Wow. Extraordinary. Truly the only dying swan that's moved me yet. This solo is so hard to do well. It often just looks corny or melodramatic -- and it's so hard to get those 'wings' right.-- but her arms are liquid. And she totally inhabits the part. Exquisite.
@@Fashionasmr You couldn't be more right, Maya is absolutely the ultimate swan. Had the privilege to see her in '88 at Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, a rare sight to behold. I don't think I'll ever see another one in my lifetime.
I've seen many performances of Dying Swan. No one comes close to Zakharova. She looks like she's gliding on ice or suspended mid-air while other ballerinas hobble and shuffle their way around the stage. I love the way she takes her time. Ethereal, vulnerable, poetic, and soulful.
@@alsusha6051 My friend, I'm ballerina also. And I'm agree fully with you. Ulyana Lopatkina is the Queen of Russia/ The Planet/The Universe? Who knows? I have the honour of know her and she's my inspiration. She is the Swan for excellence. I love Maya Plisetskaya, but with all my respects, Ulyana Lopatkina is the best, the Queen of Ballet. To watch her dancing is to travel to another world. ❤️🌹 Greetings. ❤️🌹
I truly believed that I was watching a dying swan. I’ve never seen this dance captured so well. So moving that it brought me to tears. Beautiful, Svetlana.
No. No. No. Neither. Mme P was the Sarah Bernhardt of ballet. Mme Z is lovely, yes. Both interpretations have become cliched compared to several of today’s dancers. IMHO.
Her bone structure: longer than normal arms and legs. The starved look of her health, yet strong enough to lift and hold her own weight…. It all really delivers for this masterful performance. She’s exquisite here.
It’s incredibly sad that this scene is now being removed from every ballet and they’re always making a happy ending... seriously, for the past seven years I've visited four russian Swan Lake perfomances and none of them ended like the original😣 I'm upset to the core 'cause in my opinion this is the most amazingly beautiful and important scene....
I'm not surprised you have not seen this performed when watching Swan Lake performed by Russian ballet as it is not from swan lake but from Saint saens ' carnival of the animals '.
The Dying Swan is not from Swan Lake, the two are actually separate ballets. Dying Swan is a solo ballet that was choreographed specifically for Anna Pavlova, with music from Saint-Saens' carnival of the animals
As a student of culture, and the arts, this piece is an absolute art, nobody can do this quite like the beautiful ballerina here, she expressed forlornness, beauty, pain and grace through this wonderful ballet segment of Swan Lake, simply beautiful and majestic, no this is classic art through the art of ballet. The movement is perfect.
You call yourself "a student of culture and the arts" and has the audacity of saying that The Dying Swan is part of the Swan Lake ballet? Inform yourself more and study harder so in the future you are not called out for something so horrendous to say. And although Svetlana does a superb job in this piece, none can forget the absolute prima ballerina Maya Plisetskaya performing the piece. Every ballerina brings something to any ballet they dance so it becomes a matter of taste according to what we want to see.
Gosh she is MARVELOUS! I'm so glad I'm able to witness this legend in my time! Her an I are the same age, and I cannot imagine having her energy. She's supernatural!
Absolutely breathtaking!!! This was my daughter’s wedding song. Just a beautiful classical piece to walk down the aisle. This ballet solo is completely mesmerizing to watch! However, Svetlana encompasses this piece perfectly… like an elegant, beautiful swan. 🦢
My ballet teacher, in the 1960's, had studied and danced alongside Pavlova at the Imperial Ballet School and saw her dance this piece when it was first performed. She crafted wonderful little ballets on we her students, many years later, and I also credit her as my first music teacher for all she taught me about listening and developing a deeper understanding of the score.
Feb, 2023. UK.England. That Lady’s arms and hands were liquid, the movement was exquisite to say the least. From someone who is not into ballet. Thank you very much. JR/UK
the mouvements of her body are absolutly the fost Beautiful and indicated for this performance ! a huge congratulation ! it ras heartbreaking but a soft and peaceful one
Wow absolute wow. I’ve never watched such a beautiful performance art of any kind that made me as emotional as this did. I could physically feel my heart hurting at the end :,). She’s one of a kind
Honestly, I know nothing about ballet, I’ve never done it, never even tried it, but this is GORGEOUS. Her facial expressions were so emotional it was like she really was that dying swan trying so hard to fly one last time. And her arms were like the most graceful balloon man I’ve ever seen XD but seriously, so gorgeous and graceful!
Beauty, grace, skill, the great art and result of work over time, but entirely lovely, and a tribute to this form of art , itself miraculous in culture.
Удивительно! Только сегодня посмотрела Волоцкову, Плисецкую, Уланову, Павлову и Захарову в этом танце! Никто Павлову не превзошёл, хотя это был далёкий 1907,14 год! У Захаровой и Волочковой вымуштрованное тело, особенно у Светланы - железные мышцы. А Анна Павлова осталась нежной женщиной в слабости, как будто и не тренеровалась. У современных это класс! танец. А у Улановой и особенно у Павловой клёкот необыкновенно нежной и хрупкой жизни! Трогает сердце. Дают толчок заботиться о нашей короткой жизни, о наших ближних, любить Создателя и всё Его Творенье! Да возлюбим этот Божий мир, и всё, что в нём!
I'm speechless, she's just awesome, gorgeous and all. In ballet's world, there are the Russians and the rest of the planet, imho. They are very good too, but this is just another level. 🙏😍
Svetlana Zakharova is not Russian. She is Ukrainian, born in Ukraine, studied in Ukraine until she went to Vaganova, Ukrainian blood. She is Ukrainian.
@@anastasialenkova-molchalin5874 All right. Although I don't care if she's Ukrainian or Russian. Of course, I know that these two nations are not the same, but still they are brothers, that cannot be denied. However , Zakharova learned to dance in Russia. Peace. 🤞
@Granger OOI Please don't be so nice, you make me feel bad for correcting you 😊. I wish Russia and Ukraine could be, but, alas, no longer. Putin has taken care of that 😔. Yes, Zakharova did go to Vaganova for some time, but she started ballet in Ukraine and went to the Kyiv Choreographic Academy. You are correct though, she studied in Russia.
Что-то божественное в этой красоте... "В ней всё прекрасно. Тонких линий руки от лебединой шеи и крыла несут любовь и нежность через муки безвременно упавшего пера" (В. Север)
Сколько труда вложено в эту композицию это просто чудо божественное тело гипко стройно ну разве не прелесть маленькие хрупкии ручки очаровательны и прелестны ножки прекрасны это не лебедь а сапфир брильянтовый.

