Lully Chaconne d´ Arlequin & Gigue from Baltic Baroque / Maltizov

[NihilTico]

It is ironic, to me this is Lully's most beautiful work and it is for the harlequin!

[yutubeporn]

Harlequino!

[BackSideOFFThemoon]

lost for words...

[TheJbach]

Wonderful musicians!!! 

[Malebody9]

un'arlechino stupendo! bravissimo. galantissimo e allegro simultaneo!!

[JoelvanLennep]

This chaconne also was set by Robert de Visee for theorbo.

[Mystep]

I wonder how many modern dance moves have their origins in these old dances.

For my 18th Birthday, my grandfather invited me and my family to Italy. He said he'd give me a surprise for my 18th birthday. I thought he'd give me a lamborghini or something cool. However, it turned out that he hired six silly Harlequins and his musical crew to his mansion to perform a show for me. After the show he asked me how did I like it, I said: " Thanks, grandpa, it was really a surprise to me. I didn't expect it at all. I think I will never forget how did I celebrate my 18 b-day."

SCARAMOUCH...SCARAMOUCH

this is ridiculous...

[biofer3]

Very cute boy dancing. I have seen many times. What is Dance Company is this?

[1y]

Yes. All art creations are not from Chicago ;-)

[LazlosPlane]

They're NOT???

[HOT5PUR1]

Jean Baptiste Lully was the court appointed composer at the court of King Louis XIV and the dance's shown in the video can be probably dated from that era!

[BethDiane]

Something about that Harlequin reminds me of Dick van Dyke as Raggedy Andy in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

[peymaania]

All this looks just like another Prancing Fag and Pony Show!

[franchsky6969]

很好看哟！

[lichtbroeder]

His dancing is SUPPOSED to be silly. The character is Harlequin, a comic, silly character.

[sibionic]

His dancing is just plain silly, the move with the hat says 'Chicago' not versailles

[DarkLoveFashion]

Tienes razon.

[greentree24]

Is that supposed to be a jester dancing?

Very nice music.

[lent77cv]

SUBLIME!

[juhuruhu]

Sehr schön!

[DrHanLecter]

This is a beautiful video! Nice to see the dance of the Arlequin. I think the woman is also a character of the Comedia dell' arte. I think she is Colombina, but I'm not sure.

[amw62]

Yes DrHanLecter, you're right: she's Colombina, a Commedia dell'Arte character!!

[Mystep]

Wow! You'll unfortunately never see this on "Dancing with the Stars"...

[kyuupii]

[dorisboy52]

tres charmante...

[classicalsteve]

Very nice video. Lully is one of the most underrated of composers.

[hell0hkitty]

i love this piece, i love ittttt!!!!!

[jacquillo]

very nice !

[niklasgreve]

Very nice! Thanks for sharing.

[JeromeTenor]

Delicious! I have a doubt : are all the man's dance steps really academic ? :)

[braken1980]

Je pense que la fantaisie de ses pas sied au personnage de la commedia dell'arte qu'il incarne : ils sont donc tout relativement académiques.

[rabulio]

The chaconne des scaramouches trivelins et arlequins is played as a prologue in the piece of lully& moliere Le bourgeois gentilomme, l'm not sure if ths steps are academic or not but it doesn't matter since Arlequin is a character of the comedia dell' arte and he plays the fool while dancing

[HARMONICO101]

I believe mostly, only because I have seen the same steps done by a different group.

[StaffanSwede]

A lovely performance. Thanks for posting this video.
