This short video clip of ballet "Tchaikovsky Pas de Deux", choreographed by George Balanchine and performed by Bolshoi dancers Evgenia Obraztsova & Andrei Merkuriev, is extracted from video - Kremlin Gala "Звезды балета XXI века" 2012 г. Отделение I. (See • Video , from 4:58 to 15:43.)
Moreover, I have done some color correction on the original video images. According to my limited knowledge on ballet, the costume-colors in Balenchine's Tchaikovsky Pas De Deux should be light pink for female dancer and light gray for male dancer, very graceful colors. However, in the original video the male dancer's costume is in highly saturated magenta/purple. Where did such weird color come from? I guess that is from the digital camera's mistaking, but not the director's idea. So, I tried to make some color correction to get the light pink and gray for costumes, especially to achieve good skin tone for the lovely ballerina.
At the end of this video clip, starting from 10:47, the color correction is revealed by comparing the colors before and after correction.

This could cure any sleeping disorder. Even her costume looks like a nightgown.

Spectacular. Andrei Merkuriev's technique is not as clean as some of the other Russian male dancers, but he's one of my favorite dancers. His artistry is amazing. He's the best Espada that I have ever seen.

Evgenia Obraztsova as beautiful as ever. Andrei Merkuriev with his incredible stage presence.

what do you guys mean “too slow”? theres an ochestra tempo and they are just moving along with the ochestra. they listen to the music. the ochestra should be faster also then...

@nicoledubois3547 9 лет назад

The tempo is agonizingly slow, and some of the choreography for the male is shortened or changed. And I think the piece is best performed straight through, without all the endless pauses for bows and applause. Obratsova is good, though. She looks like she could definitely handle a better, faster tempo.

Marvelous performance almost topping Tyler Peck, the Queen of this female role. but lacking the great head swerve of Tyler's in the coda and a fatigue caused lack of oomph in the two fish dives, of Mercuriev. Other than that, Genia has really finessed this role and all the choreography...just needs to delay the head thrust backwards a moment...a la Peck...which always takes the cake on the final exit, stage right, lifted over his head.

Allow the dancers the agency for interpreting a dance piece according to their own ways of dancing, thinking and moving. They're not trained like Balanchine dancers so their interpretation is more Russian in its lyricism and fluidity. There are certainly a multitude of ways to interpret choreography and the context of training and aesthetic plays a big role - is that so wrong?

Although this is beautifully danced, it doesn’t look like Balanchine’s choreography to me….there’s an attitude that’s missing, and it doesn’t matter how charmingly it’s danced, or how technically perfect. I suppose it would be similar to the NYCB staging “Spartacus” by Grigorovich, without his input, just from watching footage of its being danced; it may not even be possible to learn the strong Russian “bravura” which is necessary in Grigorivich’s ballets. I thought that the Balanchine Trust had to be involved in the répétiteur teaching of his choreography, so I don’t know what happened here.
