Maya Plisetskaya in the Death of the Rose by Mahler

Ballerina Maya Plisetskaya in Gustav Mahler's The Death of the Rose.

[@TenduYou]

She is not just making pretty forms - she is EXPRESSING. A true and genuine artist, like we do not see today. Thank you.

[@eugenesheshenin2060]

The best goodbye to think of... A personal idol and epitome of unreachable artistry, elegance and true character. Always herself, always authentic, always searching - a true master. RIP, Maya...

[@karennoble1168]

Yes, one of the immortal stars of mankind.

[@aniagain1]

Not only is she an extraordinary dancer, but she gets transformed into the character actually! Music and body language are beautifully combined in this great classical ballet. A gem!

[@karennoble1168]

Yes, i fully agree with you! This Is a great precios gem of ballet.

[@Людмила-с6ч9б]

Балет открыла для себя сравнительно недавно. И думаю, как же я могла до сих пор проходить мимо ? Ведь это едва ли не самый прекраснейший вид искусства. Лично мне очень помогает в минуту грусти...Все горести остаются позади... Большое спасибо !

[@j.vonhettlingen7112]

This pas de deux performance looks so recent, as if it were from yesterday, but the identity of the two artists suggests otherwise. In this role Maya Plisetskaya must have been in her 40s, and she died last year at the age of 89. It just shows that the art of dance is timeless.

[@nonamegall4172]

I saw her perform it in madrid in 1989 she must have been about 60. if a feather hadfell to the floor of the theatre we would have heard it

[@karennoble1168]

She was 48 here, born 1925-2014 AND this was filmed in 1973.

Не хватает Годунова... Его совершенства, красоты, пластики, эмоций...сексуальности его не хватает...а Майя Михайловна прекрасна...

[@elenamerkulova2562]

Полностью с Вами согласна..Люблю Годунова....Не хватает его чувственности и эротизма...Майя Михайловна неотразима

[@СветланаБьень]

Ковтуну,конечно,до Годунова,как до Луны.Майя Михайловна неотразима.

[@lorakarlash248]

Жаль, что нет записи этого балета Плисейцкой в дуэте с Годуновым...

[@dmitryklenin3359]

Maya Plisetskaya and Valery Kovtun, of Kiev Opera's ballet company. Filmed in 1973.

[@1psoas9]

Thank you for naming him -- valiant, selfless partnering.

[@josemartin9974]

Merci de nommer ce magnifique danseur ,quelle merveille de pureté, de perfection

[@michelgenty]

Her charisma remains unequalled. Thanks.

[@kamalasaaraballet1798]

So beautiful! Brought me to tears.

[@eleonorakotsiubinskaya4658]

Плисецкая, как всегда, прекрасна! Какими-то неуловимыми и наверное неповторимыми штрихами она не просто танцует, она создаёт образ! Это и гибель роэы, и Кармен, и одилия, и китри, а современным балеринам это редко удаётся, и шпагаты не помогают.

[@glorianidus2461]

Quintessential Maya! Magnificent!

[@luisbejarano1991]

Adoro cómo Maya logra conectarse con la música y sus detalles. Tan auténtica en cada gesto. Luce como una escultura en movimiento.

[@ramonmidence2050]

I saw this film when I was 15 years , in PANAMA and it nailed in my heart , forever love for Ballet dancing. As I remember the name of the film was in spanish :El poema de la danza" it might be in English " Diva dance" ,could be? lovely and fascinating film.

[@karennoble1168]

Pure perfection, an immortal piece of live, sublime art AND Love un motion. I hope it gets preserved!

[@eskiusmi9779]

Adios, Maya. Gracias por el arte que dejaste ... Jorge

[@beee245]

she's so beautiful. and it's so sad.... the passion really moved me.

[@shaunzina]

i love the shapes that both of the dancers make together.

[@karennoble1168]

I like your observation, it Is fascinating.

[@СветланаВоробьева-ф2у]

Блистательный танец и партнёрство , замечательные наши артисты балета❣️

[@KSfan4ever]

This is very, very beautiful without a doubt, and Roland Petit's choreography, together with Mahler's gift for heightened emotional effect, captures the heart. I am not a ballet dancer, so I can't comment on technique, just on how a performance affects me visually and emotionally. Thus, although this is a wonderful performance, my emotions are swept away by the breathtaking beauty, sublime interpretation, and exquisite artistry of the incomparable Svetlana Lunkina and Nicolai Tsiskaridze in these same roles.

[@gadikaplan2908]

I prefer Godunov and Kalfouni in these role. Dominic's performance is more fragile. Maya is looking too independent and proud here in my opinion. (Writing from my husband's account)

[@letsskitri]

she was the greatest, i love her

[@jcsiegelman]

Marvelously expressive ...lovely, lovely, lovely.

[@pittbritt]

wow - 8:34... it's all been leading to that moment . The music floats, she floats and that brief lift could last an eternity... Amazing

[@donschwellenbach5461]

This and Legend of Love show her genius at work, enormous talent

[@sumar26]

I saw this wonderful dancer, precisely dancing this touching piece of Mahler's...unforgettable, and that has bben maybe 3 years ago...when I was an adolescent

[@steldap1]

Extraordinario en belleza y profundidad de expresión. No hay otra igual. Sublime.

