No offense to the other ladies, but Marianela’s port de bras is almost magical it’s so beautiful and full of life. I also preferred the texture, how she played with speed in hers, of course that could be more about how she was directed to perform it, but overall it resulted in a more engaging performance.
Each dancer brought her unique characterization to the role of Gamzatti. The all captured the difficult elements of the variation. They are all beautiful to watch. ( The Bolshoi orchestra was great and really emphasized the brass section. ) Thanks again for another amazing video, C ❤❤❤
Marianela has such an amazing effortless and yet controlled quality to her dancing-I especially love the way her attitude turns finish in such a turned out position. I would say I find her acting the most compelling too, although not by a large margin from the other two dancers. But I would have to say Ekaterina might be my favorite of these three just because of the timing of her jumps, which are perfect-she knows exactly when to start the jump so that she's fully extended in the air at the perfect moment. They’re more precisely musical than either Marianela or Darcy. I do also like Darcy-there is an ease to her dancing that I feel is almost "slippery" (?) (in a good way!)-but the orchestra plays pretty slowly, especially in the turn sequence-almost 'stately' which I don’t think is right for the impetuous, haughty Gamzatti.
I think Nela and Ekaterina’s versions reminded me that Gamzetti is a young princess, even though she has all vengeance. Darcy’s version shapes the character to be more mature, akin to a queen more than a princess. All are spectacular!
i usually prefer russian dancers in these compilations, but when ms. nuñez is in the lineup, i have to amend my preferences!!! i love the russian training so much but somehow, she is so lovely that i do not even care about the style anymore!
Wow, all three were wonderfully performed! In comparison, I think I would put Nunez first, Ekaterina second and Bussell third (only because her pirouettes weren’t quite as clean. And did her music seem slower?) But I’d pay every bit of money I could afford to see any one of them perform live (I know Darcy Bussell’s retired, but you get my point). Thanks SO MUCH for posting. 👏👏👏
They are gorgeous all of them, actually it is the first time I see krysanova in this variation and the second part of it is really spectacular, good for her. 👍 Darcey and Maria nela are superb always, but in this specific variation Nunez is a joy to watch 👍😊
The first dancer had more control on Her attitude turns into plié and her pique turns were effortless as if she could continue turning even after the Triple turn. I was also quite fond of the third ballerina.
Marienela, everything she brings to her performance. All have great technique, but Marienela just flows through every transition, with her beautiful expressive head and arms and her musicality ❤
I love love love Gamzatti, bc of the music, the whole thing 👍🏻👍🏻😍👍🏻 So for sure when always there is a Gamzatti video, I'm watching it! 😃 I saw so many variations with a loooooot of different ballerinas.... I can say for sure: NOBODY, really Nobody beats Marinela Nunez in this choreography ! I say this although she isn't my first favorite ballerina.... But I like her extremely of course! 👍🏻 😂❤️❤️❤️She is the best in especially this master piece!
Cada uma, com técnica e talento extraordinarios, nos fascinam com a magia do Ballet. Bravissimas. Gostei muito do arranjo musical na variação da Ekaterina. Parabéns ao maestro e músicos. 👏👏👏🌟🌟🌟🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
All of them are amazing yet with different styles. I feel that Nela and Ekaterina are slightly better at turning than Darcy, but ballet isn't about who can turn the most or who can jump the highest. Ekaterina's music is slightly quicker than the first two (which is typical for Bolshoi :D). My personal fav is Nela though, it feels like she is not dancing Gamzatti, she IS Gamzatti. Thanks for the great video!
Thank you truly once again for starting my day off with loveliness! These three are all wonderful and to compare them is not really fair because each is wonderful in every way but since I must I must conclude that for me Nela is not simply dancing her feelings brought out by incredible music, her timing and perfect phrasing of the steps to the music with absolute control and proficiency of it all from the top of her head to the balls other feet proves she is the master of this performance as well as every other she does. Literally flawless! Perfect poetry in motion!
Nela and then Bussul I could see how much she was trying and I think that's what counts. But Nela wow that's really inspiring for me because I am a young dancer ( when I say young I mean 10 year old young) I think watching the Royal ballets classes are AMAZING they help me look at what I may be doing in the future and I think it helps my technique in classical ballet I would not be the same without Nelas amazing dancing! I LOVE YOU NELA! 💗💗💗🩰🩰🩰
