The Swan by Camille Saint-Saens' Carnival of the Animals 

One of the most beautiful things I have ever seen.

This is NOT from Swan Lake (Tchaikovsky) but a solo choreographed in 1907 for Anna Pavlova, called "The Swan," or, popularly, "The Dying Swan."

Not sure how I went from listening to techno to this but I'm in awe

My God she is so graceful. I feel like if the give her feathers light enough she'll fly. Her movements are so smooth

This is why I am blessed to live on God's green earth. The violin, the beautiful ballerina, Saint-Saen's music. If these things don't bring you to tears you are not breathing.

Me as a cellist I’m feeling betrayed. But kudos to the ballerina.

This is so beautiful, what a glorious ballerina.

When i tell you I’m sobbing

Nah the musicians rah let her down, couldn’t keep in time with each other, she did well to react every bloody time

She did such an awesome job of timing herself to the music! Beautiful

Not a ballet person, yet I sat transfixed with this performance. Exquisite, I felt such emotion, it was a beautiful display of mastery and grace.

Swans mate for life and are one of the few animals that can die of a broken heart....

I’m crying- 🧍🏼‍♀️

I literally said “Ohhhhh wow” put loud. Its beautiful, the song, dance, ambience. wow

Beautiful and Emotional!!😭This rendition of The Swan by Ekaterina Kondaurova was just magical...😢Bringing me to tears along with the mesmerizing and Melancholic music by Camille Saint-Saens!!💖😄

Simply stunning, I'm in floods...but really it should be played on a cello.

My understanding of science and art. We humans can express our feelings in many different ways much more than any creature ever existed in history to now but also these feelings are like a thin single human hair, very delicate one can make everything green or everything turns into dust. musician, dancer, painters they give shape to their dreams, Imagination, and filling, science do the same in the lab, science, and art is not very different in many ways but some time prediction little bit different art is very sensitive so we see what we want to see. And thank you for music and the dance

pointe for a long time. amazed

oh my goodness.. my heart is just full of emotion.. amazingly beautiful x

Stunningly beautiful and coordinated, the violin music and the "dying swan" both very well performed! As very young budding musicians, my parents took us kids to a lot of concerts while growing up. I admit to being a bit squirmy during the music I did not play and/or recognize, but I was NEVER bored watching ballet! I still love it today! Many ballerinas have made their mark with this famous music.

I never thought such a dance would get to me so easily. It’s absolutely beautiful. I can feel the passion from both the ballerina and person playing the viola. Watching this makes me feel a rollercoaster of emotions. Outstanding!!

Beautiful composition/delivery!!! Love Saint Saen.

Absolutely beautiful. Can't say anything else.

C'est le Carnaval des Animaux par Camille Saint Saens French The SWAN Le CYGNE en Français great dancer

Putin at the end caught me off guard😂

The absolute art of this video The musicians graceful effortless playing The dancers delicate technique The atmosphere of the lighting and art on stage The dancers character portrayal It just brings joy to my heart to see how impactful the arts are

Querés saber el significado de la perfección? Acá lo tenés... sublime hasta las lágrimas 😍❤️ te transporta a otro mundo,el mundo majestuoso de la danza

It´s a VIOLA!!, it's not a violin... Amazing performance :)

WOW - It had me crying.

How beautiful 😻! Wow 🤩 Amazing 😻

Celestial 🌌

3:00 I got chills with this part of the dance, a beautiful performance of the ballerina, but I prefer the cello version

The Swan is a singularly phenomenon by saint saens!

There are so many ballerinas doing this ballet, but this ballerina and Chauvire are the best. Simply beautiful; and that isn't a word that truly describes this performance.

Schönheit in höchster Form🤗🤗🤗

I've never seen ballet to this piece. So inredibly beautiful

Absolutely gorgeous

Sacred music and dance - Thank you to the genius composers and performers!

Camille Saint-Saens - Carnival of the Animals, The Swan (the Dying Swan) - Ekaterina Kondaurova

PERFECT!!!!

It you have a chance to be like that take it . Don't wait, it's to beautiful.

I don't think there is anything more harmonious, passionate, aesthetic and beautiful than the moment where a dancer reaches the point where she merges with the music, showing the potential with her extraordinarily captivating fusion. -Yoyo (A future artist-"but that's who I am...I think").

Pure beauty.

Speechless......... just awesome!

I love the way she tries to fly

Breath-taking rendering! You are loveliness embodied.

Thank you.

Playing this on my trumpet at the moment - such a beautiful tune.

Perfect 🤩

Very nice! My from Hungary!

Words to The Swan / I Wonder... I don't know why life's been hard, on me. Was, it some-thing that I said or I done? I don't know what put me on, this path. I, won-der why there nev-er was an-y love? Why was ter-ror al-ways on, my face? Why could-n't I just play in, the sun. Why was my fa-, ther al-ways, mad. Why did he take, it out on, me? Why did'-nt neigh-bors ev-er, step in? When, they could hear all the cries and the screams. Why are these ques-tions still a part of me? I won-der... And pon-der if... I'll, ev-er, know.

magic

The most graceful and tender thing I’ve ever seen. Why are the Russians so much in a different league to the rest of us?

me gusta mucho mas el sonido de la viola que el del violin en esta pieza, felicidades, maravilloso!!!

Einfach nur wunderschön ❤😊

"Mil beijos de um garoto" e minha admiração por ballet, me fizeram vim aqui😥💖
