​@@alainspiteri502 La Gillem a justement une musicalité rare, pourriez-vous m'expliquer plus en détail pourquoi vous n'êtes pas d'accord avec cette idée ? Votre point de vue m'intéresse beaucoup.

[@aj92507]

superb performances, I especially love the realness of the bows, genuine happy smiles and love exchanged from artist to audience! BRAVO

[@fabiesque]

I am so glad you noticed that! I am a big fan of her bows too. Not so many grasp such details. I have seen her many times and the final bows were always the cherry on top of the cake. They were to me a part of the performance.

[@ConsciousMemory]

I feel like she's the only one who could pull of that costume, and that hair. She is so incredible. This is also one of my favorite pas de deux.

immense et inégalable the greatest Guillem

[@giuliorenzobighin8165]

Grande mantenimento delle pose figurali anche in piena fase esecutiva e grande in dizione alle trottole di giravolte eccellenti.Ottima la riconduzione dei passi alla melodia da parte di entrambi. Ottimo quello che con un mio neologismo mi piace chiamare convolo aereo ed elanista della ballerina ottimamente indotto e tenuto dal partner. Ottimo l'impadronimento imperativo del proscenio con salti balzati con velocissime volanti sforbiciate da parte del ballerino. OTTIMO IL senso del continuum dato alla pièce danzante dai due protagonisti. OLTREMODO BRAVI E SPETTACOLARI. BIGHIN GIULIO RENZO

[@carles03]

Thank you so much!! So many memories came back when I saw this!! For those who never saw it, this was Sylvie's signature costume and hair do for this piece. Hilaire, as usual, marvellous. They had such rapport when they danced together. Even little mistakes looked great with them. Gracias!!

Along with the fact that it doesn't look like any of it costs them any effort at all... they are really incredible!

[@TCoffey8]

Seeing several versions of this both live and recorded. It is clear Ms Guillems interpretation is second to none.

[@thangvuong9196]

I love M. Sylvie Guillem "don't give a fuck" attitude about her looks.

[@nestguatemala6254]

Thang Vuong I love that about her too... I could not imagine Aurelie Dupont dancing pas classique with that hair... she is also a great dancer but only Silvie has that trait of uniqueness

[@karennoble1168]

in my view, Thang Vuong that Is Not an admirable quality especially In a high quality art. Elegance, class are. Check her out please in this same piece when 19, in a París palace, with M.Legris.,where art, class and elegance at its best go together.

[@karennoble1168]

@@nestguatemala6254 i could not imagine Aurelie Dupont like Sylvie in this PDD either. She has too much Innate elegance, regal bearing, great class. You either have it or not. Similarily also like Martine van Hammel, in the beautiful PDD from the ballet Sylvie, also retired, from ABT. But as a dancer, on the whole, i think Sylvie was better. To me, together with Svetlana Zhakarova, the 2 best, most ideal ballerinas of this era. Svetlana, 40 seems ageless. I think Maria Khoreva, 19 is the next great Russian star.

[@karennoble1168]

@Laura Streeter yes, Laura, i also think it is from a gala although i don't remember seeing one with so much of an artist "letting their hair down". It is common in iceskating though. I still prefer her being elegant at 19, for this regal PDD with M.Legris, filmed in a lovely French palace, it is all beauty to me. Yesterday i saw another version of this beautiful PDD, Tereshkina and Shklyarov, worth seeing, great precision, etc.

[@Lexusblago]

[@karennoble1168]

She is a great great dancer. I loved her, her elegance, elegant ivory color costume, hair, in the PDD with M.Legris, she was only 19 then. Except her great dancing, this was disappointing since the Grand pas Classique is so lovely, regal when elegant. Here She looks like from a 1930 cabaret.

[@voraciousreader3341]

I can’t believe how many idiots were fussed about Guillem’s hair! For God’s sake, anybody who can dance like that-at the utter pinnacle-can wear sackcloth and ashes if she wants to! And nobody said a word about Hilaire’s “do”….sexism all over again.

[@frogsoda]

I am not a dancer, in fact I am only just starting to look a ballet seriously.( I am a Photographer) But I would think that buns are more for rehearsal and not strictly for the stage. Although, to be honest, I am not crazy about her hair either.

[@christinestill5002]

Anybody enlighten me why some dancers sound like wooden blocks hitting a wooden floor & others are silent? Is that the dancer, the floor, the shoes, the sound system, what IS it? Not so much here but in some cases I do notice it a lot.

