I'm probably missing the point, but did anyone else notice how beautifully the dress enhanced her dancing? She's exception on her own, of course, but the dress was almost weightless, it made her look like she was floating. I haven't seen such an effect in different renditions.
It's most likely made of silk, which creates that gossamar, floating, after effect. Carla Fracci had her Giselle costume made of silk tulle for that very reason. Truly lovely. And of course, the dancing is sublime.
I have seen Darcy at the Royal opera house when she danced with the royal ballet and have met her at the stage door on her way out from a performance she is a kind and generous lady and never forgot you I was fortunate enough to be at her last performance ever at the Roh and I can tell you that curtain call was electrifying wonderful the opera house erupted I will never forget that magical night and I will never forget the beauty and elegance Darcy worked so hard to bring to the stage you should see her in Sylvia and Manon sheer bliss Brava ! Brava ! Brava!
I loved Zoltan as well he was so charismatic, full of bravado must have been his Hungarian background, he was certainly no "couch potatoe" a really exciting performer that bought something extra to his dancing. I think this is one of the best Tchaikovsky pas de deux's I have seen. Thankyou for posting it.
This is one of the best performances of this pas de deux I have ever seen. Bussell dances as though she is an instrument that is creating the music with her dancing. Stunning, graceful and elegant!
I love it too. There are certain pieces Bussell dances that for me can never be beaten- I particularly loved her in Winter Dreams and Prince of the Pagodas.
PotP- the middle was brutal but the last pas de deux-love it. Was lucky enough to be at the performances when she retired. Song of the earth-no wonder David Bentley choreographed it for her. Even from the God's, there was something that set her apart.
No doubt Darcey is the most Classic Ballet performer one will one will ever encounter in the world of professional ballet! Though she is retired, she still has the magical glow ever known to anyone! Her dancing was superb! Her personality overflows whenever she speaks! Darcey, Good Luck! God Bless you and you’re family! Peter
Seriously Darcey that was just sublime. Floaty elegant technique musicality the way she through herself into those fish dives at speed at the end was exciting. Wow!
What a brilliant performance by both dancers. Darcy Bussell was such a musical and beautiful dancer. Her costume moved beautifully with her gorgeous movement. Zoltan was an excellent partner whose dancing matched hers. This is an excellent performance of Balanchine's great pas de deux.
Darcey is the personification of femininity and beauty in her dancing and her person, both now as a woman retired from the public stage and in the glorious days of her dancing career. Anthony Sharp
I just love when they do those fish dives, and that dress is sublime, ballet at its' best, didn't u find that you were smiling the whole time you were watching them, just gorgeous
I've been lucky enough to see her live on about 4 occasions and she truly shines onstage. Loved her with the Royal Ballet. Especially with Johnny Cope. Exquisite dancing partners!
I believe Darcy did a stintwith New York City Ballet , NYC audiences loved her. There is a video of her dancing with the company in the Agon pas de duex.
@@sedekiman OMG, his dancers were not sticks. Violette Verdy, Patricia Wilde, Allegra Kent, Melissa Hayden, Maria Tallchief, Suzanne Farrell . . . I could go on and on.
He is absolutely wonderful. His dancing was so sharp, fast, and bravura. She was very great too. Beautiful. Bravo them. Bravo Balanchine. Bravo Tchaikovsky.
He seemed to leave the Royal Ballet under a cloud. He and Darcey were a good match in heights. I think he coaches at the Hungarian Ballet School now. His brother danced as well. He reminds me of Vadim a bit although Vadim uses his face more.
@@angelabaker1992Zoltán's brother, Tamás, is the director of the H. ballet school. I saw Tamás perform in New York when he was a guest artist with ABT. I heard something about Zoltán being injured causing his early retirement from the stage.
@@ilonamaskal2272 Zoltan and Darcey did look good together. There were a lot of comings and goings in the Royal Ballet around that time. The company seems a lot more settled now under Kevin O'Hare. Darcey then went on to dance with Igor Zelensky and then Roberto Bolle.
Aren't they just gorgeous! I first saw Darcy in La Bayadere dancing the role of the princess. She's an amazing dancer, one of the very BEST! Then saw her in Macmillan's Prince Of The Pagodas. (Anyone see it?) Saw the wonderful Zoltan dancing the GORGEOUS Manon bedroom pas de deux with the Number One Dancer Of All Time, Sylvie Guillem!!! (IMPOSSIBLE to have a favorite dancer, right!) I'd sure love to see Darcy dance Manon!!!
+jan wintz I was lucky enough to see Darcy dance many many times her Manon is wonderful iwas at her last performance ever it was magical i think you can get the DVD from the Royal Opera House shop web site
