Sylvie is unbelievable in this piece and I am grateful to the person who shot it despite the dubious quality of the footage. This is a virtuosic pas de deux, and Sylvie does not disappoint. She has it all: grace, flexibility, balance and bravura. She is the most exciting ballerina I have ever seen!!!!
Elle est à nulle autre comparable, elle va marquer son siècle. Son incroyable capacité physique et sa maîtrise parfaite de son corps. Ah Mademoiselle Non quels plaisirs vous nous avez donnés. Vous êtes une grande étoile!
What I love more than her extensions or her technique or her feet is Guillem's supreme confidence. She owns her dancing fully. She could fall and lose her balance but she'd still be the bomb and she knows it.
This choreography is so difficult and Sylvie sets the standard . She is the best classical ballet dancer of the last 100yrs.. T the stars were allianed when she was born !!
Grande impressione di facilità nell'esecuzione dei tourbillon di giravolte da capogiro da parte della ballerina.Trasmissione di gioiosita' e facilità esecutiva da parte del ballerina.Molto BRAVI.BIGHIN GIULIO RENZO
I agree with you 100%. I saw a rehearsal of "Don Quixote" pas de deux recently and she had some trouble with the "style." I am glad she has gone on to explore more contemporary choreography. I don't think she is a dancer who is just satisfied with the classical repertoire. Nowadays everyone hoists their foot up to their ears. LOL.
diese version mit sylvie ist wirklich unglaublich. sie ist tatsächlich eine der größten ballerinen die es jemals gab. hat sie eigentlich auch mal den sterbenden schwan getanzt? ich freu mich jedenfalls immer wieder sie live erleben zu dürfen
@Fadyocean I think you're right to a certain extent, but I think Guillem's decisions can be justified for this particular ballet, because it is simply a gala piece, and there is no character or storyline to put much emotion into. Desolee, je sais comment lire le francais, mais je ne l'ecris pas bien.
She is wonderful but the quality of the video, costumes do not give her, them much credit. There is a wonderful one, with her and Manuel Legris, 9 min. So clear, elegant, classy, with close ups.
@Fadyocean quel pisse froid vous faites ! sylvie est une danseuse pas comme les autres dans tous les sens du terme, le jour où on aura compris ça, on arrêtera de de vouloir la formater et la faire rentrer dans un moule.....d'une certaine façon, elle a révolutionné les codes de la danse classique et tant mieux ! BRAVO SYLVIE
i think it must have been difficult for her NOT to get to leg up to her ear, as people expected it from her. No matter what role she danced everyone wanted her legs all over the place. I love her extensions but I once saw her as Juliet and the legs took away the young girl she portrayed when they started reaching the high 170 something degrees... There is a time and a place for everything, I wish the audience would remember that too when they watch her. :)
It`s true, and not only the legs... the only role in which I found Silvie awfull was Juliet: no inocence at all, no first love, it was more like watching Black Swan dancing Prokovief music... Having said that I consider her unique, still there`s no one like her, she was just perfect and not only legs and balances but style and strenght... and I had the chance to see her dance lots of roles during a whole year even watching her in class and rehearsals...She will alwas be the best ballerina ever
A little underwhelmed by Cope. Some of those ultra-high developpes really contort the tutu ridiculously. Save them for a more appropriate costume. Sweet balances tho. LOL.
I cannot stop watching this pas de deax. It's divine. Never to be repeated.
i couldn't stop watching Syllvie dancing, i really wish someday i can see her live performance. she is the best Ballerina i've ever seen.

They compliment each other throughout this grand pas. They dancing as one.
This pas de deux was made for her... nobody can make it better than this...her large legs

They compliment each other perfectly.

the stars were allianed when she was born !!
the greatest of all...no one can match with her
the lines she creates in her beginning pose are absolutely stunning!!!
la plus grande, inégalable et hors du commun des étoiles the greatest of all
I love the silhouette she creates at the very beginning!
She's more than perfect!
Thank you for posting this video!
Божественная Сильвия! Виват!
1:25... wow. They are both just amazing. I want to marry Jonathan Cope.
Slyvie is very very Lovely but so is Zahkarova she is the guillem of this this decade!

Still the greatest.

Jonathan Cope is also super...

Magnífica Guillem...
How wonderful!!!
In the lighting she looks so ethereal...
was this done in 2009? if so, she was 44 then. WOW. And he is perfect. Supporting her but never making her wobble and matching her movements exactly
she is just a star....
Amazing~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
I have to admit that she must be the best one to performe Nureyev's choreography in POB~

Yup. She just performed in NYC.
her feet and ease of her extension always wow me!
She is 46. (Paris feb. 1965)
Which company does she dance with?
This pas de deax makes me weep.
precisement!
She is wonderful but the quality of the video, costumes do not give her, them much credit.
There is a wonderful
one, with her and Manuel Legris, 9 min. So clear, elegant, classy, with close ups.
Is Sylvie still dancing?
Guillem domine la situation ! Jonathan Cope essaye de suivre tant bien que mal ....
and the pirouette at the second ???????
I wonder if she had only Cope as a partner in London. They were anyway a good match.
bozanstveno, bravo silvi*

When was it ?
@MrTokyoballet EH EH! This was shot in Italy, Ravenna precisely

Errata corrige del ballerino
I wonder how he got it together? The young man is particularly studious and weak.
Don't compare her. It's cruel and unusual.
bavo, silvi*
The video is awful.
