Maya Plisetskaya - Dying Swan 1959

[@Neldidellavittoria]

She had wings for arms. Her dying swan has always brought tears to my eyes, even more so today. She has passed on to immortality.

[@adelechatelain6160]

I also cry when I watch this; she was the perfect Swan and yes she had wings for arms....Just amazing.....

у Майи Плисецкой очень красивый лебедь но не умирающий и она прекрасна

[@ЛюбаняЛюбовь-п9н]

@@мейзуШОдесса Вот у нее он как раз таки Умирающий, а не агонизирующий.

[@niawild4112]

She was my grandmas favourite dancer and my grandma got to see her live and to this day she tells me stories of how graceful Maya was

[@lauramarquez5002]

I will forever admire classic dancers, specially the ones that perform with such majesty and beauty. I can not imagine how hard it must be to master an art like this. This performance had me in tears, I had never seen something more graceful than her arms. Pure art.

[@rose7art]

She actually went to watch the swans, to see their movements, communicate with them, in order that she will dance in reminiscent of them. A true artist.

[@ninopanchulidze9189]

Господи , светлая ей память , какие руки , это не руки , а крылья , а какое исполнение , передо мной , действительно , умерла лебедь . Браво и сто раз браво . Никто , просто никто так не танцует этот танец .

I wonder not just how many sacrifices and pain needs a masterpiece like this to be performed but mostly with what difficulty a soul commits into making those sacrifices.. talent, body, musicianship yes.. but the sacrifices...

when I was a little girl I used to go to the local lake and watch and feed the swans..Maya Plisetskaya is one of the greatest dancers of all time!! so much grace, power, love and art..thank you Maya!!

[@kyoyameganebereznoff]

The way she moves her arms is incredible. I was really taken by that moment around 2:10 where she changes the way she is moving her arms right as she changes direction; it really gives off the illusion of a bird changing direction mid-flight.

[@AA-ig8hb]

One of the greatest ballerinas of all time

[@emiliahihlat2317]

[@rogerbaldridge7135]

THE greatest IMHO

[@wendellnelson1118]

There is only one dying swan, thank you Maya.

[@ZeevaTV]

I was so fortunate as a very young dancer to see her perform..she was one of--if not THE--greatest ballerina's of the last century!

[@geneflores7023]

She was superb in everything she did but by far the greatest Swan ever! Rest in peace Maya.

[@pearlypetals]

The greatest ballerina of all , unforgettable, beautiful Maya R.I.P.

[@kartgard6803]

Однажды увидев танец в исполнении Майи, уже не забудешь никогда....

腕のしなやかな動きは唯一無二ですよね

[@austral1708]

Hermosa interpretacion de la Maestra ,emocionante lloré.

[@BeveC21E]

Lovely lovely arms! I've not seen any ballerina yet, w arms that fluid before and so appropriate for that number! Movements so indicative of swans! Can't say enough about this wonderful performance!

[@beawild]

Rest in peace, Maya. The best ballerina of her generation.

[@titorai9510]

Эх....идут времена люди умирают а воспоминания живут и о тех людях и о молодости и о СССР столько всего было хорошего,наша задача хранить память.

[@classicalaid1]

Maya and her husband were friends with my famaily in Moscow and she sent me an autograph which I treasure to this day.

[@miriam______4561]

I don't know much about ballet but that was amazing and wonderful. It looks like she can really fly.

[@catyclark665]

This made me cry! I hope that one day my dancing can have just a fraction of the amount of soul that she put into her work.

[@rodrigopineda9535]

A so profound thank you, Maya Plisetskaya... ETERNAL ART!!!

[@janetcairo]

I first saw The Dying Swan, on Ed Sullivan, when I was 8 years old. It took my breath away then,it still does.

[@ZAHAROA1]

Какие руки!Какой восторг,хочется смотреть не отрывая глаз.

[@riverofrth1937]

wow.. i never thought that ballet can express sadness like this.. so beautiful

[@adey88splace]

Wow! That was fantastic! Thank you Maya!

[@ВикторияЛысенко-о3ш]

Смотришь с замиранием сердца,это шедевр,Браво!!!!

[@Виталий-ц9э7р]

This is the Great Ballerina of all time, and the great Russian classical ballet which has no equal in the whole world. West ballet begins with the Mariinsky and the Bolshoi Theaters of Russia

[@chrismarshall4728]

Svetlana Zakharova

[@Valmom]

Rest in PEACE, dear Maya!!! There will never be anyone like you

[@DarkPlague2010]

What Maya went through to become the prima ballerina assoluta! She performs with a fluidity of movement that still remembered today. Today, she stills performs as beautifully as she did in her youth. She overcame the trauma of her father being executed, her mother & 7 mo. old brother sent to a camp & she adopted by her maternal aunt. Even overcoming the anti-semetic times, her passion for life & the triumphs she achieved are still evident today.

[@esejsnake1503]

That is what "The Swan Lake" is about...Perfection...Those hand movements...

[@anastasialenkova-molchalin5874]

The Dying Swan, not Swan Lake

[@CaryCotterman]

I love this. She's my dance hero. All of my heroes have died.

[@tiamia7139]

+Cary Cotterman I know what you mean. Maya was one of my heroes and another was Van Cliburn. Two of the GREATS! May they both RIP.

Watch her here on KZbin dancing the piece at the age of 61 AND on her 70th (!) birthday! The last one being the best, with perfect harmony of all elements and a fabulous balance.

[@philipb2134]

My dad worked for Citroen in New York at the time. Maya Plisetskaya came to the showroom (closed to the public for the occasion) and bought a car. She danced around the showroom, and this was caught on film. She was, as one would expect, magnificent. That film was loaned to a dealer... and then it disappeared. Such a loss.

[@Валерка-ч2ц]

she is an amazing dancer, and she does abeautiful job when she is 61 years old too, I danced for many years when I was young and yes it is very difficult to make it look so graceful and simple. We used to wrap our toes in lambs whool before putting on our toe shoes, even then we got blisters. I haven't heard this songfor many years. Recently while playing my piano I ran accross it but under another name. As soon as I played it I knew I had heard it before. In those young years while dancing!!!