They are all fantastic. Though I felt Krysanova was struggling at the beginning due to the faster tempo of the music. I love the little back bend in the chainees that the Royal Ballet version of the variation has, just adds a little bit of sass. Nela just couldn't stop smiling, just what you would expect for this moment of the ballet.
All beautiful. Amazing how each one brings different nuances to the same dance. If I had to make a choice, I’d go with Ekatarina. There was just ‘something’ - not the least being her tutu was pretty. Petty to say the others were not attractive at all! She just had a lightness to her. Best way I can describe it. Thank you, amazing 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
They are all three beautiful in their own way. I love Nunez and Bussell, but I have to say that Krysanova impressed me with the way she appears to 'eat up' the stage. Also she is the only one who properly performed the timing at 2:53: there is one relevé, and one two (two beats,), and where you think the ballerina is almost going to miss the next relevé, and then three relevés, and three and four and five, développé six... Elisabeth Platel and Ludmilla Pagliero elsewhere in UA-cam, perform it very well - but I may be influenced by the Nureyev choreography which I know well.
Yup, and the Bolshoi Historic Stage is the biggest! Krysanova is a master in covering every inch of that stage and making use of the space she gets to perform to the best of her ability. Suits Gamzatti’s character so much.
Tourbillon di giravolte da capogiro attuato sulle punte .Imperativa occupazione totale dello spazio proscenico a falcate amplissime ed impressione di facilità esecutiva d'acchito e di levità fluente fatta tensione elanista e motile sorprendente in questa ballerina che riconduce in piena grazia i passi alla musica come avesse immiata l'euritmia melodica. Eccezzionale. BIGHIN GIULIO RENZO
Notice how often Marianela looks up towards her hand when her arm is extended upwards. This little touch is but one of the many reasons the whole world loves her.
In questo video (in assoluto la mia preferita è Natalia Osipova) anche se sono tutte bravissime la mia preferita è Marianela Nunez, trovo che Gamzatti sia il ruolo che le viene meglio.
krysanova is my favourite in this variation but darcey's temple destruction scene alone makes her my favourite gamzatti overall. her extensions are just ethereal.
All wonderful but Darcey just blew my mind with her leaps. It looks like she is floating because of the extra leg extention at the very end of reaching the arch of the leap. Wow
Krysanova. I appreciate all of them but Krysanova's faster tempo is exciting and seems right, her turns and jumps are terrific, her port de bras are beautiful addition, and she makes it look effortless. Nunez is very precise but has a stiff torso.
As for British style Ballerinas no one since Fonteyn can compare to Bussell (excepting Alina Cojocaro who is in a unique class and can’t be judged by the same measures) Nela is technically “perfect” but to me she is a precision instrument and even her “emotions” are planned in advance. That being said this is one of the worst example of Darcey’s spectacular style and technique. She’s just extraordinary but she looks a little off her game here. But even so she has those very “creamy” port des bras which is a hallmark of the Royal Ballet style. It’s impossible to compare Russian ballerinas except against each other. They play for the audience more than they inhabit the character. Not as lyrical but more virtuosic. I think she was excellent - very bright and quick tempo. The orchestra seemed particularly slow during Darcey’s performance which dragged it a bit.
the choreography is slightly different for the last ballerina, it seems that the stage is too small for Darcy Bussell, she almost hit a lady at he back of the stage ! I prefer Ekaterina Krysanova.
Nunez always so nunez, what ever she did you can see the same meal. She is correct, OK, but she is without light, and really boring, I don't think that this is a right prima.
Dear Ballet lovers, don't forget to SUBSCRIBE if you enjoyed the video 😍 Thanks for your support!
Nunez can change the qualitity of each step continiously.. So elegant like she's never down on earth and nothing is coming out nervously. Magestic!
In my opinion she overacts a litros bit the smiley expression.
Stunning… she floats out of her double attitude turn
Nunez by far. Her dancing is continuously expressive, she stays in character while remaining elegant. A joy to watch.
No offense to the other ladies, but Marianela’s port de bras is almost magical it’s so beautiful and full of life. I also preferred the texture, how she played with speed in hers, of course that could be more about how she was directed to perform it, but overall it resulted in a more engaging performance.
god, nela is just so charming, shes smiling, im smiling, everyone is smiling.
Each dancer brought her unique characterization to the role of Gamzatti. The all captured the difficult elements of the variation. They are all beautiful to watch. ( The Bolshoi orchestra was great and really emphasized the brass section. ) Thanks again for another amazing video, C ❤❤❤

