Hey everyone! I had to cut some of the videos short due to copyright and it being flagged sadly. The Viennese waltz in particular I could only show 10 seconds, so sad. Anyway, I will pop the videos in the description so you can watch the whole thing of those! ❤
All I know is, I've noticed every single time an example of your content pops into my feed - any of it - I discover that my life has been a little bit improved, after consuming it. That's all. This was very enjoyable and interesting. Thank you.
Thank you Isabella! I love, love, love all the information you provide with your videos. I saw a recent video from Dance lens explaining how one can determine “when” the ballet was created by the ‘costume’ - very interesting. I also really enjoy all the intelligent and informed comments here. Again, many thanks. Appreciate you and all you do. Gratefully …. ❤😊
Hi, Isabella! Thank you so much for another great video! Still watching, but I paused to leave a comment. Not a ballerina here, I am an amateur musician and lover of anything Russian. Just wanted to tell you that yes, you're right: Jacopo Tissi is indeed Italian. He graduated at La Scala Academy, then worked at the Bolshoj. He left and if I'm not mistaken, he is a guest artist with La Scala Theatre
Jacopo Tissi is at Dutch national ballet now. I remember watching a rehearsal of him with Olga Smirnova on giselle on the youtube channel of Dutch national ballet a while ago.
Thank you for this New Year treat, Isabella. I absolutely love Ekaterina Osmolkina and she is amazing here with Lobukhin also dazzling. I’ve never seen this piece and it’s such a charming pdd.
The Talisman music is incredible, thank you for sharing this pas de duex. One of the most hauntingly beautiful pas de duex I have seen is This Bitter Earth by Christoper Wheeldon, Tiler Peck and Tyler Angle dance it with such abandon and such incredible connection.
Ah I LOVE the Viennese walz!! Have watched it several times ... did not know who the dancers were, love the info thanks! I love Tchaikovsky PDD - especially if you can find Suzanne Farrell dancing it. Osipova and Vasiliev were a joy to watch together in anything. And there is one called Spring Waters which looks somewhat suicidal! Old video with Bylova is amazing
Isabella, sorry for the delayed response, but I’m from across the pond as they say. Anyway, for some reason on your TH-cam channel the Viennese Waltz pas was cut short so I wasn't able to watch. Have you seen this too? I absolutely LOVE your descriptions and irreplaceable memoirs of your time in Russia. These excerpts nearly made me cry. So lovely. 🥲❤️
Thanks! I had to go directly to your TH-cam channel to get the Description section (doesn’t appear when viewed only via Instagram) but then I found the link and was able to watch it. Totally amazing. Maybe the best of them all. I love LOVE those turning lifts!! What is the proper technical term for these? So effortless, so artful, just amazing. What a gift to have had that man as an instructor. 🥰💕
For me, the most memorable pas de deux I watched in 2024 is the Tchaikovsky pas de deux, Grand pas Classique, Le Corsaire pas d’esclave and don quixote wedding pas de deux, all of them I watched on 25 October 2024, performed by Hong Kong ballet at a theatre. Do you have any memorable pas de deux you watched in 2024?
The composer for Spartacus is, I think, pronounced 'katcha-churian'. Very likely that's incorrect and influenced by the Australian accents of my teachers😆
You're watching a commentary on performances, but want to complain about commentary?....Are you actually basic? She is doing a really thorough and engaging job of providing a professional performer and instructor's, play-by-play perspective of various pieces. How many people are making this kind of an introduction to the art, so accessible - and importantly, obviously making the effort to make the subject as interesting and palatable to the elite, as to people who have no clue, but are fascinated and want to learn? This is exactly the kind of generosity that opens eyes and hearts, and brings people into what can be a very insular environment - thereby growing audience and preserving an art form. Constructive criticism is one thing, but all you've offered is your nonsensical yap. It doesn't even qualify as trolling, even trolls take the trouble to be consistent with the subject. Give your potato head a rattle, you slapped backside.
Hello Isabella. I am so enjoying this video, so thank you for that. It will probably surprise you, but my name is Khachadourian, which I'm lead to believe is the French spelling! Aram Katchaturian was my father in laws cousin and so I can help you with the pronunciation!!!! You did really well - I've heard some shockers! - but simply put, it is 'catch a turban' phonetically speaking. Hope this helps and keep making the videos x

Thank you.
Wow, thank you! ❤❤❤
Thanks. Talisman is my favorite. Osmolkina and Lobukhin are the best. Choreography is by Петр Гусев, a famous Soviet choreographer.
Thank You for another EXCELLENT video with Wonderful and Insightful Commentary ! 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
You are so welcome ❤❤

Lovely way to find out a bit more about the background of not so well known ballets ❤
Glad you enjoyed!❤❤
Did you enjoy?
Hey your site is broken 😭just blank page???
It’s working as normal ❤
Vladimir Shklyarov is tragically deceased. Please put the names in English on the screen.
I know it’s so so sad 🤍🤍
bullshiy, we do not need all these explanations
This is an analysis video - you can watch on your own with the links in bio afterwards - thanks ❤
Yes, too much talk. Hard to pay attention to the dancing. Had to stop watching.

You spoiled it with too much talk.
I’ll pop the pas de deuxs in the description and you can watch them on your own. Have a nice day 😊
But you don’t need to watch this video if you don’t want to get spoiled

I think you may have misunderstood the reason for this video.
I‘m glad she commented, because the info was very interesting for me.
