All my 55 years on this planet. Nothing compares to. Mystery of man and woman. X

I come back to this again and again - such a magical tonic. Maria Bylova is one of the most beautiful people I’ve ever seen and she and her partner are perfectly matched with their long straight limbs and square shoulders - so vigorous, healthy and dashing they are together that I swoon every time.

The best of the best.Originally saw this in 1983 on PBS and have not seen any other performances since then top this one.😊

No one has EVER beaten these two dancers with Spring Waters. Their vervascity, energy, joy, spirit, her leaping forward onto pointe, never been equalled. I remember Joan Bakewell introducing it on tv from The Tent saying words to the effect, Hold your breathe. You're about to see something you've never seen the like before. Very very short, and utterly breathtaking. How right she was. I have that whole The Tent performance of the 1980s on video but can no longer see it, so I am utterly thrilled their version is on KZfaq. At the moment, I look at it every day!

I was lucky enough to see this performed live by these two dancers and I've treasured the memory for years.

Outstanding male partnership dancing

I'm certainly no expert on ballet. But it seem so me that this pas de deux is danced more expertly and smoothly than other KZfaq versions of the Rachmaninoff song. (Especially at the very end, where Bylova is lifted "on the fly", with no awkwardness.) Does anyone know who orchestrated "Spring Waters"? Rachmaninoff himself from his piano version? Or did perhaps Asaf Messerer have it orchestrated for his (iconic) choreography?

salodaysofsodom I agree, of the many versions on here, this is the most exhilarating. I would like to know who orchestrated it, too - I think there are other versions with less brass....

salodaysofsodom yes I see it is a song, piano piece and more

And the way she throws herself into his arms... and how he carries her off at the end. Other 'Spring Waters' dancers shown here on KZfaq seem not to want to attempt these (riskier?) moves.
