It looks so easy. But it is a tremendous work and devotion behind it. He loves , you can se that he love dancing. But the discipline inbeded in every move is crystal clear. I respect and adore him .
You are so right. I recently saw a brief clip of him dancing- no one else there except for who was filming him. There was no orchestra. He did his leaps, etc and when he landed on the floor you could hear how loud he landed. I was talking to myself out loud: Misha! Your ankles! Your knees! Your cartilage, joints and tendons! I felt for him and the pain he would surely endure after years of this work. I just hoped for the best for him. I know there were times during performances that his physical therapist was waiting in the wings to fix him up in the few minutes he had before going back out on stage. And the surgeries. He loved the art but he paid a price for it and to give us performances that will never be replicated by anyone. Thank you Misha for sharing your many gifts.
I have to agree. Why don’t we promote our make ballet stars anymore?? Ask anyone to name a top male ballet dancer today and they would be hard-pressed to do so. This generation needs its own ballet stars to celebrate.
saw micha live first time in 1975 ,it was his italian debut ,did giselle in florence with our carla fracci .when micha did his second act variation people couldn't belive what they were seeing ,and me too.
Вот именно танцором, а не танцовщиком, Барышников был и остаётся преимущественно танцором современного стиля, балет - это искусство поцелованных Богом, он предъявляет к своим исполнителям слишком много требований, которым Барышников не соответствует.
@Brenda Rawlins: Well said. He doesn't remind me of Gene Kelly. He tunes his extraordinary instrument to dance Balanchine and the result is sublime artistry..
They are both amazing geniuses, each in a different dance discipline, but they both share the quality of fusing amazing athleticism with an unsurpassed ability of translating music into movement. And both drenched in charm.
infact never asked you if and when you saw micha live .l was lucky having seen him at his top in many occasions since 1975 till 79 ,recently refused to see him in his actual repertoire ,really didn't feel.
he's very good technically. Beautiful to watch. So precise. However, the movement was meant to be more "throw away" and nonchalant . Fred, Gene Kelly...ya like that with a little wiz bang thrown in in between. If it's too technical it misses the point.
He is the best!
Every of his movement is so perfect.
Absolutely brilliant ❤❤❤ the BEST!!!😊
How beautiful!

Of course if looks easy. It’s hard work, however the end result is supposed to be clothes in a seemingly easy gracefulness.
@@emerybayblues ( I know, I was in ballet school, long long time ago, but the essence is the same today too )
wow! How interesting to read all that. What an art is ballet!
Wow. Just wow. He seems completely weightless, as he flies and then seems to land like a feather. What a master, and a joy to watch.
A phenomenon, so many years later and he still stays unsurpassed!

Absolutely true!

WOW!! Misha is simply astonishing! *o* Speechless! He IS the music.. !
Stephanie Cruvant yes!
Such excellent timing!
My God this is such a treat!
Marvelous!
Amazing
No se puede ser mas perfecto,es mi heroe.
Absolute perfection. Darn it, I always dreamt I could dance like him. Watching him is the next best thing.
In Baryshnikov music and movement are one and the same thing. And he makes it look so easy. How can he do that?
he just flies!
Be still my heart....
Non ho parole!
С днем рождения в январе! БРАВО Happy B-day!

sometime l suspect we waste too much time ranting about mediocre nowadays dancer and forget who were really great dancers .

Simply the best!!!

i did not have that occasion in here. and you know i've not seen guys so often or precisely.
He reminds me so much of Gene Kelly here...

I mean he's stellar but... Idk why there's something that irks me about this choreography
infact never asked you if and when you saw micha live .l was lucky having seen him at his top in many occasions since 1975 till 79 ,recently refused to see him in his actual repertoire ,really didn't feel.
Great dancers Who chose political Freedom in order to. Dance in the most free way
surely.

Totally agree.
Барышник останется барышником, это он все сделал для "друга" Годунова дабы быстрее избавиться от соперника
