Xander Parish fled Russia, the country to which he owes his career. Likely, without any knowledge of the history, events and players that led to the Ukraine War. (It was not Putin who started this war.). For that, for me, he's not up there anymore among my favorite dancers. Interestingly, he subsequently organized a gala for escapees in the US, the country that is 100% responsible for the Ukraine War.

СПАСИБО! СПАСИБО ЗА ВСТРЕЧУ И ПОНИМАНИЕ ВЕЛИЧИЯ МОМЕНТА!! СПАСИБО, МАЭСТРО, СПАСИБО ЗА ОТКРЫТОЕ СЕРДЦЕ И ВЕРНОСТЬ ПРИЗВАНИЮ! СПАСИБО❤

Ush que gonorrea mk 😅

That f.... doesn't deserve to be a concertmeister. Get him outta here.

Wtf is this video speed up??

Der süsse Konzertmeister findest es offenbar beschissen 😂

Looks like this was a wonderful performance of Swan Lake.

WHAT A GREAT CLASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

アリーナ‎🤍‎🤍‎🤍

I love how the pianist is enjoying himself ❤and everyone around him is kinda not so interested.😴 😂

Figaro sounds fabulous on the piano

The members of the orchestra seems annoyed that the pianist virtually replaces them all in this extraordinarily virtuoso performance. 😅

Yana Selina Second Soloist is an amazing dancer and teacher 😍 and here at @ 35:34 Selina bends forward and bends her left knee ❤️ at the same time as she slides her straightened right leg slowly to the rear ❤. At @ 49:13 Viktoria Tereshkina the beautiful and extraordinary 'Best Paquita' dancer ever ❤️ 💙! Thank you all to the great Mariinsky dancers and to Xander Parish and E Baeva. And to the amazing 'collaborative pianist' Gennady Merkulov too. And thanks much 😊 to @ MariinskyEn for sharing.

Милости просим, заходите в гости, здсь много интересного из Мариинского тетра 😉 youtube.com/@fan-alexandrtrofimov

Ottima la figuralita ' espressa nella morte del cigno. Ottima la fibrillazione dei passi sulle punte in eundo e l'apporto del corollario danzante che rende praesens e vitale una movimentazione armonica ed aggrazziata. MOLTO BRAVI. BIGHIN GIULIO RENZO

Как ни пародоксально Жизель в исполнении Светланы, кажется, что роль даётся ей легко! Сколько же надо трудиться, что создаётся впечататление лёгкости!

This the best of the best of Russian ballet - Mariinsky stars coached by Great Plisetskaya!

Pianist Erich Schneider is a magnificent musician. My great respects to him.

Very nice interview with Nelson! Gergiev said Nelson was a pianist of the old school, which is a compliment. Still miss him on the concert platforms of the world.

Thank you 💝💝🍵🍵㊗️㊗️🎹🎹💎💎😍🎶🎵💯🎭💃😘🥰🕺👑💓🕊🐣🏆🧬

this violinist so jealous lol

Wow!!!

Loved watching this. What an excellent teacher Yana Selina. There was a girl wearing all black and she was so good. Unfortunately, they didn't show her very much. I particularly loved her arms and head.

Who is the very short dancer at 54:18...she seems to lack flexibility and control.

The concertmaster looks like he's plotting to shank him in the alleyway after the concert.

Quite interesting and a pleasure to gain insight from this discussion. My one point of concern is the degree of admiration expressed for dancers who dance through and with injuries. I can understand the sentiment but ballet in particular , even when compared to modern dance, places enormous stress on the body. I think it unwise to dance with an injury or immediately following surgery. All that being said I have a great appreciation for what these dancers do. Their bravery and honesty were remarkable. And their sense of camaraderie and support for each other was noticeable as well. So many thank yous! I was a professional modern dancer and still love the art form. Just taking class is a pleasure. Great to see these dancers in class and listen to them in this setting as well. Bravo!

This is a great musical soul. A wonderful person and performer. A polymath to boot.

dance macabre

The best baritone I have heard!!!

The concert master's insouciance ruined the performance. He needs a talking to.

I miss Nelson.

Horowitz never played in Brasil. Actually, he never was to South America. As a matter of fact, he never stepped on the southern hemisphere.

"The thing I like is his inner expression. A minimum of actual physical movement, rather inner strength in the sound and in his fingers! Today, many performers striver for external effects, for epatage, the emotions come through movement. Here you see immediately that he is a pianist of the old school. For him, everything that exists flows through sound. Externally he is not remotely concerned."

RIP, beloved​ Maestro!

Thank you to Xander for the English version. Fabulous class!

With him, everything was a tango. His heart always danced. What a god he was!

Two days ago, I went pay homage to our dear artist that passed away. A lovely white funeral wreath called my attention. It was the great Russian maestro Valery Gergiev final homage to his friend and admired performer Nelson Freire. Moving!

Sing...sing...

Les danseurs sont superbes. Cependant, trop de commentaires ! C'est insupportable.

Hey, looks like the list of dancers in the description left out the beautiful May Nagahisa whose first at one of the barres. Her technique and her lines are so effortless and delicate.

39:19 The girl in the grey leo was FLAWLESS. I literally went back 3 times to admire how beautifully she moved.

Great commentary. Wonderful teacher, dancers and pianist!

Thank you for this!!

❤❤❤

Thankyou for the english commentary XX

The commentary it's so annoying 😡😡😡 i can't enjoy the class if they are taking all the time!

Are they going to talk every time the dancers do the exercises? Can't we just watch and hear the music?
