Re: Tchaikovsky-Pletnev The Nutcracker "Gran Pas de deux"

Music can be...

[@shuichiLUVR314]

i am in tears...the pas de deux has been my favorite piece of music since i was a little girl. they did a beautiful job and their choreography and grace made the music even more beautiful which i didn't even think was possible. Simply WONDERFUL

[@hayoon__he]

hi are you in the life

[@mauriciovercesi5476]

Fantastic I cried again

[@CalebAchsah]

@@mauriciovercesi5476 - me too, can't stop!

[@gloria7876]

Tchaikovsky is my favorite composer. He sure could write for an orchestra.

[@lilronnyg5724]

I'm a ballerina not a figure skater but this just brought me to tears and admiration.

[@vanessagutierrez3582]

LIL RONNY G it did to me as well. Very powerful performance!

[@stephaniestanley8041]

It is the greatest performance EVER on ice.

[@Kimberlytheresam]

The muisic is fantastic

[@debussy843]

They sucked. Also, skaters should be banned from using this piece as it's impossible for judges to remain objective due to the beauty of the piece. Using this piece is not fair to other skaters.

[@MrMrbokchoi]

@@debussy843 Sasha Cohen skated to this and even with her ballerina like grace, her choreography and program wasn't as good as this.

[@genesisshuler7288]

No words....can describe how I feel right now...T.T OMG! Ballet mixed with Figure Skating...I'm not gonna cry...dammit I'm crying!!!

[@akiofernando7594]

Figure skating is a ballet on ice😑😑

[@jagodowababeczka]

me too

[@stephaniestanley8041]

Absolute emotion

[@gothicagypsy9116]

Lol!!Just Feeling the same Way🤩😊😢😌

[@koonwong100]

The video quality is regretfully not very good, but the performance is UNMATCHED and BRILLIANT!!!

[@felmargego2534]

Well, this video was film way back in the 2000s...

[@m3rrys0ngstr3ss]

They absolutely transformed once the music began - if ever the Sugar Plum Fairy and her Cavalier existed on Earth, they did in that moment.

[@lornashipmanwhite5710]

A stunning performance to beautiful music.

[@alalalaalalala11]

omg why did i cry

[@Jkeener94]

AMazing, it would be even better without the commentary.

[@thomasjoshua5896]

I AGREE.

[@felmargego2534]

This is a skating competition. There's bound to be commentary just like every other sport.

[@tsukarikaoru]

@@felmargego2534 it's almost like other sports don't have music being an essential part of the performance

[@thesilvershining]

When in doubt, always skate to Tchaikovsky. Always inspiring

[@jphinojosacorral]

I've always thought this song was made for an ice skating routine much more than a ballet one, its was more suitable!

[@sarahgiadelcampo7712]

+JaviNLN I agree. I've seen this performance so many times that now I expect to see the male dance partner throw the ballerina across the stage so she can stick that landing! :-)

[@anthonela1]

Totally agree!

[@hillerychan9483]

I really like both ❤️

[@reflexiona7583]

Yeah, right. Tchaikovsky created this music for a ballet named the nutcracker, my friend. There'no such thing more suitable for ballet than music written for ballet. Period.

[@joaovictor_of]

@@reflexiona7583 You must be fun at parties.

[@jimmyedwards1942]

Watching this again after so many years, I was still amazed by their performance. Thank Shen & Zhao for giving us so many memorable moments!

[@andreahunter6052]

the synchrony of ballet and figure skating here is perfection

[@katherinec2759]

Their ending pose was a nice nod to the ballet.

[@princepeterwolf]

This is my favorite ice skating performance of all time

[@parabody09]

But what have I done with my life, that Pas de deux....

[@Splucked]

Stunning. One of the most breathtakingly beautiful pairs performances I have seen in 55 yrs of watching figure skating. The synergy is incredible.

[@komsyra]

It was really a space ride ..... and that music!!!

