Pierre Lacotte 2023 Tribute with Maximova, Nureyev, Novikova, Osipova, Obraztsova, Ganio and more!

[@l.alexandra5871]

Maximova - what a magnificent force of nature. Just a sheer joy to watch - always. And Osipova is the greatest ballerina of the twenty-first century

[@gonefishing167]

Agree 👵🇦🇺

[@classicalaid1]

I adore the marvelous work of Pierre Lacotte, particularly The Pharaoh's Daughter, a favorite ballet of mine. I own the DVD version with Zakarova and Filin. Within the DVD there is a wonderful series of interviews with Lacotte and the principal dancers. Most insightful. Perhaps you can obtain a copy of the DVD and share with the world the interviews. They are so insightful as well as historic.

[@nicolereding7234]

I saw his last ballet in opera de Paris with Dorothy Gilbert and Marchand superb.i love what he did with Paquita qn Pharaoh’s daughter, not ridiculous but with a great French elegance and stunning choreographies like Marco Spada.😢😮❤

[@isabelaandzico]

Omg I can’t believe you included Markitenka - one of my first bigger roles in Moscow when I was so young. I was given the opportunity because I can and LOVE to jump. Such an honor! Спасибо большое 🇧🇷🇵🇹🇺🇦🇷🇺🇷🇴🇱🇻🩰

[@pedrogarciarias129]

Novikova and Osipova, amazing dancers forever🥰❤❤🌹🌹

[@isabelaandzico]

Obraztsova is the Maximova of our generation. They both have a delicate air, playfulness and beautiful technique but most importantly that je ne sais quoi that elevates both to the forefront of their eras. Брава!🩰👏🏻

[@cynthiafletcher9845]

I definitely agree!! Both are charming, precise and beautiful dancers. 💖💖

[@horiaganescu3948]

We will always remember him definitely 🙏 😊 ❤ the stellar dancer and choreographer 'Pierre Lacotte'. I particularly love ❤️ his 'La Sylphide' danced by Aurélie Dupont and Mathieu Ganio. Thank you very much indeed 😊 ❤ to @TheBunduBallerina for this lovely and special video.

[@dancingbluecrane2813]

What a wonderful tribute to a truly great GENIUS of choreography who has also enriched ballet repetoire magnificently! His reconstructions and his choreography will go down in history as classics, for example, his masterpiece The Pharaoh's Daughter. Thank you BunduBallerina for this fascinating compilation of extracts. It is evident from them that he expected much from his dancers in terms of mastery of difficult technique!

[@TheBunduBallerina]

Thank you for your lovely comment.

[@markbeck8384]

I have seen all of these except for the Milkmaid, the Red & the Black, and the Papillon ones. It is lovely to see these old ballets kept alive. I am grateful for the work of Pierre Lacotte; he honored the style of these works while keeping up a good amount of fireworks and spectacle for the modern audience. I think Pharoah's Daughter and Marco Spada were especially successful; but I also liked the La Source solo for Franz in Coppelia. Paquita, Ondine, La Vivandiere, and the Schneitzhoeffer Sylphide were also well worth while. This stuff is the history of ballet; but it is also nice to expand the classic repertoire beyond just the familiar gems you always see. I'd like to see Stone Flower, Talisman, Awakening of Flora, Prince of the Pagodas, The Seasons, Sylvia, La Source, done more often.

[@classicalaid1]

Thank you for ending this glorious Lacotte compilation with The Pharaoh's Daughter...for me....one of his strongest and most compelling works.

[@TheBunduBallerina]

Thank you too for your comment!

[@santi7616]

thank you very much

[@TheBunduBallerina]

You're welcome. Thanks for commenting.

[@felicity1877]

As a lover of romantic ballet, I'm so thankful for Pierre Lacotte reconstructing these gems of ballet - especially La Fille du Pharaon (it had been the most popular ballet in Russia in the late 19th century). I just wish that there would be a full recording for Le Papillon; the pas de deux with Offenbach's music is so beautiful and I wish there would be a full version. I've also read that Lacotte reconstruct other ballets, such like La Fille du Danube, but I don't find anything as footage...)

[@timponnareay6634]

His La sylphide will always and remain be a Legend to me. He had choreographed some previous ballet including revive some of the old ballet, which some is still in the repertoire today. A great loss of the ballet world!

[@susannevollmer2347]

His gorgeous Papillon! (Thibault/Desneaou) Alsi Thesmar in the first act of his Sylphide!!