Ya no te puedo escribir más sobre Nela. Es la mejorrrrrrr.!!!!! Grande NELA.!!!!!!
I think Nela and Ekaterina’s versions reminded me that Gamzetti is a young princess, even though she has all vengeance. Darcy’s version shapes the character to be more mature, akin to a queen more than a princess. All are spectacular!
Exactly
Nunez was more exciting and had little accents here and there that gave out more sparkle.
Marinela Nunez totally owns this variation! Bravo!
i usually prefer russian dancers in these compilations, but when ms. nuñez is in the lineup, i have to amend my preferences!!! i love the russian training so much but somehow, she is so lovely that i do not even care about the style anymore!
I prefer russian dancers too. Marianela is wonderful of course. A bit overacted. Good technique but never as unique as the russian trained.
😊russi😊an😊😊 dancers non1😊 and other european companies follow
All so different but Marianella and Ekaterina stand out for me. Darcy is stunning but I do have my favourites.
Wow, all three were wonderfully performed! In comparison, I think I would put Nunez first, Ekaterina second and Bussell third (only because her pirouettes weren’t quite as clean. And did her music seem slower?) But I’d pay every bit of money I could afford to see any one of them perform live (I know Darcy Bussell’s retired, but you get my point). Thanks SO MUCH for posting. 👏👏👏
I love Nunez , I see Darcy in her style too... lovely
The way Marianela lands after the pirouette is by dar the cleanest. She is perfection!
Tres estilos diferentes. Todas maravillosas pero la pasión y la técnica de Marianela Nuñez hacen que sea mi preferida.
Marianela maravillosa !!!
They are gorgeous all of them, actually it is the first time I see krysanova in this variation and the second part of it is really spectacular, good for her. 👍 Darcey and Maria nela are superb always, but in this specific variation Nunez is a joy to watch 👍😊
Krysanova is the best,,the jump the spacing the turns
It's great to see the different nuances of style. Extraordinary talent and ability!
The First One was terrific
The first dancer had more control on Her attitude turns into plié and her pique turns were effortless as if she could continue turning even after the Triple turn. I was also quite fond of the third ballerina.
Marienela, everything she brings to her performance.

