I love me some Marianela dont get me wrong but I admire her more as Myrtha , Gamzati , Black Swan . When she plays the antagonist and gives that disserning eyebrow its like you better watch out .

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.

I agree that her expressiveness in this role by far exceeds the others, and is certainly a great technician. But there's also something about Carla Fracci's performance that I've always loved too! I saw that film in the theater in the early 70's, and fell in love with both Giselle and Carla Fracci! So it may just be sentiment! I would love to see a comparison of all these dancers in the Mad Scene, though! For me, there's none better than Natalia Makarova.

Carla Fracci 1969 impressed me the most. She was brilliant, but also was her costume and that wonderful scenery. Not only a realistic water mill, but it had a turning water wheel. Fantastic.. It would be so lovely to see the rest of the ballet.

I saw Fracci and Bruhn live with ABT in 1968. She was unforgettable but it was her exquisite Act II that made her legend. Alonso was quite old in this film so it's a bit unfair to judge her technically, but you can see she has carried on the more stylised tradition of earlier years, especially in hands and portes de bra. Nunez is a great favourite of mine, a tremendous dancer, but I have to say that her prodigious technical abilities needed to be softened to do justice to the Romantic style. She danced this as powerfully as she would have danced Aurora or Sugar Plum Fairy or Odile. There was no fragility in sight. In this role, technique has to be subdued, concealed almost, to indicate the character's emotional fragility. But there's no denying that her security is a pleasure to watch.

To me Fracci is the best!! She embodies the peasant girl perfectly and her smile is contagious.

Carla Fracci performance is soooo beautiful

Alonso was 48 in this clip, Fracci, 33, Makarova 37, Bessmertova, 49, Nunez 34. I think it's worth considering where each ballerina was in not only her career but also her life. The 30 somethings are at the peak of their careers with excellent strength, stamina, and agility. Ballerinas in their late 40s are at the end of their careers after 30+ punishing years of training and dancing, as well as experiencing the reduced strength and flexibility of ageing bodies. The tempo of the music has been slowed to account for this. Marvelous all, but perhaps not fair to compare a 33 year-old dancer to a 49 year-old.

I was so lucky to see Fracci in the late 60's dance Giselle. And Makarova in the early '70's. They are my idols. I love Nunez as well. I really feel she is an innocent. Excited young girl. Beautiful dancing and musicality. I saw Alonso do a farewell performance in her late 60's, nearly totally blind. Incredible.

Fracci wins for best dancing -- and the waterwheel wins for best stage set. That was just phenomenal!

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!

49-летняя практически слепая Алисия Алонсо не делает себе поблажек ни в чем. Не пропущено и не упрощено ни одно па. Она делает двойные пируэты в обе стороны! Диагональ с тирбушонами просто великолепна - она прошла длинными скачками всю сцену на высоком релеве, не позволяя себе опуститься на полупальцы. Финальная диагональ с комбинацией вращений на большой скорости - как это вообще возможно сделать , не имея зрения? И при этом она потрясающе музыкальна и актерски точна. Фраччи заставляет забыть обо всем. Она говорит языком танца. настолько выразительны и в то же время естественны ее жесты и мимика. .Нуньес прекрасна. как всегда. но ее Жизель - озорная красотка, больше похожая на Китри. Макарова показалась мне манерной, Бессмертнову надо смотреть в других записях, более ранних времен. Оговорюсь, что это мое мнение, сложившееся после просмотра именно этих видео. Несомненно, все эти великолепные балерины своим творчеством вписали свое имя в энциклопедию мирового балета.

There’s a moment in the anime “Princess Tutu” where the top student in the class, Rue, practices dancing on one foot and it’s clear from her expression how actually difficult and painful it can be. Watching this it suddenly occurred to me the animation might’ve been a direct reference to this dance sequence in “Giselle”. I’d have to rewatch it to be certain (the entire soundtrack is public domain classical music so it’s possible). On another note, the costume design in each one is beautiful. I love seeing how each outfit captures the grace of twirling.

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!

This compilation really conveys some beautiful and talented Giselles. Each dancer made the role her own. Thank you. 💙🌼💙🌼💙

I agree. I see many aspects of the young woman Giselle in the creation of la Alonso. Her innocence, a spiritual kindness and love that could rise from the grave, a modesty that is betrayed if legs are showing off their altitude, and a fragility that could die of heartbreak. None of the other women look like heartbreak would kill them. They look like they would turn their back on the unfaithful man and just go find another. Somehow we know that there is no other man for Alonso’s Giselle.

Interesting. Bessmertnova dances the whole variation without giving a single look nor to the prince, nor to the mother, nor to the audience, she's dancing for herself as if she was marking in the studio. Marianela, that I love over any other dancer in many ballets, smiles way too much here, which looks unnatural and awkward. Also I don't understand the spanish-style port-de-bras in the pirouettes section, the arm on the hip it's ok but she makes it look like Paquita. Beginner mistake that you wouldn't expect from her.

Две первые Жизели - очень нежные, бесхитростные... очень юные, непосредственные, по-детски озорные... очень чистые... начиная с третьей балерины эти качества у Жизель пропадают... А в последнем танце у Жизель уже видны некоторые черты Кармен: осознание своей женской неотразимости, темпераментность и независимость... Имеет право быть и такое «прочтение» персонажа. Но мне ближе первый вариант.

All lovely dancers, but the costumes and set designs in the second one are incomparable.
