大絶賛です、アレクサンドロワ❤素晴らしい❤ダイナミックで、パワフルで、しかもしなやかで。あなたはクラシックバレエ界の大輪の真っ赤な薔薇🌹です❤
Absolutely outstanding and astounding! The height of her jumps, the energy, the rapid spin of her pirouettes, the speed in all she does, her mastery of exhilerating fouettes, the impeccable lines and solid technique throughout etc., and she acts with her whole body and soul! Furthermore, she is so versatile ! She also has the rare gift of originality of style! Not to mention her sensitive musicality! This is a LEGENDARY ballerina! THANK YOU, Bundu Ballerins, for the care and all the work put into this compilation and tribute.
Great comment dancing blue crane. Helped me identify why I loved watching this tribute so much. The excellent commentary is one of the many reasons I think this is the best ballet channel
Alexandrova is a very fine example for the "old imperial style" from the Bolshoi ballett School. I guess she is leaving the stage and I hope she will teach and coach!
Thank you @dancingbluecrane2813, now I don't have to write a comment! BunduBallerina, you have produced a magnificent video; I lost count of the "goosebump moments". ❤✨🩰
You are so welcome@@elizzy8754 I love your comment of "goosebump moments"! 💖
Yes, I also hope she will teach/coach@@susannevollmer2347
She has to be one of the greatest leapers in ballet history. And she is a perfect Gamzatti. Perfect attitude for that role. And, I think her partnerships with Nikolai Tsiskaridze were great. Seems like they personified Bolshoi aesthetic. And she has a very pretty figure.
Maravillosa
Y muy bien bailada b.tecnica y la interpretación.sus quintas y puntas m.buenas
Buena zambullida de bailarina hacia su bailarín bien logrado.
L'unica che riesce a impallare Tzikarisde.
To @ioioioioio265 . . You're right 'Nikolai Tsiskaridze and Maria Alexandrova have known each other since the Bolshoi Ballet Academy; they're close friends and danced together for the duration of Nikolai's career. Perhaps only Alexandrova can pierce through Tsiskaridze's persona, she knew how to 'work' Tsiskaridze & handle his mood swings etc.
Прекрасная подборка. Мария Александрова во всем блеске и разнообразии. Сила, грация, огонь. Отдельное спасибо за Никию, не часто попадаются записи этой ее партии. Что Александрова - идеальная Гамзати, было изначально ясно, но она и в партии Никии хороша. Сцена смерти великолепно исполнена, а бравурная часть (танец с корзиной) так просто идеал, лучше Лопаткиной, которой (при всем моем к ней обожании) трудно справиться на такой скорости со своими длиннющими ногами и руками. И еще: Александрова - лучшая в своем поколении принцесса Аврора. Эта партия "кусачая", мало кому дается и мало кто ее любит (Плисецкая так откровенно не любила). А все потому, что технически сложная, местами силовая, при этом эмоционально закрытая, суховато-грациозная, немножко "фарфоровая". Александрова, которую чаще представляют бравурной и размашистой, на удивление органична в этой партии.
Spasiba! Well-said.
Вот уж по поводу Никии никогда не соглашусь...Совсем не её.
Thank you, wonderful and amazing. I loved how you showed her Gazmatti again when she was older. The difference is astounding. You could see how good she was going to be at 16 but, when she matured a bit, her control and confidence in her dance - just wow. Thank,you so much 🙏🙏🙏👵🇦🇺🩰🩰🩰🩰
I totally agree! Thank you for your astute comments! 💖😊
Alexandrova es maravillosa. Ya desde muy joven poseía las cualidades q se desarrollaron con los años y la experiencia. Técnica sobresalente, musicalidad, ductilidad en los distintos roles, y para mí lo q es quizás una de sus cualidades más importantes es q se adueñó de los diferentes roles y "fue" Raymonda, Ganzatti, Odette/Odile, Esmeralda y todos y cada uno de los distintos personajes q interpreto. Sin ninguna duda una de las bailarinas más importantes del mundo para mí!
it's the Carmen when the system sets her free when her body plays the music = her Divinity
perfect attitude and skills for Carmen ! but I have something to say about the Russian (Cuban) Carmen, it is a plagiarism from the Carmen of Roland Petit, caused by the Cold War period, when Russian dancers were not allowed to dance Western choreographies
.....
@@tarantellalarouge7632 A plagiat? Never ever! Carmen steps choreographed by Maja Plissetzkaja stage arangements by a cuban artist. Alexandrova is a great Carmen more than many others who thougt they have to do it.
@@susannevollmer2347 at the time of Cold War, in Paris, Roland PETIT, created a modern Carmen with his wife Zizi Jeanmaire, (1948) and Maya Plisetskaïa saw it and was eager to dance it. But for political reasons (cold war), she was not allowed to dance it, so she asked to a cuban choreographer Alberto Alonso (from a communist country) to adapt it for her (1967). That's why those ballets are so similar, same music (Georges Bizet, Carmen) of course, but same steps (with flexed feet), same costumes, same attitudes, etc... if you are interested, you can see it by yourself on YT and make your own comparison between the two and think what you want to think about it .....Art must be seen by everybody but it is also nice to "return to Ceasar what belongs to Ceasar" ..... and Maya Plisetskaïa was right to do this because she wanted to be Carmen so badly at the time !...
