Maya Plisetskaya - "Swan"

The goddes, great Maya Mikhailovna Plisetskaya!
1975 year
Сomposer: Camille Saint-Saens
Director M. Fokine

[@KHeartsdiva54321]

Her arms are so fluid that it's as if she really is FLAPPING them like a real delicate swan...she's very light and graceful on her feet. She really pulls you in with her gentle frame and expression, I really do believe that she's a dying swan...so sad and poetic.

[@SuperLeonardo40]

That was surreal.For a moment i wondered if that was even normal.They use a word in english,,,i dont remember how to write it.Mesmeraizing?....

I'll continue to watch her for the rest of my life. I'm now 70; Maya Plisetskaya is just sublime. Incomparable!❤

@Elizee T. как же вы осточертели с этими еврейскими воплями, а чем думал папашка плисецкой, когда дорвался до халявы и воровал, что то о своей дочурке позабыл, иуда, и еще эта мадама почему-то не отказалась от ленинской премии и прочих поблажек от коммунистов, вот она, некоторых, еврейчиков сущность гадить там где жрут, причем очень сытно жрут.

Beautiful beyond any words Patrick

[@MamaTiger4747]

I saw her dance the swan when I was no older than 10 or 12, and to this day her fluidity, her gentle movements, and her arms -- those ARMS! -- were the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. Seeing her now, it's like I'm that girl again, sitting there seeing something I never imagined could be possible with the human frame. She was that dying swan, and broke my heart with the beauty of her death there onstage!

[@Najah971]

There is only ONE in a lifetime, and SHE is it! No one. Absolutely NO ONE can ever/will ever be able to dance this like HER! Profoundly Beautiful. The epitome of Grace. Thank you very much Maya Plisetskaya.

Elen, I cannot thank you enough for posting this video of Maya Plisetskaya performing the Dying Swan. I saw this live performance in 1973 or 1974 in the U.S. and was awe struck. I have never seen it performed as beautifully since that time. I was recently reminded of the performance and even called the Metropolitan Opera House to see if they had a video of that performance. Sadly, they did not start capturing video until the 1980's. I was bereft. Then I found you and this recording. This captures one of the peak moments of my life. I am forever grateful.

[@ElenOriental]

Thank you so much for those words, for sharing that story ❤️ . I myself was looking for this video for a long time and uploaded it to my account one of the first, many years ago.Because this is the most beautiful dance that has ever existed. I am a dancer myself and when I feel bad, hurt, painful, I'm watching this video. Infinite beauty, genius of grace, universe of inspiration!

[@marybj]

@@ElenOriental I am so honored that you replied. We are still sharing the joy of this video.

[@nevaehsangel9620]

Most beautiful display of swan wings everrrrr ! So touching and heartfelt 💙😢 She has got to be the master of the "Wings" for the swan, she made me tear up feeling the sawn passing , so touching! Exquisite!

[@tanialehmannn9053]

Enmudezco ante este despliegue de arte. Maya es un cisne agonizante. El movimiento de sus brazos-alas subraya la muerte inminente. Maya le otorga a su cisne dramatismo y belleza sin par. Grandiosa!

[@MoutsK9]

great plasticity in hands and such a flowing and liquid movement that nearly surpasses the barriers of ballet

[@marinaponcet971]

those arms are perfection

[@MariavHellas]

Perfection, in my mind the best performance of any single expression of dance in existence..and timeless to where I can see in a far off time a room of hi tec projections not unlike the holodeck of startrek creating this..

[@MikeBanks2003]

Maya the Magnificent--inspiration for so many great ballerinas who followed her legendary legacy. I saw her dance in Swan Lake when I was in my early teens--I have never forgotten her. Not until I saw the great Natalya Osipova did I see anything like her in ability or dramatic presentation.