[@sensual1213]

it depends on a few factors actually. 1) dancers who have a unique ability to technically finesse their landing from jumps will naturally make less noise when landing from big jumps, & that depends on the person, the way that their bodies (feet, ankles, knees, legs, hips, & torso, etc.) are constructed, their mastery of the physics involved in defying gravity on the descent back down to earth, etc. 2) the construction of the floor / stage, as floors that have specific materials in their constructions will absorb or create more sound as the weight absorption creates the physical displacement of energy that results in the noise we hear- wooden floors will tend to resonate more than other materials, for example. harder floors with less give / flexibility will generally tend to absorb the sounds more, & floors with air space built in for cushioning to make the landings less stressful for dancers will tend to echo more loudly, as the air will carry the sounds waves more effectively than solid substances, & some floor coverings &/or surfaces may muffle the sound more or less effectively as well. 3) the pointe shoes that the ballerinas dancing on toe wear have wooden or synthetic blocks in the toe which creates sounds when the toe blocks (or box) strikes the floor with a certain amount of force & energy- you can hear this sound even as ballerinas walk in a dance studio or on a stage. 4) if a stage is mic'ed (has microphones set up on or near the floor), the sound of jumps being landed may be amplified. 5) the natural resonance capacity of the space the stage is in (the auditorium or theater) may also amplify the sound if the space is very 'live' & tends to echo & resonate sounds effectively. these are a few of the factors that may be involved.

[@karennoble1168]

@@sensual1213 thank you for your good explanations!

[@minissa2009]

Re Sylvie's hair: really, the whole style looks Goth, which I don't find appealing for this ballet. They were also coached a little differently, so some steps are more accented and less lyrical, although both smile happily for a lot of the ballet. Also looking at her extensions and thinking Zhakarova gets comments about her extensions being too high. Has anyone ever criticized Sylvie for her stunning extensions? Goth or not, always a treat. Wish I could have seen her live.

[@karennoble1168]

I agree the Goth style, including the dress, there Is nothing esthetic in it for such a beautiful, elegant, regal ballet. But She Is a great dancer, one of the best ever. She was so lovely in the video with M.Legris, only 19, super elegant, creme color elegant costume, pure poetry in an French palace.

[@MsDidi38]

@@karennoble1168 maybe people should just shut up about how she looks and focus on her dancing. I don't see any complaints about Hilaire's hair. Such a stupic double standard.

[@khongcothithoi]

@@MsDidi38 That's because Laurent's hair was normal while Sylvie wasn't, at least in this context of a classic pas de deux. Are you trying to be stupid, or just aggressive, bitch? It's you who need to shut up.

Whatever it is that you call Peace, You can keep it. I don't need it.

[@saralopezcanton6598]

What is the name of this ballet?

[@kevindonohue2912]

I think it is just known as Grand Pas Classique. I believe Victor Gsovsky choreographed it to music by Daniel Auber's for Yvette Chauviré and Vladimir Skouratoff in 1949. Guillem was coached in it by Chauviré herself. But I could be wrong...

[@xavierh.1916]

Grand pas classic

[@saralopezcanton6598]

Kevin Donohue thank you so much :)

[@kevindonohue2912]

It is confusing because 'grand pas classique' (or just 'grand pas') is also a general term for a pas de deux, sometimes performed with members of the corps de ballet providing a backdrop, which usually displays the lead dancers' technical strength (rather than character dancing), so many full length ballets include a 'grand pas classique' - but this pas de deux is THE Grand Pas Classique. :)

[@xavierh.1916]

You are so welcome, if u really want to see a much better version of this ballet . Look for Hans Christian Anderson awards. If u can't find I can email it to you

[@iraklim7024]

Балерина всех времен и народов, в России ей равные Захарова и Оксана Скорик, Оксана называет Сильвию Эталон Эталонов.

[@GeorgeOu]

Agreed. Her hair in "In the middle somewhat elevated" was at least cute. This is way too cropped and it doesn't belong in in this piece.

[@MsDidi38]

who cares, it's about her dancing not her hair.

[@fabiesque]

Sylvie's intelligence and taste come across even in such a preposterous pas de deux. The 98% of the ballerinas look too self-indulgent and frankly a little ridiculous in this. But Sylvie makes it like it was Studio 54.

I suppose that's not even a question of taste. Common mortals like you and me try to stick to styles and things we suppose are flattering for us . True stars don't give a D***D because they KNOW whatever they pick for them will be flattered itself on them. That simple.

[@МатюхинаИрина]

До наших солистов Мариинского, Михайловского и Большого ей далеко. Нехватает женственности и пластики.

[@voraciousreader3341]

Your comment is purely sour grapes….ENVY!! If you really believe Guillem doesn’t show plasticity, then it shows you don’t know the meaning of the word! Guillem is the dancer who began the extension of her foot above her head, by the way….NOBODY did that before her! And I’ve never yet seen a dancer, Russian or otherwise, who could (or can) balance en pointe the way Guillem did….for 5 seconds! As for grace and elegance, French dancers and danseurs have had it in their bones, 100 years before ballet landed in Russia.