@@tarantellalarouge7632 Thank you for this answer. I know the ballet from Petit quite well and where are there same steps? Please read the memoirs from Plisetzkaja. Two absolutely different works and music - arranged by Tshedrin her husband. And very different Carmens Zizi Jeanmaire and Maja Plissetzkaja. I prefer Plissetzkajas and Alonsos Carmen. The Petit Carmen seems to me a bit oldfashioned with all these sensationel attributes. But in the old times it was a sensation the bed, the short hair, the corsage and cigarettes on stage!
Nikija geniale.
Thank you for this wonderful compilation of Maria who is fearless and powerful. Maria embraces each role with great attention to detail and the use of her beautiful hands. I had the pleasure of seeing her Kitri twice and she smiled the entire time while remaining fearless with boundless engergy. It has been a pleasure to watch this excellent video. ❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you too for all your input 😍
@@TheBunduBallerina You are welcome and thanks for all of the excellent videos. 💖💖
Музыкальность, харизма и законченность в каждом движении. Мария Александрова в моем сердце ❤
Смотрю на Сомову и думаю только "Какие красивые ноги". А когда смотрю на Марию и Нину , то не выделяется ничего отдельно. Каждый образ сделан с умом и воспринимается цельным.
Thank you so much! Maria Alexandrova is my favourite ballerina. She's always graceful but strong, displaying so much character. For me, she is magnetic, with such a huge stage presence. I'm so glad to be able to watch her evolution and portrayal of different characters. Thank you, Bundu Ballerina!
Thanks a lot for your comment!
WoW! So amazing a fabulous treat for us today, thankyou with all my heart-sheer joy!❤
So glad! 😊
Fouette muy bien ejecutados y todo c.elegancia y soltura
Excelente.mirta
Yes loved her mirta so much
Me too! And Kitri, Ramzee, the river part , Grand pas with Ziskaridse, the lesson and her Balanchine parts: she got it.
Thank you for introducing me to Maria Alexandrova, Bundu Ballerina. Watching her, she is exhilarating.
She is exhilarating indeed! Thank you.
This compilation and tribute is a such a treat, thank you so much for posting this! Maria Alexandrova is like no other! She is such an astonishingly riveting, fearless, and exciting dancer, always giving her audience 100%. What a powerhouse!! She is my absolute favorite Myrtha in that superb 1998 Bolshoi Giselle clip you included that also featured Svetlana Lunkina as Giselle and Nicolai Tsiskaridze as Albrecht. I seem to remember reading that both Maria and Svetlana were 18 years old at the time and making their unforgettable Bolshoi debuts with that performance. I also especially loved Maria's exciting partnerships with Lantratov - what a wonderful team they made! She deserves every accolade!
Thank you for your fascinating comment! I did not realize Alexandrova was only 18 in the Myrtha video. And I agree that she and Lantratov formed an exciting partnership.
Surely yes, but she has special qualities. Io trovo che abbia in comune con la diversissima Oleaya Novikova la inclinazione al balletto brillante. Trovo che sia valorizzata quando si diverte e si diverte quando c: è molto brio o molta passione. Non è una ballerina romantica o amante degli adagi.
For her 'Myrtha' she needed a large space to create dramatic attention . . and as Alexandrova travelled from one space of the stage to another, you will have admired the sinister look, the powerful & sharp attack of Alexandrova's performance of the role. I love Alexandrova ❤️ 😍 💖. And as for their 'Talisman PDD' if Lobukhin's rather adventurous, then Alexandova's being delightful with her grace and beauty ❤️ ❤️ ❤️! We, the audiences are captivated absolutely. It's a great compilation video @BB and thank you as always ❤ 😊.
Thank you too, as always 💖
MARIA EXCELLENT IN EACH ROLE SHE WAS GIVEN! Will she ever go back to the BOLSHO?I
She was still performing Aegina, Kitri and other roles at the Bolshoi last year, (2022). I'm not sure about this year.
@@TheBunduBallerina Thanks for your reply
Бесподобная, потрясающая Александрова! ❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
So nice watch the young Alexandrova, she's always amazing
So, I’ve always seen Masha as a power ballerina, suited for jumps that suit her presence onstage. She’s a ballerina that every girl who studies in Moscow and loves jumping and extravagant ballet: literally Большой Балет 🩰. I prefer Myrtha over Giselle; Gamzatti over Nikiiya and OMG her leaps into Basilio’s arms are the kind of courage and abandon I aspire to have in every step. Full commitment and total disregard for what could go wrong. One of my early coaches Yelena Ryaninkina really challenged me and told me to look up to Masha for her power… behind the scenes, many in Bolshoi would say: if only she had longer arms and legs…🇵🇹🇧🇷🩰👏🏻
Yelena taught me one of most important lessons of my career: never dance scared; when dancer hesitate falls and errors happen. Masha is fearless!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 10:35
Salta in effetti come un grillo.