Wow. I am in tears. I saw the couple perform in various videos, and I think also live in Tokyo, because we had a lot of performances by the Royal Ballet thanks to NBS, Mr Sasaki in affiliation with the Tokyo Ballet. But this seems like a performance when she was quite young and fresh, perhaps after Prince of the Pagodas and before the Dowell Sleeping Beauty that was recorded... Anyone fill me in. I was surprised by Zoltan, he wasn't always lucky to be recorded when he was in his best condition. I remember the documentary where MacMillan talks about Darcey and her having a fresh attack that he saw more in the States. Here, you can see that but how English her training is. The New York City Ballet has its own set of stars, and that is dazzling too, but the English daintiness you can see coming through in Darcy's phrasing and arms is a la the greats of her coaches. She was taller and long limbed compared to petite dancers like Viviana Durante or Aussie Leanne Benjamin, which was probably difficult for her in some pieces, but Balanchine works are therefore a good fitting glove for her, as we can see here. I was wowing when she prolongued her balance in places where the orchestra was sort of behind her... That is something that happens only when dancers are young and not tired from juggling life, fame and busy schedules plus injuries. It is great that TH-cam brings these telecasts to us. I hope the RB will not have this taken down. Not everyone gets to see stuff whether it is legitimate or not, and ballet is for everyone. Let the world sing joy to the world and all religions come to peace so we can enjoy the good stuff. The good stuff usually conquers the bad stuff, or the bad find a way to deal with their bad luck. Carabosse comes from the shadows, but Dowell brought her centre stage and will remain one of my favourites. Let the Shows Go On. There are many gods, and lesser Hell, so let us stay above ground rather than burn somewhere that only exists in our minds.
this darling woman dances so beautifully with her partner , i adore her dress , its so flattering ,,she floats around it looks so graceful xJane x💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗😽😽😽😽😽😽😽😽😽
somova has beautiful lines when she does this piece, and her long limbs are gorgeous...but i think she doesnt even compare to bussell here, she really floats like no one else, quite amazing
McBride/Baryshnikov Pas de Deux was filmed in a studio with no audience. It's part of courtesy of live performance to applaud, it shows the appreciation of the audience to the artists performing.
For once I actually liked the fishdives in the end by a European dancer. I personally prefer Russian or English trained dancers over Balanchine but in Tchaikovsky pas de deux, only the NYCB dancers seem to really "go for it" in the fishdives. In this version I was delighted to see the fishdives I expected.
You want to talk about going for it, try and find the video from the 1977 movie, “The Turning Point” starring Shirley MacLaine and Anne Bancroft. Oh, yeah. Mikhail Baryshnikov puts in an appearance too. There’s a thirty second section from the coda toTchaikovsky Pas De Deux where Suzanne Farrell dives recklessly, head long for the stage, as Peter Martins runs after her, and catches her just before she breaks her neck. Her head describes this pendulum-like action as she plummets to the ground. She repeats it to the other side. It’s breathtaking, and I’ve haven’t seen another ballerina since do it quite like that.
So light on her feet too. The dancers of late are incredibly heavy footed. You can hear their blochs land over the music. No wonder they complain of breaking several pairs of shoes per show.
Ottimo quello che con un mio neologismo mi piace chiamare convolo aereo ed elanista della ballerina ottimamente indotto e tenuto dal partner. Ottime le pose figurali assunte nell'ensembe. Ottima impressione di facilita esecutiva d'acchito per entrambi e di levità fatta tensione motile sorprendente nella ballerina. Ottimo impadronimento del proscenio direi imperativo a balzi falcati amplissimi ed a sforbiciate aeree e traverse spettacolari da parte del ballerino. Superlativi.Bighin Giulio Renzo. 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Darcy is divine in this performance; she's as light as a flower petal and as agile as a hummingbird. It's precious when technique serves art, and it can only happen in classical ballet when the dancer really masters the skills.
She has such grace and posture. It must be difficult enough to memorize all the steps never mind learn the technique. So many years of hard work and practice that go into a relatively short performance.
Wonderful dancers.....Darcey is so expressive and musical, and beautiful....the best "Tschaikovsky Pas De Deux" I've ever seen. Both dancers are superb! I LOVE this performance of my favorite dance ..thank you.
I didnt know who darcy was untill switching chanels on the t v and saw her dance on her farewell performance ,poetry in motion ive never seen anyone with such beauty in their arm movements ,
yes, the Balanchine foundation is actually really strict about the dress that is worn in this variation. You won't find this pdd danced in a tutu, ever. and I love Darcey :) I rarely say this but I think she should have been made assoluta.
So buoyant! Another performance to add to my favorites--the other two are Marianela Nuñez with Reece Clark and Tiler Peck with Joaquin de Luz. We are lucky to have these three wonderful pairings. (You can tell the ballerina knows what she's doing by the series of backward hops in her variation: the dancers who stint on them know nothing about Balanchine.)
Actually Tchaikovsky had written three Pas de deuxs in swan lake, one one act one, one in act two, and one in act three. Due to time constrictions, Tchaikovsky was only allowed to keep two Pas de deux so he removed the Pas de deux from act one and moved it to act three making it the black swan Pas de deux and the original black swan pas de deux (this piece of music) was stashed away in the bolshoi archives.
I can sit in my little council house and behold such beautiful dance. In some ways the internet is a sheer blessing.
Very much so i could watch this stuff anywhere and not get fed up.
Was anyone else just fascinated by the movement of the dress!
A creation worthy of Mme Karinska.
Almost as if in slow motion!
YES