[@askewniverse2411]

I wish I had a better version of this video. It's so amazing I cried

[@arwaelhendy4662]

After 15 years, it's just more than incredible ❤❤❤ I can't find words to describe this masterpiece

[@sarahgiadelcampo7712]

Oh my gosh! How long I've been waiting to get this performance on tape! It almost seems as if Shen, Zhao and Tchaikovsky collaborated to give us the most beautiful rendering of this masterwork possible on ice! I almost forget that it was originally a ballet as I watch these two athletes. Thank you! Thank you! Encore and Bravo! :-)

[@lovetoplayharp]

Stunning. Even 14 years later.

[@gurlgenius11]

I love the look of triumph and greatness on their faces at the end.

[@alan1963]

I get too emotionally on Tchaikovsky's music, including "Pas de Deux" from The Nutcracker. That's the way I feel.

[@estejaramar64]

Angels from heaven came to earth to dance the NC pas de deux ..on ice?? OMG.. Heavenly

[@merryoldgrinkh9020]

this is legendary!!!!!

[@Kimberlytheresam]

This music from the nutcracker is unbelievably beautiful.

[@sergiomaldonado6250]

A paradise of mathematical and poetic movement , drawing dazzling Tchaikovsky music .

[@stockholmbynight]

This is perfect in every single way, I'm speechless

[@Kimberlytheresam]

You cant go wrong with one of the most beautiful songs ever written!!!

[@Pureimagination200]

Beautiful

[@bangelus0]

Es realmente hermoso, tanta sincronía entre ellos y la misma música es impresionante. El blablá de los comentaristas estaba de sobra, una molestia, pero fuera de eso, simplemente bello.

[@dwightschrute8228]

I was watching the Nutcracker and suddenly realised that the pas deux is also perfect for figure skating. I wrote it to youtube and yes I was right. Now my eyes are blessed with this pure perfection. I'm tottally speecless. THANK YOU!!!

[@danalilys]

this was so beautiful… brought tears to my eyes.

[@sheiladesoysa7112]

Brilliant performance set to the most beautiful music ever written.

Talk about spectacular! If I type all the adjectives I want to I'll run out of room and superlatives...but glorious, emotional, splendid!! I cried halfway through and laughed with pure joy at the end!

Made my eyes water. Tchaikovsky's music, especially the Grand Pas De Deux from the Nutcracker was a brilliant choice. And I agree with a previous comment, please stop commentating and let us just enjoy the skating. Thanks for posting.

Cried once again 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Simple y llanamente bellisimo!!!!!!!! Adoro el patinaje artistico. Quizas lo hubiera disfrutado mas sin los comentarios tecnicos durante la ejecucion, pero igual fue hermoso en su momento. Algo para no olvidar.

This is beyond gorgeous. Thank you so so much for posting this!!

[@lesliejoanpalzachamorro521]

Soy bailarina de ballet y no patino sobre hielo. Pero realmente esta danza me ha sacado lagrimas! Es muy bella, realmente es inspiradora! Es incluso mejor que la coreografia en ballet!

[@angiaguirre3581]

Leslie Joan Palza Chamorro No estoy de acuerdo contigo, también bailó, y he visto la coreografía de clásico, esa me ha sacado lágrimas, ve a Kochetkova o a Nureyev y verás si no te sacan lágrimas, lo que hacen los patinadores es increíble, pero para mí, no supera al ballet, además son cosas distintas.

[@anthonela1]

Concordo com suas palavras, melhor do que no ballet propriamente. Lindo no gelo. Concordo! saudações do Brasil

[@victoriaabrildeluca3525]

Es algo muy hermoso lo que hicieron. Yo también hago ballet pero prefiero me gusta mas está música con la danza clásica, este pas de deux me ha hecho erizar mis cabellos con la música,y las expresiones de las bailarinas,algo que el patin no logro en mi.

[@reflexiona7583]

De veras eres bailarina? Esta rutina de patinaje es muy hermosa, pero si realmente eres bailarina debes haber visto a Nureyev y Park bailar esto. Es para morirse de la emoción y llorar a cántaros.
