Sir Anton and Spessivtzeva discuss dancing the roles of Giselle and Albrecht. The footage of them dancing is from 1932. Spessivtzeva had suffered a nervous breakdown earlier and is probably medicated here (not while she is dancing!). She passed away in 1991.

Какая она оказалась! На других не похожая Жизель. А прыгает как высоко! Наравне с партнёром. И очень оживленная, ей веришь. Это сейчас все Жизели на один манер, безжизненные. Спасибо за видео, сохраню.

This is really wonderful. Not just because it's so touching, but to have a chance to see such a sublime artist - very rare. So expressive, so youthful and brimming with life and grace. And there's such animation and bounciness to her dancing! Joyous, lively, adorable, lovable! Her technique is exquisite, of course, but the soul that is radiating through the dance is what is, for me, so touching. Can there be a more moving Giselle? Thank you so much - better than I could have dreamt.

Olga is just miraculous, I didn't even expect that I could ever say it, but she is even better as Giselle than stunning Carla Fracci (but the part in 'La sylphide' still belongs to her). She's perfect. Why there are not such dancers as her these days?;)

It's like she is dancing on air - melodious!

@nonenoneonenonenone 5 месяцев назад

She does seem to stay in the air, to leap more slowly, the proportional relationship of her grands battements is unique. Where Markova was frail and weightless, Spessivtzeva is aerial and spacey. It's easier to believe her Giselle would go mad.

@isabs8616 3 года назад

Is it possible she went to the French riviera in South of France sometime ? My grandfather had a romance with a Russian ballerina, and many years later, my grandmother told me her name was " Spessivseva ", it is so amazing I find her name here . My grandfather kept a pair of dance shoes of her, as a souvenir, very small size. I just saw in her biography that she worked in France and Italy, she may have met him at this moment, he lived near Nice.

Yes, in the 1930s perhaps, with the ballet company.

@jkircher314 I so agree! She is a complete joy to behold. And, despite the age of this clip and the years that have passed since it was recorded, her dancing looks totally NOW, fresh, immediate, timeless.

@nonenoneonenonenone 5 месяцев назад

She dances like a real human being. Her turnout is natural, not exaggerated, and it doesn't even really matter that much. It's what she is doing that matters, the character.

@powerdisney Год назад

Just exquisite ...such comfort for me as escapism in my teens...the moves were shapes in my soul altho I never was so sublime as Pavlova....thanks for sharing and re shared

@OLIVCHEN77 6 лет назад

She is a great dancer, and not only that! She is a in the style of the ballet, and the time it was written. She must had been a wonderful actress too! And its interessting, in my ooinion, that Alonso is in her tradition. They are both in a extra class! Not this jumping all ariund like Ossipova! That is impressive, yes, but it had nozhing to do with Giselle!

@nonenoneonenonenone 5 месяцев назад

Exactly, this is the Imperial Russian ballet, not the Soviet ballet, which is so compromised in its esthetics.

I remember first seeing this tiny bit of film many, many years ago on television as part of a biographical film called "The Sleeping Ballerina." Dame Marie Rambert commented on Spessivtzeva's performance here. She said, "See, she jumps almost as high as Dolin" and remarked on her "extraordinarily pointed foot, beautiful arch. Her arch was like Pavlova's arch." Unfortunately when this biography was shown it was long before the VCR era, so I didn't get to record it, but I remember it well--

@ajazhuzhu 13 лет назад

Thank you for video!

@Vik42220 10 лет назад

Madame Rambert also said that such pointes as Spessivtzeva's and Pavlova's were "quite rare."

@nonenoneonenonenone 5 месяцев назад

They didn't use throwaway shoes, that's for sure.

Shows how little Giselle changed in 85 years. And now there is a great ballet by Boris Eifman based on her life called Red Giselle. I would never know about this clip if it wasn't for one of the dancers from Eifman Ballet, thank you.

@nataliacarlton3413 Год назад

Olga is 37 years old here, in 1932.

@Vik42220 11 лет назад

I have always wondered if Natalia Makarova ever got to meet her idol, Olga Spessivtseva. It would have been possible. Natasha defected in 1970 and Madame Spessivtseva did not pass away until 1991. Of course, I do not know what condition Madame was in physically or mentally, so perhaps such a meeting would not have been possible. It is fascinating to imagine such a meeting. It would be like a modern-day composer meeting Beethoven. Does anyone have any idea?

@kabardinka1 4 года назад

Makarova was able to meet Olga while Spessivtseva lived at Tolstoy Farm. There's a photo of them together. She also met Mathilde Kschessinska while the Kirov was on tour in Paris.

She lived in New York State, so they certainly could have met. Nina Stroganova went to Madame Olga to coach her in Giselle.

@suzannederringer1607 5 лет назад

Does anyone know when performances dropped the final scene in the score - the return of Wilfred and the Court (including the poor fiancee) all fully dressed at barely daybreak, to reclaim Albrecht and take him back to 'reality'? I have never seen this anywhere. And it's good that it was dropped, because we KNOW that Albrecht will have to return to 'normal' life and his obligations - but it's just RIGHT to leave him alone onstage after Giselle returns to the grave (and eternal peace) - leaving Albrecht overwhelmed and transformed by his experience. He needs time alone!

@5670gemini 15 лет назад

Have you got more of this...presumably you have a copy of the 1962 BBC documentary The sleeping ballerina?

@kabardinka1 8 лет назад

Her first nervous breakdown was in 1934... so, this likely unmedicated.

@The-Portland-Daily-Blink 3 года назад

Her technique is equivalent to any dancer of today, which for that era was really unheard of. Most of the ballet dancers then were not very good and generally 20 pounds overweight. She was so ahead of her time. You can see the perfection of her technique even in this poor quality film.

@nonenoneonenonenone 5 месяцев назад

That is such an outrageous slander of dancers of that time. They had much better technique in many ways. Technique is not about how high your arabesque is, it's about how well you are balanced, how straight is your line, and how well you hold it, how musical is your phrasing. It is in those ways today's dancers usually fall short. They care far too much about acrobatics. Nor were they overweight! They were healthy and strong, not Balanchine stick figures that make the audience sick. They might even have dared to have breasts! Like Cyd Charisse. Name any dancers today who can do what Cyd Charisse could do. What ignorance! Dancing is not better today. It is less artistic, less musical, less expressive, less stylish, and only more acrobatic.

@The-Portland-Daily-Blink 5 месяцев назад

@@nonenoneonenonenone LOL... Well, we can agree to disagree. I studied for many years, and with some of the best instructors from NY. We often talked about the history of dancers who came before. Also, Cyd Charisse was NOT a ballet dancer. She had ballet training but was not a ballet dancer, which is why she was known only as a dancer in Hollywood films. Using her as an example or comparison is rather funny. And yes, many of the dancers of that time were overweight, and their technique was deplorable, not better than dancers of today. Perhaps you should read some books on the subject. As to "outrageous slander" toward dancers of that time, oh please. Seriously. LOL...