Then you should see the one and only Maya Plisetskaia. Soul!
Yes, Irene s. Baryshnikov picked out for her extraordinary arms and hands.
zapomněli jsme žít.. zapomněli umírat.. proto nám život krása umění připomíná... krása je laskavost obrazu bytí....

Have you seen Uliana Lopatkina? I think no one managed to perform this dance better than her. Even Plisetskaya.
Do you know PLISETSKAYA?!

@@atsugadri the best: Maya Plisetskaia 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
no need to bring down other ballerinas...
Her arms are insane! Never seen anyone look like they actually have wings and look so effortlessly and smooth... I’m amazed!!
Посмотрите исполнение Ульяны Лопаткиной, непревзойденно!
I truly believed that I was watching a dying swan. I’ve never seen this dance captured so well. So moving that it brought me to tears. Beautiful, Svetlana.
Qué bello es el arte del ballet!!! 🤩😍❤️
Truly the most passionate, exquisite and realistic dying swan ever to date. No one has EVER come close to her. Bravissimo!
Absolutely mesmerizing! You have to watch it several times in a row to appreciate her unique grace! God given talent!
I've seen dozens of Swan Lakes over the years. But this Dying Swan is the epitome of breath taking. She makes me weep.
Agreed but this isn't from that and I don't think the Dying Swan suits her. Plisetskaya is truly the best IMO.
No. No. No. Neither. Mme P was the Sarah Bernhardt of ballet. Mme Z is lovely, yes. Both interpretations have become cliched compared to several of today’s dancers. IMHO.
Yes, me dart, for me also the best Odette.
Это не Одетта!
@@angstBali I agree, although I also find Lopatkina splendid as the dying swan

The way she flutters her arms is simply extraordinary
She's so graceful, flexible and beautiful when she dances. Long arms that seem to be fluid. Just a joy to watch.
This performance made me cry.
This beings actual tears to my eyes by the very last moment her arms make at the end. Breathtaking.
Gosh she is MARVELOUS! I'm so glad I'm able to witness this legend in my time! Her an I are the same age, and I cannot imagine having her energy. She's supernatural!
I love how she stays in character as the beautiful, dying swan for the curtain call.

Brings tears to my eyes...the music is the perfect canvas for her to paint
Grace and elegance personified. She can probably walk on water.

Me too I'm sitting here blubbering like a baby
This has to be the best performance I’ve seen of “The dying swan”
Then you must have missed Uliana Lopatkina.

most graceful and beautiful dying swan i've ever seen!! love it!
Wow absolute wow. I’ve never watched such a beautiful performance art of any kind that made me as emotional as this did. I could physically feel my heart hurting at the end :,). She’s one of a kind
La fibrillazione sulle punte e la fluente fluttuazione delle braccia e delle mani è mirabile .Bighin GIULIO
This is the only dying swan performance which brought tears to my eyes.

It doesn’t get any better than this! Bravissima!
She is amazing. Simply the best ever.
A true angel! Noble grâce. Perfection

This performance is beyond words.
Que falta nos hace en estos momentos esta belleza y armonia que nos llegan al alma. 💕
Could watch these all day. Exquisite sadness.
The movement of her arms is so fluid!
genuinely my top favorite ballet variation!! its so dramatic and beautiful without complex turns or jetés. simple but absolutely gorgeous ❤️
Wow
That was relaxing and mesmerizing. She is in total control at all times of every part of her body and moves it with emotion
My tears are dropping mrs Svetlana...
Brought me to tears. Just incredible
God gives great gifts sparingly but didn't miss Zakharova. I'm so glad he gives sparingly then we as mortals can appreciate and relish greatness.
I am so moved by this performance of the dying swan. Beautiful Svetlana
Смотрела и не дышала!!! Браво, браво!!!
Just wonderful

Just beautiful
She is poetry in motion. She is the BEST ❤
I've seen various dying swans but I can clearly say her performance is exceptionally beautiful one.
Svetlana is astoundingly beautiful here...

I'm so sad for the swan. The thought of knowing she will spring back after her soul is lifted to fly again makes me happy.
Wonderful is the only word I can find to describe her performance I'm so moved
She's one of my favorite with Natalia Osipova great dancers
