Makarova is my favorite dancer of all time, and I saw her dance Giselle many times, but based on these Fracci and Nunez capture the innocence and joy of a young Giselle in love.

Marianela is my favorite. I don't think I've ever seen another ballerina who becomes the character the way she does. She's technically perfect and artistically perfect. 10/10

2:44 Effortlessly and completely natural performance!
Everyone could understand the bond uniting dance and music.
A trully magnificent performance.
Thank you mrs Carla Fracci and thanks to the uploader for picking her!

So interesting to see the interpretations of Giselle. For me Marianela's Giselle is superb.

[claireschweizer]

the arms from the variations from the 1970s... They're soo much more fun and playful I am on the verge of tears I love this compilation so so much, thank you for this gem!!!

Последнее выступление самое лучшее. Очень артистично! Без слов понятно стало о чём танец!

[elainechubb]

Five beautiful performances, and to me it comes down to the staging/production choices, which may not have been the dancer's choice. I like the choreography best in the Alonso excerpt, and least in the Bessmertnova--much too fast, as I could hear by the rushed and inartistic music. I was lucky enough to see Makarova dance with ABT and thought her second act incredibly beautiful and moving (closely followed by Gregory). In this excerpt, I liked Alonso and Fracci best, because they seemed closest to the original romantic-era concept of Giselle (as I understand it). Thank you so much for the compilation!

I love that you’re doing a “through the years” series! It’s so fascinating! I also loved seeing the film of Makarova and Bessmertnova!

Да, но без Улановой нельзя назвать этот список эволюцией.

[rokelle_]

All of the dancers were incredible, but I believe Marianela's performance was my favorite. She has the most expression, in her dance and I also much prefer the costuming in her performance as well.

[helgadeuen]

Fracci and La Nunez are the Best. They have Charisma and personality

[НатальяКоролёва-еи]

Все балерины прекрасны!!!! Слово ЭВОЛЮЦИЯ здесь совершенно неуместно. Нечему здесь эволюционировать. Техника и тогда уже была великолепна. Тем более у гениальной Алонсо!! И не забывайте, что Алисия была слепа!!! И еще один момент: Жизель была больна! Об этом необходимо помнить. Поэтому резвиться, как Нуньес она не могла. Уланова-вот эталон на все времена,

[giselejesus]

All my favorite Giselles all together. I just missed Alessandra Ferri.

[mirthabarahona]

Alicia es la mejor, su ballet es más fino, detallado y laborioso, es una joya, en segundo lugar sería Marianela y tercero Bessmertnova

[kuripangui]

Such a wonderful performance of Marianela Núñez !!!

[TheLouisnavarrete]

Sorry, start with Spessitsiva and then work your way thru the great ones. Ulanova. Markova, Alonso, , Fracci, Makarova, Kirkland and

[ashleylavilla]

My favorite Giselle is Natalia Osipova, she looks so ethereal. Sadly it was not included here.

[татьянашилина-хь]

Нуньез, конечно самый лучший вариант. Физика отличная!