[@kathymyers7279]

Omg this is so beautiful.

[@BytomGirl]

Actually the name of the composition is not The Death of the Rose, it's the ballet itself, the composition is Adagietto from Mahler's Symphony Nr. 5

[@wewantmusicwithoutborders2911]

***** Yes, I just remarked the same thing when I shared this. "Death of the Rose" is the dance created by Roland Petit, the choregrapher.

[@BytomGirl]

We Want Music Without Borders Exactly :-) Thank you....

[@BytomGirl]

We Want Music Without Borders Russian description in the video makes it look as if The Death of the Rose is Mahler's composition by that title, doesn't mention the symphoiny which is so beautiful on it's own.

[@rosehavenfarm2969]

Mahler wrote this movement for his wife, Alma. He also wrote a song with the same motifs: Ich bin dear Welt.

[@Giuriana]

Es realmente bello, y hay que verlo todo, para decirlo ^-^, ya sea fuera del contexto musical o dentro, es maravilloso.. tantos movimientos y tan variados ^-^

[@КлиентМЕГА-ф4ь]

Изумительная неповторимая с такими выразительными руками необыкновенно выразительно браво браво

[@pedinurse1]

this has got to be one of her most outstanding pieces, wonderful technique

[@ИринаШишанова-ю6ю]

как же прекрасно исполняют это Цискаридзе и Лунькина, кое-то феноменальное единение в танце !!!!

[@josemartin9974]

Quel duo magnifique c une merveille de d élégance et de grace

[@TheStockwell]

@love20987 Plisetskaya lives! November 20, 1925 (age 86 in 2011 ) and still with us!

[@karennoble1168]

She died at 89, then in 2014, born un 1925.

[@user-no2lx9tt7b]

Божественная, блистательная, неповторимая и невыразимая словами.. МАЙЯ ПЛИСЕЦКАЯ! После неё я не могу оценить исполнение "Гибели розы" другими, пусть прекрасными, артистами..

[@yuliyacher67]

No comparison to Godunov.

[@olganaumenco5060]

неподражаемая！ а где же она в этом балете с александром годуновым？

[@yuliyacher67]

Есть надежда, что может быть копия у Щедрина.

[@violetta47]

Absolutely beautiful.. ❤️🧡

[@ОльгаКовалик-э3з]

Посмотрите запись этого номера с Доменик Кальфуни и Александром Годуновым. намного интересней,. Я видела Плисецкую в "Гибели Розы" в Большом театре и могу сказать: данная запись не очень удачна.

[@KatjaLS]

@mschuelbe This is the "Adagietto" of the 5th Symphony.

[@journalistgirl07]

I have a lump in throat, which is not that easy to swallow... Amazing....

[@viktoriagupal8486]

Калфуни и Годунова не превзойти.

[@КлиентМЕГА-ф4ь]

Да еще с Годуновым она. Былапотрясщая стольковдохновения у обоих.

[@КлиентМЕГА-ф4ь]

Действительно великая и неповторимая балерина

[@Frenchmisto]

I will second this comment and add it is a shame there are no recordings of the original cast with the great Rudy Bryans as Maia`s partner Long live Mr Petits work. I grew up watching (and dancing some) them and they have always inspired me so much. Unfortunately these days as he is not here to choose the right dancers, the ballets don`t look like they did back then. The companies are clean but they don`t have the special qualities Mr Petit liked when choosing his dancers

[@alainspiteri502]

If j remember the first cast in " la rose malade " ballet in 1972 at " Palais des Sports -Paris was Plissetskaya and Denys Ganio in this pdd , i saw it in 1972 with pink floyd also . For me the best version on KZbin is Dominique Khalfouni-Denys Ganio ( Roland Petit dancers of Marseille Roland Petit ballet

[@alainspiteri502]

J remember the first cast in " La rose malade " in 1972 at '" Palais des Sports Paris " : : Plissetskaya and Denys Ganio in this pdd , there was also Roland Petit ballet " Pink floyd " ballet in second part .

Dominique Khalfouni was Princial dancer of Paris Opera and after Principal in Roland Petit ballet at Marseille

i see...choreography by Roland Petit

[@manfredfinch]

Ah, thanks BytomGirl for the clarification...

[@KazuyaMASUDA1982]

#RIP #Plisetskaya

[@Dan474834]

Mahler wouldn't have liked it. This was intended as part of a symphony, not as a ballet. The added dancing tries to imbue a meaning that distracts from the original meaning of the music. The music speaks for itself.

[@philcoppa]

even if he wouldn't have liked it, we do.

[@karennoble1168]

We don't know whether he would like It.maybe he would feel honored to have his music used for such great art, ballet. AND made his music visible to so many more people.

[@philcoppa]

who's the danseur?

[@dmitryklenin3359]

Valery Kovtun, of Kiev Opera's ballet company. A notable personality in Soviet ballet in the 1970's and 1980's.

did balanchine choreograph this..? Lovely...

[@1psoas9]

It DOES look like Balanchine, and the role shows the influence of ballets made for Suzanne Farrell, especially the Diamonds pdd ....
