quale ha, di fatto, voluto condividere il suo successo. Come dire: "Ho danzato bene grazie a te che hai saputo condurmi così magnificamente"! Musica stupenda, coreografia eccellente, sincronismo perfetto. Non ho parole: bravissimi entrambi!

[@道-p2e]

Their arms and legs... so so long and full of musicality... so gorgeous and they are still the top fine produce of classical fine arts. 🈵🅰🈵❗

[@msbeejones]

im only one minute in and am already bowled over by miss van hamel's spatial fluidity. goodness, shes so lovely!

[@dmmchugh3714]

Beautiful line between Martine and Patrick ! He was gone too soon . ✌️ ☮️

[@markbeck8384]

Gorgeous music, choreography, and dancing. Wonderful to watch!

[@radiantonion8615]

Bissell was the first guy I've ever seen to do the a la seconde pull in to passe pirouette...after class at SAB I saw him do 10 turns no problem that way. That was in about '79 or '80.

[@cynthiastone1878]

A most romantic ballet...music, dance, and story!

He is absolutely marvelous dancer!

[@santi7616]

Patrick Bissell was a marvelously talented dancer , I read somewhere that he was named during those years the prince of ballet 👑

[@allalugovaya931]

The best pas de deux in the world! The dance is so brilliant!!! Thank you, great artists!!!

[@Astrid-jt8cd]

So beautiful bravo.

[@gianniangelucci8641]

Che meravigliosa coppia di stelle del balletto internazionale 🌟🌟! Martine van Hamel e Patrick Bissell sono come due creature mitiche uscite da una bellissima fiaba romantica permeata ed accompagnata dalle straordinaria musica della Sylvia di Leo Delibes. Ogni oggettivo usato per descriverli, anche quelli di ordine superlativo , sarebbe troppo poco in relazione alla loro abilità tecnica e alle loro capacità interpretative 🏆 per cui non rimane che ammirarLi tacendo, consapevoli di ricevere da loro un dono che renderà la nostra vita migliore di prima. Grazie ragazzi ❤❤ e a Te unico ed irripetibile Patrick un saluto di cuore 🤗 ovunque la Tua tormentata anima ora si trovi, nascosta ai nostri occhi terreni 💖

[@neyfonsecajunior]

This makes me so nostalgic for dancers like Martine, who never sacrificed musicality and style for technical showoffiness. Where are those dancers now?

[@pedinurse1]

exactly AAAAAAAND I cant stand all that contemporary ballet stuff, just hate it

[@marityngvesson8937]

Patric died a few years later, from an overdose. So sad. 😪😟😪😟

[@chachak8978]

Martine Van Hammel! National Ballet School trained, so strong! Both fantastic! Epic performance!

[@classicalaid1]

There was a National Ballet auditioner who was turned down by the National Ballet, but later became Balanchine's wife; muse and lead dancer. Sometimes the National Ballet gets it right and sometimes they don't....just like the rest of us in life.

Hoje, depois de 5 anos (e depois de quase 30 anos de ter visto pela primeira vez), repito o encantamento em ver essa dupla maravilhosa nessa linda coreografia. Que leveza e prazer de dançar nos transmite Martine van Hamel! Melhor Sílvia que já asisiti!

[@philzmusic8098]

I think of Balanchine as a more modern choreographer than Ashton, but this Sylvia PDD seems much more classical to me than Ashton's--and more brilliant.

Royal Ballet? They do Balanchine as badly as any other major company on earth, including the horrid Mariinsky now. What a joke!

[@teracejones4257]

I danced with her in my early years when she was with the Washington Ballet and Kevin McKinsey was our Associate Artistic director at the time. Martin has always been a very clean and classical dancer but very boring to watch,

Saw them dance many times in the late 70s & 80s, always a thrill. Van Hamel, never less than divine. Bissell, a true danseur noble who died too young of drug addiction.
