Tout est d'une beauté stupéfiante dans ses deux minutes, la musique de Lully pleine de rythme, de candeur et de la simple joie du mouvement. Le grâce tournoyante et la précision des danseurs dans leur posture et dans leur synchronicité. La fluidité des étoffes qui suivent leurs mouvements. Le public qui ne peut contenir sa joie avant la fin du morceau. J'ai l'impression que l'on y touche quelque de primordial dans notre condition d'êtres sensibles, on pourrait y voir la célébration de la vie elle-même, comme si tout était réconcilié l'espace d'un éphémère et inestimable instant
I am in awe of how still they remained in the opening. I didn't see any movement whatsoever, I thought it was a picture! Remaining that still in such positions itself is must take a lot of control and dedication. Bravo!
I''m afraid it is actually a still.. You can see the dancer most to the left, whose right foot is already raised, and his cloak already is motion by it. Indeed, the inclined angles of several of the cloaks of the performers suggest the very same: if the footage were moving, their cloaks would be bound by the laws of physics to move also
I never like music videos with a still picture (or a slide gallery) during the whole video. So I was about to click away but then they started dancing. But as has been remarked: it's a still those first few seconds...
la belle musique baroque française dans toute sa grandeur, et un très joli ballet. Il me semble entendre le son d'un théorbe ou d'une mandore....superbe !
Oui, Rameau, la sua produzione è vastissima, sono riuscita a procurarmi solo Hippolyte et Aricie, ma delle Indes Galantes conosco solo qualche brano. E qualche sonata al clavicembalo ; i suoi CD non si trovano. Trovo giusto che dopo secoli di dimenticanza abbia avuto l'attenzione del pubblico. Comunque lo stile dei due musicisti è molto simile, ascoltandoli mi sento trasportata alla corte del Re Sole 🌞
Cela peut paraitre stupide ou carrément nounouille mais chaque fois que je regarde cet extrait j'ai des larmes d'émotion que je ne saurai expliquer qui me montent aux yeux...🙄🤗😪
@@Smallpotato1965 And people in San Francisco have their own forms of entertainment too, right? I think this is a wonderful an sweet thought (entertainment as a relief), but I think ballet in this form was mostly for people in court. Everything was centered around the king, so I imagine the entertainment was mostly for him. Oh, the horror of making a misstep at court, dancing with the king! The stress was probably for the dancers, but then again, they weren't the ones living in poverty...
One could imagine the youthful Louis XIV dancing the more limited role of the golden figure, the center of the ballet, as he is the center of the country.
On the very last second of this video, we can see the conductor. He looks like very much Hervé Niquet, so the orchestra may well be Le Concert Spirituel.
From the website link posted by Les Malins Plaisirs: “Les Amants Magnifiques, comédie-ballet en cinq actes de Molière et Lully par Les Malins Plaisirs, Le Concert Spirituel et la compagnie de danse L’Éventail.” The orchestra is led by Hervé Niquet. The dancer portraying Apollon is Artur Zakirov. (Scroll down in the comments for the link to the full performance of Les Amants Magnifiques.)
Although this video beats the River Dance style stuff you usually see called French baroque ballet, it's too bad the videos of the dances in the 1653 "Ballet de la nuict" reconstruction are so bad. I wish they'd stuck to choreography like in the movie instead of hiring a choreographer who must have been educated in the pre-1989 East German school of staging.
Entrancing! The best Baroque performance I've seen.
TROP BEAU ! Merci Lully, merci Louis XIV !!!
C'était la France qui rayonnait !

Merci à vous pour ce témoignage poignant et tellement réaliste. Nous en avons besoin par les temps qui courent.
Lovely . . . lovely, indeed . . . and the Apollo (if Apollo he be - he certainly looked Apollonic) was also lovely. Bravo!
Ce ballet est exceptionnel tant dans la chorégraphie que la musique ,c'est plein d'entrain, de grâce et de grandeur, cela est beau.😀❤🌞
Quelle grâce ! Et perfection bravo les danseurs !
Vive le baroque !
The golden dancer (Apollo) was originally played by young king Louis XIV at French court.
Long time i hadn't seen a ballet with a choreography and costumes I found beautiful and charming.
Brilliantly Preformed
I am in awe of how still they remained in the opening. I didn't see any movement whatsoever, I thought it was a picture! Remaining that still in such positions itself is must take a lot of control and dedication. Bravo!
OpenMusic That was precisely my impression.

