Nureyev

[kenjoneslee]

fluff around wrists have got to go as well...total visual distraction

[kenjoneslee]

the rear cabrioles have got to go....form was atrocious...front arm pumping up and down looked really really bad...form on the last pirouettes lacked precision...too much tension in face and upper body...some of the jumps were pretty good, such as double turns in air....the quick walk to stage left TOTALLY looked wimpy and gay...who the "f*&&k" gave the go on this choreography???

[CheekyChugs]

I love this solo from The Nutcracker. I saw the ENB do it last night, but there will never be another Nureyev. Such a great height in his jumps and his jetes are fantastic!

[Il00OOll]

Tatar genius

[SilvaKaroll]

Um dos melhores bailarinos de tds os tempos!!

[29wittich]

Ich sehe nur das SOLO, habe aber bei dem Video keinen Ton. Schade

[scoobydoo660]

thank u sooooo much i am in luv with a man who is dead but fab xxxxxx

[LiveAndBreatheBallet]

Yes, Nureyev was incredible. He was a great dancer and had wonderful stage presence. And yes, Barishnikov and Nureyev had their own styles and were different dancers. Personally, I prefer Misha but no one can deny Nureyev's talent.

[fstoraci]

Great video but for some reason the sound did not work. But I still was captivated:)

[Marijesu]

Rudy was unique... there will never be another like him.

[controvers]

[CaptainJenna7]

he's awesome but mikhail is better....to me anyway

[dagodancer1]

Consider the time period. Baryshnikov was a whole generation later. Technique improved alot between Nureyev's prime (the late 50s, early 60s) and Baryshnikov's prime (the mid to late 70s, early 80s). In a way, if there was no Nureyev, Vasiliev, Soloviev, Vladmirov etc. there wouldn't have been a Baryshnikov. It's not fair to compare a computer fom 1999 and a laptop from 2009. See what I mean?

[pediatrapaola]

yes my kind friend, but volodia vasiliev and yuri soloviev ae out of the time

[Squeaky1423]

Perhaps Baryshnikov's technique is preferred...and who doesn't love MIsha? However... Nureyev had a taller, more elegant body. What an absolutely gorgeous ballet dancer, wow!

[PhillipLWilcher]

He had so much charisma and presence - an artist of the highest order through and through - I would have paid to see him sweep a stage! What a marvellous ambassador for humankind he will be when future generations come to look back on our era. As Keats said: "A thing of beauty will reamian a joy forever...it will never pass into nothingness"

[philking58]

can someone tell me what this variation is please :)

[fieldgen]

i bet it's from sleeping beauty, the stage decoration looks a lot like it, but i'm not sure...

[99923821]

nutcracker variation :D

[tigereyes5]

it's the prince's / cavalier's variation from the nutcracker

[jamesacleary]

cavaliers variation from the nutcracker

Noureev is to dance what La Callas is to opera... Thanks so much for posting this!

[swanningaround]

Nureyev was technically brillant and sublime. Callas was a marketing phenomenon hyped up in the USA. There are plenty of superior sopranos who just did their job day after day, like Gundula Janowitz. Please don't even mention these two in the same breath. Only the great Nijinsky compares with Nureyev.

[andreifan]

Sorry,I really don't agree. We can compare La Callas and Noureev because they reach the same level of sublime, each one in its art. Let me not be with you,about that topic.

[ekeloefbusch]

Oh really? Have you ever seen Nijinsky dance?!

[navy0123]

i bet nijinsky sucks campared to nureyev and baryshnikov

[carlosrizo85]

no necesita sonido el hijo de puta...era un puto crack....

[yellow4521]

see clem zeleski!!!! nureyev was a big fan!!!

[Shawneeloulou]

Beautiful !!!

[88oxanna]

not only did nureyev dance in this performance but he also .. Produced .. & .. directed it .. +++ adding long lost male choreography which we all loved & appreciated so much improving the story line of the ballet ~~ it was a great loss when he died aged 53

[Ave88]

No sound, too bad. The dancing is amazing. What a genius he was