So beautiful. Graceful, elegant and leaps... Out of this world 💕🌹❤️

Thanks for the great video!
Of the three I prefer Krysanova, but for me the best Gamzatti is Maria Alexandrova
Have tried but I really can't decide. All three are great! Thank you for posting such beauty!
Ahah you're welcome ❤️
No matter what she dances... Darcey Bussell is always my favourite 😍
All three beautiful 🎀But NUNEZ is an absolute Dance machine 💪🏻
Thank you truly once again for starting my day off with loveliness!

And this comment is poetry aswell 🥰 thank you so much ❤️
I agree, Marianela is really exceptional.

If you are watching this Nela you are inspiring thank you ❤️

I just love Nunez!
Nela se vió literalmente perfecta en esta variación 😍
All beautiful. Amazing how each one brings different nuances to the same dance. If I had to make a choice, I’d go with Ekatarina. There was just ‘something’ - not the least being her tutu was pretty.

Крысанова - лучшая

Thank you for your feedback, it's a very interesting analysis 🥰 Krysanova is absolutely incredible with timing 🩰
Yup, and the Bolshoi Historic Stage is the biggest! Krysanova is a master in covering every inch of that stage and making use of the space she gets to perform to the best of her ability. Suits Gamzatti’s character so much.
Una sola parola Meravigliosa!!!
Me too!
Nunez is my first favorite non-Russian ballerina :))
Ekaterina is the best. Pure russian style. Perfect technically and puritynin expression and lines!

Nunez the most perfect performance, greatest technique, wonderful delivery of the character. Cannot look at Osipova at all: freaken disappointment
Notice how often Marianela looks up towards her hand when her arm is extended upwards. This little touch is but one of the many reasons the whole world loves her.
Nela, Nela, Nela👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏❤
Respect must be the right word....jadore...🧡💛💚💙
Νunez ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
To my opinion - Krysanova is the best!
Номер 3 - Крысанова лучше других танцует и передаёт образ Гамзатти
👒🩰👏👏👏 Bravoooo!!
Nunez
Krysanova💗
Beautiful ❤️😘🤩
In questo video (in assoluto la mia preferita è Natalia Osipova) anche se sono tutte bravissime la mia preferita è Marianela Nunez, trovo che Gamzatti sia il ruolo che le viene meglio.
In this variattion, Maria Alexandrova is my favorite
Nunez is the best!❤
Катю Крысанову не переплюнешь!!! СУПЕР!!!! Ekaterina BRAVA!!!!!!!
Согласна, даже нюньес померкла
😍👏👏🌻
I love melas gamzatti, but there all great!
Volevo dire Meravigliose!!!!
Una più dell'altra ❤️
krysanova is my favourite in this variation but darcey's temple destruction scene alone makes her my favourite gamzatti overall. her extensions are just ethereal.
Krysanova, but Nunez a very close second !
Катя!!! Ты великолепна
All wonderful but Darcey just blew my mind with her leaps. It looks like she is floating because of the extra leg extention at the very end of reaching the arch of the leap. Wow
Yes she's probably one of the most incredible interpreters ❤️
I like Yekaterina’s version the most. Darcy is a little bit mature while Nela still looks like a pillar. They are all amazing though.
Krysanova. I appreciate all of them but Krysanova's faster tempo is exciting and seems right, her turns and jumps are terrific, her port de bras are beautiful addition, and she makes it look effortless. Nunez is very precise but has a stiff torso.
Sublime Ekaterina Krysanova !
No one dances Gamzatti better than Maria Alexandrova
Вообще-то, идеальная Гамзатти - Т.Терехова. Хотя и Мария, и Екатерина тоже хороши. "Королевичны"..
As for British style Ballerinas no one since Fonteyn can compare to Bussell (excepting Alina Cojocaro who is in a unique class and can’t be judged by the same measures) Nela is technically “perfect” but to me she is a precision instrument and even her “emotions” are planned in advance.

The orchestra seemed particularly slow during Darcey’s performance which dragged it a bit.
누네즈는 신이 주신 선물이다.
Nunez has that extra extra~ ness that immediately sets her apart from the other excellent dancers
É Krysanova e não Ekaterina. Sorry!
Neta!
Катя Крысанова-лучшая Гамзати
That dislike must be an error
👏👏👏💞🙌🕊
the choreography is slightly different for the last ballerina, it seems that the stage is too small for Darcy Bussell, she almost hit a lady at he back of the stage ! I prefer Ekaterina Krysanova.
Faltó Osipova que también es fabulosa !!
Крысанова 2м первым
несомненно уступает
Beautiful dancers, but for me the perfect gamzatti will always be Natalia Osipova
Нньес ни о чем, больше наверно нет никого, пихают вл все ролики
Nunez always so nunez, what ever she did you can see the same meal. She is correct, OK, but she is without light, and really boring, I don't think that this is a right prima.
+++++
Наталья Осипова непревзойденная в этой партии!
Мария Александрова не уступит эту роль ни кому.
Крысанова явно проигрывает
