    She makes every single movement seem full of meaning, momentous, important. Like a 'language" of movement. Don't know how she does it. At the same time she appears so vulnerable somehow. A beautifully sensitive performance (performer). Of course Baryshnikov is as stylish as always, and the corps de b is great too. A++ work of art all round.

    I like seeing Balanchine done by Russian dancers. In this, I thought the lead girl got it right, and her partner didn't.. Somehow, (I am not a pro dancer) the effect was not quite modern. Still, I love the music, and the choreography.

    I've always loved this music,, and the choreography for this is brilliant. I was surprised how wonderful young Barishnikov and Kirkland were, especially her. I saw one slight flub; but she had a personal quality that just lit up the material. i also thought the costumes were gorgeous. Thanks ABT & Baja0270.

      she always gives this full interpretation from her tiptoes to her fingers, and also the movements of her head, she is so lively and delivers so much musicality and emotions, she never takes short cuts. I regret that there are not so much videos about her, and the few existing have poor quality, but I always come back to see her, specially in "Dances at a gathering and other dances" !

      @@lorakarlash248 Yes, what you say is so, overall! However, despite this general truth - Balanchine did make life very difficult for the young star (Kirkland), at times demanding a perfection that was not reasonable - or even, safe. It was an exceptional burden for Gelsey to happen to have been caught between the attentions of the old Balanchine and the young Baryshnikov- both of whom cut very deep wounds into her soul.

    Первое желание, которое возникает, это пересмотреть версию с Барышниковым и Киркленд. Я это сделала и поняла, что я их версию и до этого любила, а теперь еще больше буду любить. Настоящие артисты. А насколько Барышников внешне лучше выглядит по сравнению с Фарухом, с его изящными стопами, грацией, пропорциональной фигурой. И темп, конечно... похоронный марш.
