A perfect gem of technique and expression on the dancers' part...and filming and editing so it all synchronizes beautifully.

Splendide, un renouveau de la danse classique sans aucune faute, et même une expression nouvelle.

Sempre lo stesso, la sua giovinezza e la sua bravura sono intramontabile, grande Sergei Polinin

Quite possibly the most beautiful thing I've ever seen on YouTube.

gnossienne
n. a moment of awareness that someone you’ve known for years still has a private and mysterious inner life, and somewhere in the hallways of their personality is a door locked from the inside, a stairway leading to a wing of the house that you’ve never fully explored—an unfinished attic that will remain maddeningly unknowable to you, because ultimately neither of you has a map, or a master key, or any way of knowing exactly where you stand.-The Dictionary Obscure Sorrows

Satie, coming to life through this man... moving and aesthetically profound
