I was so lucky to see him many times in italy at his best,he was magnificent

Лучшая балетная пара современности! Брависсимо!

I'm not a fan of ballet but this pair is just amazing, the strength and grace in their movements... no words

I saw them in Nervi in the late 70ies and as a young ballerina I brought them flowers after their performance ......... I was impressed of course but I realize now they were more than special ... Their posture and technique and performing ...... pura poesia .... Ekaterina , Vladimir rimanete per sempre nel mio cuore

Her fouettés without the help of her arms has not been replicated. Maximova was an incredible dancer! So was Vasiliev!

Совершенство! Праздник! Радость! Красота! Браво!

l was lucky having seen them many times live,both marvelous,and volodia was from an other planet

Любуюсь этой парой Это космос

Needless to say, they were exceptional dancers. Vasiliev and Maximova remain favorites through the years. I don't know if Vasiliev's art has ever been surpassed. Thanks for sharing.

how wonderful, what a fantastic duo. An athletic man but so graceful and she is the perfect traditional ballerina. Lovely expressions and technically great but unlike a lot of modern day dancers who lose thier individuality for the sake of being too perfect she shines in everthing she does but seems so natural. wont see a pair like that again for along while.

l miss him so much as dancer,impossible having same from others ,really miss the every year presence of katya and volodia at nervi ballet summer festival,people loved them,and volodia in particular,was so kind and humble,so generous with his public

I am not a dancer either but to me Vasiliev was simply the greatest. Look at those perfectly executed spins and leaps plus the artistry. Maximova was the perfect partner. Unforgettable!

У этой чудесной пары великолепная техника и душа очень тонко совместимы. К сожалению таких профессионалов не вижу. 20-век это век русского советского балета.

l saw them live many times at their top ,really those were the days .

I am not qualified to say whether or not he is the very greatest male dancer ever, but I enjoy watching him more than any other. He is purely magnificent. 🌹

She is utterly charming and he is magnificent 🌹

The best forever

The magic these two incredible artists had together has not been surpassed. They are a joy to watch! Thank you for sharing. ❤️

Vladimir Vasiliev is wonderful ,the best

She was SO amazing

Ottima la regia ideativa del coordinamento del collettivo danzante che esprime in toto l'esprit de joie della danza e la sua armonia con passi sulle punte in veloce eundo delle ballerine.ittimo quello che con un mio neologismo mi piace chiamare convolo aereo ed elanista della ballerina ottimamente indotto e tenuto dal partner. Ottimo impadronimento del proscenio direi imperativo a balzi falcati amplissimi da parte del ballerino ed astante e praesens impressione di facilita esecutiva d'acchito per tutti gli agenti in proscenio.Ottimo il senso del continuum dato alla pièce danzante dai protagonisti. BIGHIN GIULIO RENZO. 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

and vladimir vasiliev the greatest dancer ever

Восхищен!

Максимова в роли Китри неподражаема!!! Лучшая пара!!!

Tuve el privilegio de verlos en este "Don Quijote", en el escenario de Teatro Colón de Buenos Aires en los comienzos de los '70. Lamento profundamente la precoz desaparición de Ekaterina. Eran una brisa fresca; aunque tecnicamente brillamtes. Fueron, son u serán

Stupendous! Vasiliev was the consummate danseur noble.

Как чудесно...

What a thrill to watch them both - the "dream team"!!!

The greatest for DQ of that generation! I cannot believe Volodya is 75 today, and that Katya is no longer.

¡¡¡QUE GRANDES...¡¡¡QUE UNICOS!!!... ¡¡¡¡INCOMPARABLES!!!!...Siempre los ad- mire, y los admirare por siempre.

Maravillosos, maravillosos, maravillosos 💐🦋💐

wow perfect

Fantastic!

Мастерство дуэтного танца Максимов ой и Васильева - эталон для а р т и с т о в балета.

Действительно, "самые выразительные ноги Большого!!!!!!!!"

Incredible!

Любимые и лучшие Екатерина Сергеевна и Владимир Викторович.❤❤❤

volodia is volodia l saw him many time live at his best in 70's never the world will see again a dancer like him

Osipova is Cirque du Soleil, Maximova is Eternal Classics.

Они прекрасны! Нет сейчас таких.

come mi mancano katya e volodia ,quante volte li vidi nelle calde serate estive a nervi,dio li benedica per la gioia che hanno donato con la loro incredibile danza.

Восхитительная красота!

On occasion, just for variety, Maximova did doubles for the entire first half of the fouettees and hands on her hips singles (as here) for the second half. Those.were.the.days.

fabulous! exciting! this is greatness! which knows no politics! this is the soul of the Russian people itself!

wow wow wow wow wow wow wow

Both unsurpassed!

Leggendari!!

7:35 brilliant!

It is always between them!

SUPERLATIVO:DOS TALENTOS:LOS ADORE Y SEGUIRE ADORANDOLOS POR SIEMPRE: GLORIA DINZEL.

VOLODIA IS VOLODIA

❤

@Maripudelmonaco what to say?VOLODIA IS VOLODIA

There were 32 fouettes as a rule. And such a pity that it is a history now.

surely volodia was the best and without the pubblicity of roumored defections

Tout semble si facile...

@jgh37 very sad indeed.

Feel sorry for the corps at that" get it over with" speed

A kakoy lulu?

this is a very old and traditional kirov style that produced makarova and Baryshnikov. it's my favorite as exciting to watch.

@jgh37 can you please, please tell me what is the point to compare two ballerinas that are completely differents, that come from two very differents schools, and that belong to two different times?I find Fonteyn amazing , same as Katja, but I understand ballet, I love ballet...I am so tired, can´t really take this crap like yours no more.

В наше время её бы не допустили в примы

I have to admit that I prefer Osipova. Heresy, I know.
