The Great Pavlova... Tragic 120 seconds of dying wounded bird, which the last effort flies, loses altitude and fighting for his elusive life... This dance has become an immortal masterpiece... The one you watch without breathing. And every time you wait and hope that the Swan will not wave its wing for the last time in the agony of death...
Anna Pavlova's house in London, in Hamstead, near the Bull and Bush pub, had a small lake with swans outside. A hunter, by error or intentionally, I don't know, shot one of these beautiful birds. Anna was watching it dying and in the same evening she imitated his movements in Covent Garden. That's what I have been told by a friend while we were walking near this house one nice May afternoon.
@@paigecook4750 she died of pleurisy caused by pneumonia. They wanted to drain the infected fluid and she might have lived but was told she would not have danced again. She refused the operation and died a few days later
I love the little bits of dance history you share! I've also noticed how different Pavlova's version is to today's version. Her's always seemed more desperate, and almost literally wrestling with death while today's version, like you said is more of Odette. It makes sense now that you've explained it!
Mikhail Fokine made this little dance on Pavlova, and I think the only one to whom he personally taught it was Tamara Toumanova. You are correct--today;s version is not like Fokine's creation.
Her arms flailing is such a beautiful move especially when you know birds are known to do the same thing when trying to fly even if they're sick or injured 😢
Why does this incredible performance impress so many of us who watch the ballet with tears of admiration? In my humble opinion, because it's perfectly represents the “Belle Epoque”... dying, like a beautiful and fragile swan that lived so short.
I recommend watching it at 0.75 speed (go to video configurations and there you can select it). Videos from those times are accelerated, if you watch it at 0.75 you'll listen to the tempo closer to what might have been, and her movements are much better appreciated.
I get chills just watching her perform . This makes us humans so different someone so talented almost not of this world! May she dance in the skies forever!
I once came to visit Anna Pavlova's museum in north london, I saw a pair of ballerina shoes and his perfume on the drawer, I never knew which fragrance she weared.
*They were born in the same year as* *that Mustafa Kemal Atatürk...* *It's so sad that she died as soon as* *her show is over...* *Rest in peace Anna Pavlova🖤🩰*
I came and found this video after asking myself why we have a dessert here in Australia named Pavlova. Apparently, we named the dessert after this woman. Knowing that, I had to come and have a look, I can see why we gave her such an honour. I have Pavlova instead of birthday cake each year, it has been a favourite of mine all my life. Find a recipe, it's easy to make, your kids, friends and family will love you much more.
i read the biography of anna pavlova on grade7 and I am in 12 now and I just suddenly remembered her which led me to watch this video. Salute to the grate ballet dancer of this whole world
I a, crying it is so beautiful. Watch her feeds, incredible!! She was one of the greatest prima ballerina ever. Don't forget she is about 40 in the movie
Самое лучшее исполнение! Я смотрю и у меня даже сердце болит от эмоций! Ведь это действительно умирающая птица, которая в последний раз пытается ещё раз взлететь.
Pavlova parece vivir ese momento final, entrar a la nada, a un supuesto vacío. Más allá de cualquier técnica, ella transmite todo el patetismo con una expresión mágica. Ella es el cisne resignado, predestinado a morir
Good day friend. A friend is one who, sees your 1st drop of tears, catches 2nd, stops 3rd and turns the 4th into a smile. Thanks to my lovely friends. A wonderful week ahead. Awesome and Unique stuff, like it very much
I have loved ballet for years. It is so nice to see Anna Pavlova in motion on the internet after seeing so many photos of her years ago. She emphasizes her gender in the way she moves while dancing more than some modern ballerinas do.
@@giasharie274 I believe this ballet is more about a swanlike nature and trying to look at the sadness of death in a lovely way. My comment about how she emphasizes her femininity was just my opinion of Pavlova's dancing.
I did a presentation in my ballet class about her class the first time i saw her perform i cried 😢 it is so perfect i hope one day i can dance like her 🖤🦢🩰❤️
Wow, this is SO different to the modern versions. Pavlova's original is far, far more convincing, more natural, less stylised. Thanks so much for the upload.
It is called being en pointe. It takes years to master the technique and strength that it takes to go en pointe safely. Many dancers go en pointe at age eleven or twelve, but that is only after years of training and evaluations from their instructors.The pointe shoe has a "shank" that supports the dancer and allows them to rise up onto the "box", which is what they dance on.
@Jan-Ola Ellingsen Yes, indeed. Talent cannot be fully utilized without hard work. Anna was and still such an inspiration. She struggled greatly, but she worked hard and became one of the greatest prima ballerinas.
i dont know about u guys but i can definitely feel her emotions throughout the whole time she's dancing, like so beautiful but sad and also soo desperate at the same time. i am nowhere near expert with ballet, i cant even dance right 😂 but the emotions man 😭got to appreciate it. RIP❤️
Myrna Loy's, 2 part interview with Dick Cavett in 1980, mentions that when she was dancer. Working as a teen in prologues at Graumans Egyptian theater in Hollywood. Took the public transportation to see Pavlova do the The Swan in downtown LA. That is where she was spotted, by a Photographer, interconnected with Valentino, and Warner Studios. She was to model while in her sculpting class, for a sculpture in front of Venice High School, Venice, Ca.
NO ONE WILL EVER BEAT THIS. THIS JS THE BEST. EVERY YWAR I WATCH THIS AND STILL AMZES ME. i WISH I CAN STILL SEE HER PERFORM LIVE huguhu. Her interpretation is truly the best...each flailing arms and the graceful death....😭😭😭😭😭
После Анны Павловой была Галина Уланова, потом Майя Плисецкая, а затем Ульяна Лопаткина. И у каждой балет как высшая форма искусства, шедевральные и гениальные русские балерины.
i really love this, im proud to know her, and seeing how much her version is different than today is so cool, she really looked like a dying swan by her wings trying to fly.
We are so lucky her dance was recorded... oh if to see her perform live.
Yes. We’re absolutely lucky!
Definitely, she was such a pioneer in ballet.
Yeah I could just watch her dance all night
Yesss
Yes yaar
I've read that Pavlova closely observed swans in real life to capture their movement. That combination of classicism and real life is stunning.
She expressed it so well ,the very best !! 👍👍💜🥁🎤🎶💞
She had a pet swan, there are pictures on the internet
@@irinademina9701 I've read about that .💜🥁🐉🎤🎶💞
I loved the detail at 1:45 where the swan struggled and tried to fly for the last time before dying.
So sad
Yes, so moving!