MERVEILEUX.

Grea5 pleasure and memory of Vikharev😢😮

[@elizzy8754]

Thank you so much for this truly divine compilation. How come I don't know the ballerina Pankova? She dances with such delicacy and vivaciousness I could watch her over and over again!

Pierre Lacotte, quanti ricordi. Marco Spada a Roma, e gia' si parlava della ricostruzione del Corsaro! Grazie per questo video

[@TheBunduBallerina]

Absolutely yes! Thank you for your wonderful comment.

[@conchirubio8971]

Thank you very mucho for this tribute very well deserved for this great choreographer, intelligent, ingenious, creative, elegant and sensitive gentleman. Just an appreciation I would have liked to see Eugenia Obratsova in Marco Espada, she is better, Smirnova or Zakharova in Pharaoh's daughter. Anyway, thank you very much for the compilation, it's fantastic 😍👋👋👋💖

My goodness where would the paris opera have been today. Without Nureyev.

[@nicolereding7234]

I like very much Mathieu Ganio as Frantz😮😮😮😮

[@natashavanova1157]

Thank you very much for your work, thanks to which we can enjoy the talent of the best (Nuriyev does not count, he's pathetic here) and discover new names - for me today this is Pankova and Hurel

[@TheBunduBallerina]

Thank you for your wonderful comment.

[@ЕваХаритонова-ц6л]

I think Pankova is the best in Lacotte choreo!

[@nicolereding7234]

Last year i had the chance to see his last ballet “ le rouge et le noir” with D. gilbert and H Marchand.Gilbert was a breathtaking Madame de Renal and the choreography was outstanding.😢😊H Marchand was also technically stunning but a little too good looking for the character of Julien Sorel🎉😮💥💯🎶

[@perlesbaroquesuniques]

It's a pity David Hallberg in Marco Spada is not included, here is sensational.

[@raymonda5476]

Igor Tsvirko was better!

[@delphinec9307]

Thank you so much for this vivid tribute. The "Pas de deux des écossais" (scottish pas de deux) in la Sylphide is also one of my favorite dance piece. Young Ganio remains wonderfull. "Old" Nureyev vas awful but the historic testimony of his dedication and burning passion for the stage is precious, and he had such a strong relation with Lacotte.... I waited for a long time a new ballet for Paris opera, and it was ... Le Rouge et le Noir (a book I love). So disappointing (except some short variations like the one you picked, a beautiful pas de deux...), such a beautiful stage and costumes for a too long, too heavy and globaly poor choregraphy (confirmed by all these marvellous ballets you show here). I hoped that he could fine tuned it but alas, no... But was a mastering of technique, grace, musicality and spirit of classical ballet... Thank you Mr Lacotte.

[@TheBunduBallerina]

Thank you for your gracious comment.

[@elenaahumada9842]

Osipova ....MAGISTRAL.....👋🇨🇱

[@susannevollmer2347]

Did Pankova - the marvelous Vivandiere - belong to the principals at the bolshoi?

[@Pearlaceous]

Pankova was dancing in St Petersburg then, with the Kirov.

[@roccodepalma9734]

Provate ad immaginare Vasiliev in questo ruolo.

[@ПетрИванов-о7п]

Так так, а что у вас ещё в заначке с Осиповой имеется?

[@Sohmet]

Справедливости ради, во время постановки в Риме Спады (82г) Нуриев был уже сильно и очевидно болен. Я не сторонник превозмогания на сцене. Понятно что его роль это яркое имя на плакате и удовлетворение умирающим человека своих амбиций и желаний. Плохо это или хорошо каждый решает сам. Но то как он танцует в Спаде не показатель того, как он танцевал находясь в хорошей форме. Он был гораздо лучше. Просто обидно когда по неудачной работе оценивают всю работу артиста

[@l.alexandra5871]

It’s a pity that this is not the great and amazing Nureyev in his prime,…

[@СветланаОдинцова-ж1я]

Нуриев был сильно переоценён, как танцовщик и тем более, как хореограф.. не знаю, почему Парижская Опера не сделала редакции классики Лакотта вместо него..

[@z6519404]

как же я согласна с вами

[@perlesbaroquesuniques]

Нет, он был непревзойдённым в лучшие свои дни. Здесь, очевидно, был уже болен и стар, он потерял форму в последние годы жизни. Как и Плисецкая (только не надо ради "нашей" бросаться на амбразуру, защищая её).

