- A rare 1978 video of Gelsey Kirkland and Mikhail Baryshnikov dancing excerpts from Dances at a Gathering and Other Dances. The first duet and the man's variation are from Dances at a Gathering; the woman's variation and closing duet from Other Dances. Choreography: Jerome Robbins. Music: Frédéric Chopin. Pianist: Jerry Zimmerman.
She's perfect. Every bit the athlete without dancing athletically. How she does that I'll never know. Completely dramatic and interpretative while being technically perfect. How she does that I will never know either. Completely sui generis. I don't think there was another artist this complete in the performing arts in the 20th century, period, or in the 21st.
I think she's the most talented ballerina in history. She greatly changed the course of my life.
They should have had an standing ovation lazy crowd
Only ballerina that can take my eyes off Baryshnikov
Baryshnikov is excellent and his dancing is well known. Not so well known is Gelsey Kirkland. She is easily one of the greatest dance artists of all time.
Thank you, thank you for posting! This was pure perfection. I so admire the musicality of their dancing. I was wowed by Baryshnikov when I saw him live in the early 80's. But it is Gelsey Kirkland who captivates here and in every clip I have ever seen. She was/is unparalleled.
Went to NYC Ballet many years ago and sat there enjoying it fine until she came on stage and elevated the dancing to the sublime. I sat there all night just wanting her to come back! I was transported.
The way she phrases music /choreography , She make the very most out of every note. Its like she bending space and time ..
How does she move like that? It is unreal. The greatest ballerina of all time.
Hundreds of videos of Gelsey Kirkland are not enough...and when she danced with Barishnikov it is a treat to see. She is the ballerina of her time.
Gelsey Kirkland, la seule qui peut vous faire oublier que Baryshnikov danse à côté d'elle ! heureusement de temps il danse tout seul, et c'est trop beau aussi .....
I was lucky enough to have been in class with them…. I adore her❤my favorite ballerina of all time!!!
Kirkland.... what wonderful arms!
Чудесны оба, но Гелси невероятна!!! Звезда!
Кружевной, ажурный, воздушный танец с наилегчайшими поддержками.
I saw them perform this ballet when lived in NYC in the '70s. Gelsey Kirkland was phenomenal! Of course Baryshnikov is always excellent but Gelsey had the more interesting choreography in this ballet and no none could have danced this better!! I was mesmerized watching her! She was flawless!! The music by Chopin is so lovely too!! It was a treat to have seen this!!
One of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. Two miracles of nature..
my cousin is jerry zimmerman♥️ never got to meet him but love hearing him may he rip♥️
out of this world she is the BEST
Really a masterpiece from every of them. From Kirkland, from Baryshnikov, from Chopin and from Robbins.
