Dear MakarovaFan, My most treasured video - you know the kind of stuff you would grab first if the house was in flames - is a video of Maximova-Vasiliev in act 2 of Giselle. Try your very best to get hold of that one! Magnificent stuff indeed. I took it from the TV so mine is not a bought tape. It is so beautiful I get tears in my eyes every time I see it. I agree with you, one could just fall in love with Vasiliev, he is the most perfect Albrecht I have ever seen... And Maximova is a dream come true. :unsure::wink:

have you tried amazon?

otherwise video artists international might have a site, i'm not too sure.

maybe others have tips here.

or the kultur tapes from kultur's site.

sad to say when these things pass their first year or so of distribution they sometimes disappear from the lists.

Pamela,

Wow - you have video of Vasiliev and Maximova dancing Act II of GISELLE?! It must be gorgeous. Years ago I was watching a ballet documentary and saw a clip of them dancing from Act I and they were breath-taking. The film looked like it was made in the '70's. Talk about two hearts beating as one!

The New York Public Library has an extensive video dance collection, so I'll try my luck there.

Melissa