[@СветланаОдинцова-ж1я]

@@perlesbaroquesuniques надо вовремя переставать танцевать)

[@Natalia-xo4hv]

​@@СветланаОдинцова-ж1я да, как сказал Григорович, танцевать можно в любом возрасте, смотреть это нельзя.

[@Sohmet]

Нуриев как и все танцоры хорош на пике формы. Тут уже не то пальто и плие не то и прыжок и вращение. Нельзя танцевать пока не унесут со сцены. Алисия Алонсо тому лучший пример. В 82 Нуриев был уже сильно болен

[@raymonda5476]

Who is partnering Maximova?

[@TheBunduBallerina]

I don't know.

[@raymonda5476]

@@TheBunduBallerina He looks like Stas Issaev, who was her partner in the Moscow Classical Ballet Company.

[@Серафима-ш4ш]

А где Максимова?

[@TheBunduBallerina]

Maksimova performs in the beginning as Lydia, the Swiss Milkmaid.

[@susanpaul4752]

Such a poor choice to select that video of Nureyev for this wonderful tribute to Lacotte. If it was filmed in NYC, I saw it in person and was aware that he was already very ill . He danced dreadfully, and should have known better, by then. He never did have the stunning technique of Barishnicov or other male dancers. He was the first male dancer to leave Russia, he was gorgeous , he had mystic and Fonteyn and great PR....but he was on the stage when he no longer should have been.

[@perlesbaroquesuniques]

He had a fantastic technique but here he is hardly recognizable. He deteriorated toward the end, alas.

[@dancingbluecrane2813]

I think the choice is based on the fact that Pierre Lacotte choreographed Marco Spada for Nureyev. It is historically of interest and it does, however, show that Nureyev danced on stage for too long.

[@francoisevassy6614]

No, it was filmed in Rome for RAI Uno. Too bad the compilation did not show Ghislaine Thesmar´s variation instead of Nureyev who was completely unable to dance any more.

[@tamarariga6039]

Без Нуреева "Марко Спада"не смотрелся бы никак.Он был самым смотрибельным актёром .Фантастическим!Если бы он просто ходил по сцене, его бы все равно смотрели.❤❤❤

[@НадеждаХрамова-в7ц]

​@@francoisevassy6614Не не умел, а не мог. Мало танцоров ,выступающих в таком возрасте

[@nickvin3212]

В каком году снят спектакль с Рудольфом Нуреевым?Он чуть не упал,видно же что уже в возрасте и силы не те,танцует на "жилах", грустно смотреть,неужели нет ролика с молодым Рудольфом?

[@TheBunduBallerina]

I’m not sure of the exact year of this recording of Nureyev, but it was close to the end of his life. As far as I know, there is no earlier recording of Rudolf in a Pierre Lacotte ballet.

[@vvoovvaa]

Why did you include Nureev? It was painful to watch.

[@TheBunduBallerina]

Thanks for your interest. I included Nureyev for the historical reference even though I am aware that he was no longer dancing well, as he was ill.

[@rosarioanaya9747]

Mucha técnica, sin alma

[@susanpaul4752]

Nureyev's feet are floppy and sloppy and no other dancer male or female would ever have gotten away with his messy dancing, rushed landings, awkward arabesques, imperfect turns and jumps.

[@susannevollmer2347]

The Nereyev performance is from his very late years on stage: He couldnt stop himself!

[@perlesbaroquesuniques]

He was very ill by then; it's not Nureyev who became a legend, only the name remains here. Tragic.

[@elizzy8754]

​@@perlesbaroquesuniques Yes, this is tragically 'late' Nureyev. The head and arms are still beautiful but the rest is a pale shade of what he used to be.

[@mallorygaudion1051]

Ce n’est pas correct d’écrire cela sur Rudolf Noureev et de plus ce n’est pas une remarque intéressante.il s’agit d’abord d’une autre époque.ce qui est fascinant chez lui c’est son charisme qui reste inchangé malgré les pieds ou les sauts .il donne à voir une fougue,une passion en cela c’est beaucoup plus intéressant que des pieds tendus.

[@francoisevassy6614]

La fougue sans la technique, c’est du grand n’importe quoi : Noureev a voulu s’accrocher à la scène malgré son âge et sa vie de bâton de chaise, il a obtenu …. de devenir grotesque. Ses derniers Marco Spada à Paris étaient encore pire que ceux que j’avais vus à Rome !

[@pininfarinarossa8112]

Nourieff was many times off balance😮
