Watched this again. Just delightful. No gimmicks no technical extremes and so musical. I'm a real fan of Martine!

This was from my era...love this pas de deux and these two.

Their arms and legs... so so long and full of musicality... so gorgeous and they are still the top fine produce of classical fine arts. 🈵🅰🈵❗

Prima d'ora, non vidi mai la "prima donna" offrire un fiore al partner. Gesto molto delicato e, nel contempo, commovente con il quale ha, di fatto, voluto condividere il suo successo. Come dire: "Ho danzato bene grazie a te che hai saputo condurmi così magnificamente"! Musica stupenda, coreografia eccellente, sincronismo perfetto. Non ho parole: bravissimi entrambi!

Bissell was the first guy I've ever seen to do the a la seconde pull in to passe pirouette...after class at SAB I saw him do 10 turns no problem that way. That was in about '79 or '80.

He is absolutely marvelous dancer!

I was fortunate enough to live in the NYC area when Martine was coming into her prime, and I thought her partnership with Patrick was everything a ballet partnership should be. Even with the great artists and technicians we have now so many years later, no one has ever embodied the music and the joy of dancing to it and fulfilling it better than van Hamel. I wish we had more footage of her, but this always struck me as this partnership's signature piece and I'm so thankful it's been posted here. I have this perf but on on VHS and it's getting hard to find players! Thank you, thank you, thank you for uploading!

Gorgeous music, choreography, and dancing. Wonderful to watch!

im only one minute in and am already bowled over by miss van hamel's spatial fluidity. goodness, shes so lovely!

I saw Ms Hamel dance and she was sheer perfection and beauty on the stage, what a pleasure to see such talented dancers

A most romantic ballet...music, dance, and story!

The best pas de deux in the world! The dance is so brilliant!!! Thank you, great artists!!!

Excellent, so beautiful. Thank you!

Wonderful.couple and performance. Martine has so much class and elegance.great partner, music, costumes too!

Martine Van Hammel! National Ballet School trained, so strong! Both fantastic! Epic performance!

There was a National Ballet auditioner who was turned down by the National Ballet, but later became Balanchine's wife; muse and lead dancer. Sometimes the National Ballet gets it right and sometimes they don't....just like the rest of us in life.

This is the very definition of a bravura performance... absolutely magnificent in every way!

Bravo bravo bravo bravo bravo

Lindos. Maravilhosos. BRAVO. BRAVISSIMO

Martine lovely strong elegant and not a "starving hunting dog"

Good gracious, those balances!

Wonderful. Magnificent dancers, gorgeous costumes, exciting choreography and thrilling music. Who could ask for more!

So beautiful bravo.

Beautiful line between Martine and Patrick ! He was gone too soon . ✌️ ☮️

Che meravigliosa coppia di stelle del balletto internazionale 🌟🌟! Martine van Hamel e Patrick Bissell sono come due creature mitiche uscite da una bellissima fiaba romantica permeata ed accompagnata dalle straordinaria musica della Sylvia di Leo Delibes. Ogni oggettivo usato per descriverli, anche quelli di ordine superlativo , sarebbe troppo poco in relazione alla loro abilità tecnica e alle loro capacità interpretative 🏆 per cui non rimane che ammirarLi tacendo, consapevoli di ricevere da loro un dono che renderà la nostra vita migliore di prima. Grazie ragazzi ❤❤ e a Te unico ed irripetibile Patrick un saluto di cuore 🤗 ovunque la Tua tormentata anima ora si trovi, nascosta ai nostri occhi terreni 💖

Incredible dancing. Unbelievable perfection. Astonishingly beautiful. Martine van Hamel is a great artist.

And Patrick Bissell too, they Fit very well together. Elegance, class, poise. Wonderful costumes too.

Van Hamel is a gorgeous and precise dancer

Maravilloso, espectacular Bendiciones⚘⚘⚘⚘

Hoje, depois de 5 anos (e depois de quase 30 anos de ter visto pela primeira vez), repito o encantamento em ver essa dupla maravilhosa nessa linda coreografia. Que leveza e prazer de dançar nos transmite Martine van Hamel! Melhor Sílvia que já asisiti!

Amazing. Most satisfying version of this pas de deax. My spirit flys.

What a technical brick house that woman was.

Delibes, plus Balanchine. A marriage made of pleasure.

WOW ..Le danseur assure !!

The best Sylvia ever!!! Amazing!!!

Exquisite and wonderful--thanks so very much.

Very beautiful, lots of class, innate great elegance, fits so well the lovely 19th c. music. Patrick is also a great dancer too, they fit very well together. Beautiful couple! Thank you for sharing this video with, such a beautiful soul nourishing art.

This makes me so nostalgic for dancers like Martine, who never sacrificed musicality and style for technical showoffiness. Where are those dancers now?

This was just spectacular.

Их исполнение доставляет такое наслаждение!!! Браво!!!

Magique, comme la danse..et envoutante, comme la jolie musique de Leo Delibes..

Esemplificazione del complesso in naturalezza in questo balletto si veda ad esempio il mantenimento della stazione obliqua sollevata da terra e le brevissime velocizzazioni delle sforbiciata.Molto bravi.Bighin GIULIO RENZO

Una de las mas elegantes bailarinas, much a classes. one of the most elegant, classy, poised dancers.

Balletto magnifico che riempie i nostri sensi lasciandoci magnificamente appagati. Straordinari i quattro interpreti principali, tutti dotati di grandissima tecnica e di intensa capacità artistica. Rodkin sempre di più da conferma di essere tra i migliori ballerini maschili a livello internazionale. Grazie Bolshoi ❤️

She had the most beautiful straight back and shoulders!

BLASTED ADVERT! Right in the middle of her dance - she is literally in mid-air when it cut her off. This is appalling and the first time I’ve seen an advert in this beautiful pas de deux. Disgusting. All for a few pennies.

Royal Ballet? They do Balanchine as badly as any other major company on earth, including the horrid Mariinsky now. What a joke!

I danced with her in my early years when she was with the Washington Ballet and Kevin McKinsey was our Associate Artistic director at the time. Martin has always been a very clean and classical dancer but very boring to watch,

Фигня! Смотреть не на что!!!

Saw them dance many times in the late 70s & 80s, always a thrill. Van Hamel, never less than divine. Bissell, a true danseur noble who died too young of drug addiction.
