SHE leaps as high as HE does! Natalia Osipova & Ivan Vasiliev in Flames Of Paris

[@victoriapresser3569]

Osipova is not just supremely gifted, but she is also blessed with the ability to so perfectly convey all the emotions that her characters feel. I am always transported by her performances

[@АллаСимонова-ц9ч]

Осипова - огонь! Видела эту партию в исполнении разных балерин. Ни одна из них с Натальей даже рядом не стояла

[@ВалентинаИванова-ю3к]

Согласна с Вами. Осипова талантливая балерина и у неё говорящие ноги, а это большая редкость для балетных. ✍ из России.

[@joas3324]

Agreed!!!

[@EfimSpb]

Осипова - атлетичная балерина! Ей очень подходит эта партия, особенно с таким партнером как Ивпн Васильев. Это 100-процентное попадание физических данных в образ. Но героических ролей мало (может, еще Лауренсия или с натяжкой Китри). Ее атлетизм мешает мне в Жизели - не верится, что такая фемина может умереть от любви... Но героиня она классная! Может, даже лучшая из всех сейчас... ❤

[@agifar-g3d]

А мне в Жизели она кажется просто бестелесной и реально летающей в сценах на кладбище.

[@PamBoehmeSimon]

Thank YOU Michele. He is so beautifully aggressive when he dances. His traveling steps just eat up the floor, and then he detonates into the stratosphere when he leaps. He's a swashbuckling pirate, a ferocious king of the jungle, a prince who can, will, and does seem completely capable of coming to anyone's rescue. Paired with Osipova's ballet blitzkrieg you've got one hella power couple.

[@minissa2009]

I'm sitting here grinning like a maniac. Thank you for giving me an option to wading through my entire DVD to find this---it's not marked well, you just have to sort of know what chapter markers it's around. I was reading comments last night on a compilation of Misha's "goblet dance" from Don Q, and what people were remarking on re Misha and 3 other excellent danseurs was that, beyond the technical brilliance, he had style and panache and a sense of connecting with, even flirting with, his audience. I could say that about Osipova and Vasiliev. Beyond technique that goes beyond brilliance, there's a sense of joy in both doing the movement and in inviting the audience into their happy world. Yeah, retired dance critic, gotta get my 2 cents in... Edit: Plus I really miss seeing them dance together. They're like a latter day Gregory/Bujones, each daring the other to top what he or she just executed.

Wonderful. Thank you Pam for posting that ballet that I didn’t know. They both are stunningly good. The only thing I can’t get used to is the applause of the audience before the end of the number. That’s something a French Audience would never do. For us it’s a lack of respect. But I guess the Russians have a different culture of that issue.

I don't know if the term port de bras is even used for male ballet dancers, but his arms are magnificent.

[@PamBoehmeSimon]

T'is, and yes! He manages to keep them pliable and rounded (in appearance) without losing a single thread of masculinity. He is completely aware of where they should be as well as shouldn't be at all times. Sometimes in ballets as full of bravura as Flames is, it's easy to fling the arms past their proper position. He never does. His hit the "concrete wall" dictated by the rules of ballet and BAM... perfection. He could be the poster boy for port de bras.

@@tiffcat1100 It has a lot to do with the cultural difference. I came to the UK almost 30 years ago, I was very young. The difference was and is vast. Like there is less oxygen to breeze in. No genuine sincerety and depth of feelings. I am sure she experiences it too. English people and the ballet are less emotional, less pure, less spiritual. Lots of caricature on true ballet. It's hard to explain. But it corrupts the soul and the talent.