It is almost ugly in places, seemingly quite deliberately. More viscerally about death.
True ballet. Heartfelt and so real. She IS the swan.

Excellent tip - thank you. It makes all the difference.
Amazing, thank you for this tip. It really makes sense seeing her dance at this tempo.
Oh thank you !!! Because this made so much difference.
First time a dance has moved me to tears.
Aucune ballerine n a dansé la mort du cygne comme elle !! Sublime !!
I get chills just watching her perform . This makes us humans so different someone so talented almost not of this world! May she dance in the skies forever!
Anna pavlova was the best dancer in the history of ballet and no one can beat her!

Stunningly beautiful. The absolute summit of human achievement in dance. She became the "Dying Swan" in her performance!
It looked and felt so real, I almost started crying!🥺🤧
Literally made me cry. There’s nothing more beautiful, delicate and pure than this.
Such a beautiful comment ...
Wow... imagine seeing her swan ghost. So captivating.
My favorite part of Swan Lake - the music and the amazing synchronization of the pas de quatre!!
The first time I saw this recording, I started tearing up. So beautiful!
This dance is so strong. It made me cry without using words
She truly portrayed a dying swan.....I really felt that......she was really brilliant
Максимова, Ананиашвили - БРАВО! ОНИ СЛЫШАТ КАЖДЫЙ НЮАНС В МУЗЫКЕ!
She is wonderful
Cette prestation d'Anna Pavlova est vraiment une exception à part entière. C'est tout simplement magnifique !
Merci beaucoup pour cette vidéo
Anna Pavlova est un des
bijoux de la danse classique
OMG I really feel like I watched an animal die . She puts so much life into her dance
In reality, you are watching an animal die. Her last words were “get my swan costume ready”
Yes
This brought tears to my eyes.
Jamais la grâce d’un cygne ne fût rendue avec autant de rigueur et de tendresse ❤
Nobody does it better than her

it’s not exclusive to australia honey. the whole world eats that same dessert
Always fascinated by swans since a child.This brought tears. It was like watching the last sad struggling moments of an animal.
Play it at x0.75 for the correct speed. You'll enjoy it even better.
The fact that I got to touch this exact tutu she’s wearing in the video is just 👌🏼
Только у Анны Павловой я поняла, что лебедь умирающий...........просто и гениально!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
