It would be impossible to single out any one performance here as a favorite, since there are so many. The Obraztova and Shklyarov was heartbreaking, with his unexpected passing (2025). I have always adored the artistry of Samova and Fadeyev...but again, this whole roster of stars has to be ballet royalty, each and every performer!!!! Yours truly is in awe. No one does it quite like the Russians!

It is amazing that two companies in one country could have such an abundance of magnificent dancers. No one can produce these many incredible dancers. Bravo!

@matto8129

OMG those dancers are AMAZING !!!!! Thank you for posting this!  Much love from the states.

I did so enjoy this programme of famous ballet pas de deux by these two iconic companies. Very generous applause from this knowledgeable Japanese audience.

okay, yeah, that old "war horse", the Dying Swan is an absolute killer. Probably not a dry eye in the house. My house, anyway.Thank you so much for making this viewable.

@classicalaid1

Great performances. It is sad that the overall video quality degrades over time. One wonders what the future is for dance on YouTube.

Vladimir Shklyarov 'fell' off a fifth floor balcony. News in the West quotes Irina Baranovskya as saying he went out onto a narrow balcony to smoke and lost his balance. Searching multiple websites for her name as a dancer only returned her comments about Vladimir's death. She is NOT listed on the Mariinsky Ballet website as a dancer. How would a top ballet dancer with superb balance accidentally fall off a balcony?
