It's hard to pick out any other ballerina that could have done this variation so gracefully and steadilly as Novikova has while the piano is this slow. Her technique is sublime
The best in the role of Raymonda is the frequent partner of Rudolf Nureyev, Noella Pontois of the Paris Opera Ballet. Beautiful, exquisite, elegant - it is Nureyev's original lavish production! There is a clip of her last performance of this variation on YT, performed in 1983 just before she retired. Her characterization of Raymonda was perfect, and she even stayed in character for the applause.
I asked the 'source' of this video but no Vogel or scarf variations were recorded. But the whole ballet will be broadcast on Italian television on th 27th October 2011, so maybe some clips will arrive soon after!
Thank you very much for posting these intriguing videos of Olesia. Please post her scarf variation if possible in addition to any other clips of her in this production. Thanks!
@@margolander2580 причем здесь Семеняка или Бессмертнова? Каждая из них, в том числе, и Олеся, яркая индивидуальность и каждая не похожа на других. Нет смысла их сравнивать и, говоря об одной, упоминать другую.
