A los fines de los 50's vi una película "Flamenco" donde Antonio baila algo similar y en el mismo lugar, en frente del Escorial. Esa película ya era vieja cuando la vi y era sólo de puros bailes españoles casi todos de flamenco con diferentes bailaores y en diferentes partes. Cómo me gustaría tener una copia de esa película. Fue la primera vez que vi y supe de Antonio.
I was fortunate enough to catch Antonio and his cousin Rosario performances at the City Center in the 60's in New York where Antonio choreographed his version of El Amor Brujo by de Falla. I have yet to see a better performance and choreography, and mind you, Antonio must have been over 50 years old. Rosarito's zapateado was glorious. She could do a pianissimo to fortissimo rhythmically, even at her age.
Tu canal es un verdadero homenaje al arte de Antonio... No había visto nunca este video, preferiría una interpretación más folk y no tan clásica, pero es muy interesante... gracias
no me ha gustado nada la interpretacion de la musica, sobre todo la 2ª sonata; 1º, esta musica es para clave, 2º, no es mucia romantica, pide 1 interpretacion vigorosa, agresiva y apasionada, el piano no da la talla. Hubiera sido mucho mejor 1 banda de heavy metal
@jewish1972 ,tienes razón,por cierto un fenómeno el niño pianista del concierto para piano y orq de Bet. Has escuchado la segunda sonata de A. Soler por Alicia de larrocha?, te la recomiendo.-
Franco did not care about Flamenco. As a matter of fact, he banned Flamenco from being demonstrated.. i.e. the golden era of operatic flamenco. (it was actually classical and regional on large stages)
Antonio deserved, but rarely received, his just honors for preserving historic and regional dances of Spain. Flamenco was all anyone cared about (particularly Franco), and Antonio was such an amazing flamenco artist. But I love this elegant 19th century dance. Thank you.
Actually Soler's is an 18th century composition and "Fandango" was an even older traditional Castilian dance, it was not Flamenco nor Andalusian dancing. That kind of dance was lost but it influenced Andalusian and Flamenco and now there is a "Fandango" in Flamenco tradition, same name but different thing.
Furthemore, Soler was born in Catalonia, like Granados, Albeniz and Vives. It is funny that some of the most interesting Spanish and Andalusian music has been composed by Catalans.
@silverwasser No.... not Castilian but Andalusian and even if Antonio here dances very classic... the style of this music requires other kind of dance much more folk... like some dances from Goya´s time.
Yes, the Bolero School was a precursor to ballet. So many spanish dancers was great ballerines, like Rosita Mauri & María Edo. Just before the great Pavlova's times, Rosa Mauri was prima ballerina in The Opera Theatre of Paris when Degas was famous by to paint nice ballerines in motion.

To show that ballet takes from several dance traditions. This is Andalusian, which a touch of a classical approach.