Ballerina molto strana e interessante.
To @ioioioioio265 I see how and why you had stated, 'it actually jumps as a cricket'. An Engineer, Professor Mittal from John Hopkins University Baltimore Maryland in a research, he said he was surprised to see the cricket insects' 'jumps' were similar to that of a ballet dancer and they managed to land nicely on their feet! Now, with your other comment 'very strange and interesting dancer'. . and I take it that you mean . . Alexandrova is an exceptional or remarkable dancer with great talents ❤❤❤❤❤ and absolutely she is!
@@candidacarino669 Certamente, ma è una ballerina che si diverte solo nei balletti brillanti e passionali, negli adagi nel romantico e nel dettaglio si scoccia
❤❤❤ никто так,к созалению , сегодня не танцует, и такая стремительность была только у предыдущего поколения!!! Мария этим владеет, как и всем остальным !!
Очень жаль, что с определенного момента она перестала, практически , появляться на сцене Большого театра , а мы в театр ходим смотреть на своих любимых исполнителей, а не на руковощителей балетной труппой.....
thank you for this brilliant opportunity ! to see the best Alexandrova! She and Lantratov are now the best in Bolshoi!
Thank you too for your comment!
Brilliant ballerina in some of the greatest variations. Pure perfection and a joy to watch.
Many thanks!
Mi e' sempre sembrata una solida lavoratrice, affidabile, implacabile, senza vanita' o virtuosismi eccessivi, ma come ha scritto qualcuno, senza alcuna paura del palco, fatto il proprio a dovere, e' a posto. Intelligente.
Thank you for this! A great Saturday treat!
You're welcome!
Ну до чего же хороша!
Посмотреть бы балеты с такой замечательной балериной! Хотя бы отрывки может у кого есть записи!
LOVE HER!!!
Супер класс 👍
The best of Bolshoi!
Thank you for this video, appreciate it
Thank you too for your comment
❤❤❤
**AVE...MARIA...**
Dear, you ARE Bolshoi Ballet. You are the poster child of the great company. You are the best example of the grand Gorsky tradition styles he brought to the company. You did it. You're a WINNER. BRAVA!!!
My suggestion now is to go to the Royal Ballet, indulge in the grand buffet of McMillan and Ashton, and finish your career there. You will be loved immensely by the English. You are a force of nature STAR!!!
CALL ANTHONY DOWELL, sweetheart ❤️. He can make it happen. It doesn't matter he's not the director...
Szívből köszönöm ezt a nagy örömet szerző, szívet-lelket simogató gyönyörűséget. Mária a kedvencem, régi rajongója vagyok. Mindig lenyűgöz a végtelen eleganciája, a tökéletes pontos magabiztos technikája, csodálatos kecsessége, könnyedsége, tisztasága,,ha kell: a játékossága, az örök finomsága. Ő az igazi CSODA ! budapesti rajongója :Liza
Thank you 😊
Thank you so much dear BunduBallerina. I guess Alexandrova will never come back on the Bolshoi stage. Not after the Kremls affront against her and other deserved principals.
Thank you too. Alexandrova was still dancing as Aegina, Kitri and in other roles at the Bolshoi in 2022. I'm not sure about this year, though.
@@TheBunduBallerina She is along with other principals suspendet. Nearly half of the pincipals must go. I just saw again a part from her Aegina with Lantratov: She is absolutely great. I dont know who can replace her!
nina kaptsova next please 🥺
Great idea. I was planning to make one sometime. 😊
Absolutely fascinated by this dancer. She has everything, and yet she has nothing. She starts with everything. She shows up with all guns blazing. I begin to criticize her physique and then I realize that dance has nothing to do the 'shape' of one's body. She is perfect. Her elan is innate. Her naturalness is as fake as it's needed. I love this dancer. I love Maria Alexandrova.
Суперподборка!!! 100% блестящая московская балерина! А ещё говорят. что сейчас не отличить большой от кировского. Смотрите и различайте! И да... Какой же Цискаридзе плохой партнёр!
Надеюсь про Цискаридзе был сарказм,тк. дуэт Гамзати(Мария) и Солора(Николай) просто волшебный!
@@nickvin3212 Никакого сарказма. Смотрите внимательнее.
ну, так пересмотрите запись 2000 года... так и хочется сказать " прекрасной" Гамзатти отвали, не загораживай " плохого" Солора... а что касается школ, не могу понять мне Александрова не нравится или вся московская школа)))
@@natashavanova1157вам ,вообще, похоже балет не нравится!
Мария - потрясающая, элегантная, но энергичная и очень яркая техничная балерина, такого уровня артистов уже нет в нынешнем Большом театре. Большое спасибо за великолепную подборку с ее выступлений!
