American Ballet Theatre 02) Delibes Sylvia, pas de deux

[@santi7616]

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

[@simaraft7373]

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

[@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!

[@airedale01]

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

[@msbeejones]

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

[@cynthiastone1878]

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

[@karennoble1076]

Wonderful.couple and performance. Martine has so much class and elegance.great partner, music, costumes too!

[@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. 🈵🅰🈵❗

[@dmmchugh3714]

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

[@allalugovaya931]

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

[@philzmusic8098]

Good gracious, those balances!

[@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!

[@misspomerol]

What a technical brick house that woman was.

[@pedinurse1]

I saw Ms Hamel dance and she was sheer perfection and beauty on the stage, what a pleasure to see such talented dancers

[@markbeck8384]

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

[@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 💖

He is absolutely marvelous dancer!

[@josephhuth3714]

Incredible dancing. Unbelievable perfection. Astonishingly beautiful. Martine van Hamel is a great artist.

[@karennoble1168]

And Patrick Bissell too, they Fit very well together. Elegance, class, poise. Wonderful costumes too.

[@lorrainezubentheim9300]

Excellent, so beautiful. Thank you!

[@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.

[@Astrid-jt8cd]

So beautiful bravo.

[@dantepilgrim]

This is the very definition of a bravura performance... absolutely magnificent in every way!

[@mariteix]

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!

[@annekrings1604]

Superbe ! Quelle finesse ! C'est unique ! Toutes mes félicitations !

[@rosgembrun]

Delibes, plus Balanchine. A marriage made of pleasure.

[@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.

[@touatifettouma9674]

[@giuliorenzobighin8165]

Esemplificazione del complesso in naturalezza in questo balletto si veda ad esempio il mantenimento della stazione obliqua sollevata da terra e le brevissime velocizzazioni delle sforbiciata.Molto bravi.Bighin GIULIO RENZO

[@gianniangelucci8641]

Balletto magnifico che riempie i nostri sensi lasciandoci magnificamente appagati. Straordinari i quattro interpreti principali, tutti dotati di grandissima tecnica e di intensa capacità artistica. Rodkin sempre di più da conferma di essere tra i migliori ballerini maschili a livello internazionale. Grazie Bolshoi ❤️

[@neyfonsecajunior]

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

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.