This my favorite kind of dress for ballet
Original design by Barbara Karinska, the great designer who often worked with Balanchine.
It's most likely made of silk, which creates that gossamar, floating, after effect. Carla Fracci had her Giselle costume made of silk tulle for that very reason. Truly lovely. And of course, the dancing is sublime.
Sorry..."gossamer"

FANTASTIC!
Thanks for posting such marvelous piece for us . I love it very much . Fabulous!
Mesmerized watching Darcey. Spectacular dress, everything worked seamlessly. She looked ethereal.
This is a very difficult stuff and they handled it brilliantly. One word...PERFECTION. And she's so incredibly ellegant.
Increibles!!

A beautiful rose.the BEST interpretation of this ballet.
Is important to say the name of the male dancer. He is Zoltán Solymosi
Marilda Teix he was amazing! :-)
He's fantastic
Thank you!
He is amazing
I seem to remember him leaving the Royal Ballet under a bit of a cloud.
THAT DRESS.
I've been lucky enough to see her live on about 4 occasions and she truly shines onstage. Loved her with the Royal Ballet. Especially with Johnny Cope. Exquisite dancing partners!
One of my favourite interpretations. Darcey was incredible at her time.
Darcey Bussell would have made a perfect Balanchine ballerina! Enchanting! Mr B would have adored her... And... what a wonderful pas de poisson!
Why would she have wanted to be? She didn't want to be a stick dancing.

this is sheer genius, falwless technique, and most of all their facial expression reflects such joy and passion
Truly beautiful ...

I love the delicate way he placed her back on her point at the end of the dance.

+Chrissi you start learning steps and repertoire from when you're still a very young child :) you're right, she has such beautiful technique
anfalas
That's why it becomes part of their natural posture and movement. I know of former (child) ballerinas that still have that signature walk.
everything is gorgeous, The COSTUME and the dancing.
She is one of the best ever ❤

most beautiully danced, lovely in every way and faultless in execution. Terific.
Spectacular!
the best Tchaikovsky Pas de Deux ever!!!!
light, airy, with diamond precision. hard to believe Zoltan retired before he was 30
Why did he retire so young? 😱
Darcy does well in Balanchine ...I love the Pas de deux
She is completely and utterly perfect
She is amazing.
Absolute perfection!
Yes I did! Freudian slip woops! Too many of those at work today and it was late when I wrote that, thank you. :)
