Vladimir Vasiliev was a legendary Soviet-era dancer, one of the most influential dancers of the 20th Century. Although not as well known as Mikhail Baryshnikov or Rudolf Nureyev in the West, many critics considered Vasiliev their equal. Vasiliev made significant contributions to the development of males in ballet, and he embodied the strength of the Bolshoi men. He inspired younger dancers such as American Ballet Theatre’s Herman Cornejo and Paris Opera Ballet’s Mathias Heymann. Russian choreographer Fyodor Lopukhov called Vasiliev “God of the dance.” In this video, I focus on two of his variations to shed some light on what made him a one-of-a-kind artist. • Thanks to Stephen Nelson for many helpful comments. • Sources • Videos • Maximova and Vasiliev Don Quixote Pas de Deux, xxxFreyjaxxx YouTube channel: • DON QUIXOTE (Maximova-Vasiliev, 1972) • Vasiliev in Spartacus, Maximova Vasiliev-Duet YouTube channel, from Katia et Volodia, Medici.tv • • Vladimir Vasiliev - SPARTACUS • Maximova fouettés in Don Quixote, russianballetvideos2 YouTube channel: • Video • Angel Corella Don Quixote pirouettes, American Ballet Theatre Now, 2002, Image Entertainment • Mikhail Baryshnikov, The Turning Point, Anchor Bay, 2005 • Vasiliev in Giselle, gramilano YouTube channel: • Giselle - Carla Fracci and Vladimir V... • Photos • Vasiliev Spartacus thumbnail, Bolshoi Theatre website • Vasiliev photo in studio, ITAR-TASS News Agency/Almay Stock Photo • Vasiliev as a student, 3 photos, Melmoth blog • https://melmoth.blog/ • Maximova and Vasiliev as students, 2 photos, Melmoth blog • Vasiliev in Narcissus and Echo, Alchetron.com • Baryshnikov in Giselle, Chicago, 1978, Vladimir Bliokh • Maximova and Vasiliev, Wikimedia Commons, July 28, 1964, Stoyan Lefedzhiev • Maximova and Vasilyev, Don Quixote, Bolshoi Theater, Wikipedia, RIA Novosti archive, image #503726/G.
