This is footage of Bolshoi legend Ekaterina Maximova performing a solo to a mazurka by Russian composer Alexander Scriabin. Maximova seems so fresh and young and lovely ... I saw her at about the time of this film, guesting with her husband Vladimir Vassiliev in 'Giselle' at the Palais Garnier in Paris as a kid -- one of my all-time favourite ballet experiences. Enjoy!