I think that's a still. But the transition is flawless

Thought the same
J'aurais tellement aimé danser ces pièces, je les regarderais pendant des heures...et la musique, magnifique !
la belle musique baroque française dans toute sa grandeur, et un très joli ballet. Il me semble entendre le son d'un théorbe ou d'une mandore....superbe !
È molto importante che queste musiche siano eseguite con strumenti d'epoca
PLAISIR TOTAL....MERCI...
Me fascina 😊❤
Enthousiasmant ! La meilleure interprétation baroque que j'ai vue.
Merveilleuse danse baroque. Lully, le plus grand musicien du Grand Siècle !
Anche Rameau non era male

@@Cristina4175 MERCI ma très chère!!! Tanti auguri per il brutto momento che stiamo passando tutti
@@ritanicosia J'adore. Da vero , anche qui in Argentina. La bella musica è gran compagnia As-toi vu Le Roi Danse?
The Great King Louis as it was...
Mon Dieu, quelle beauté !❤❤❤
Cela peut paraitre stupide ou carrément nounouille mais chaque fois que je regarde cet extrait j'ai des larmes d'émotion que je ne saurai expliquer qui me montent aux yeux...🙄🤗😪
Et bien ! Non ! Vous êtes tout simplement sensible au beau.
Lully et Louis XIV ont été des génies.
La musique du Barroque me fait ça, aussi.
Idem !
alors on est deux nounouilles et je pense qu'on n'est pas les seuls c'est tellement beau ! ils sont merveilleux !
The music of the French baroque is unsurpassed.
Beautiful, elegant, and powerful. It looked like Louis xiv, the Sun King, dancing surrounded by his court.
que c'est beau !
Magnifique! 👏👏👏👏💖💖💖💖💖
1:52 Him glowing in the darkness is absolutely beautiful
Yes, indeed! A very picturesque scene worthy of the brush of a true master.
What a joyous celebration.❤💛🌻
Greetings from Poland from a lover of baroque music
Quelle beauté ! magnifique !
this is absolutely delightful
I always think that the people of those times needed this entertainment as a relief from dirt, stress, and uncertainty of their world.
Hah! 'Dirt and stress and uncertainty of their world'... Have you been on the streets of San Francisco, lately? Los Angeles?
@@Smallpotato1965 And people in San Francisco have their own forms of entertainment too, right?

Or maybe just to have fun.
The only people who had access to "this entertainment" were the nobility.
@@dion1949 Them especially.
Que dire d'autre que tout est très beau (musique, danse, costumes, etc.)
I agree very much
tout est dit
hélas la video n'est pas de la même qualité
@@tinasaturn Mi accontento di ciò che si vede, mi sembra stupendo 😳🌞
@@tinasaturn La vidéo a ses instants de grâce.
Cuánta belleza! Una obra de arte en 1 '50" Gracias por tu trabajo saludos

No es un entretenimiento
Es ARTE
el arte es para elevar el espíritu . Saludos
magnifique ☀️🥰
Haughty, regal, and graceful - a joy for the ear and eye!
Magnificent! They move around him like planets around the Sun.
That's the idea of this ballet : Louis XIV the Sun King and his courtiers are the planets
The sun was indeed the king
À symbol of the French Monarchy during the 17th century
Long live to the king!
Pura armonia. Pura bellezza.
Majestically beautiful !
BRAVO! 👏👏👏👏👏
Merci aux danseurs, aux musiciens et au grand Hervé Niquet. De quel spectacle est issue cette merveille ?
El rey sol tenia un gusto exquisito por la buena música y la danza
Il re si poteva permettere questo ed altro
Very good
Delicada y maravillosa joya del barroco francés!!!!!!!!!!!

Could you please provide some info about the dance company and in particular the lead dancer. WHO IS HE?
Artur Zakirov
Un bellissimo minuetto
Very elegant and precise.
fantastic Lully!!Wonderful ballet!!
What a great performance
Magnificent music!

Qué maravilla!
Förtrollande vacker dans och musik, elegant i all sin ära!
Dommage pour les deux secondes manquantes à la fin 😅
French hot men...magnifique! ❤
Великолепно!
if Louis XIV was alive today he surely would have loved to have little lights in his costume
They already did a Bal des ardents in 1393, though in those days technical limitations required that the entire costume be set on fire. =D
@@tonyvillamotte4339 maybe better to use fireflies than candles ;-) or little mirrors reflecting a light from the front.
magnifique!
Quelle était belle, la France ...
Спасибо
I love this.
But could have a little more about the context of the performance? Where, what etc?
La compagnie l'éventail
I could watch this for ever and ever !!!
Skvostné, veľmi sa mi to páči.
pravda, naozaj nadherne
Quel bonheur
Los bailarines son geniales!
Delightful but WHO is performing the music?
The best master j b lully eternal
Love it!
Love that modern style sun king (?)costume!!
Stupendo musicista
What production is this? And what orchestra? Everything is splendid!

Y viva lully!!!
Que lindo!!!!!
Lovely
Charmant!
May I use your wonderful video during the concert at Hanover Music University in germany?
Ne célébrez pas le talent. Célébrez le travail.
What is the name of the principal dancer?
Although this video beats the River Dance style stuff you usually see called French baroque ballet, it's too bad the videos of the dances in the 1653 "Ballet de la nuict" reconstruction are so bad. I wish they'd stuck to choreography like in the movie instead of hiring a choreographer who must have been educated in the pre-1989 East German school of staging.
All old things are the best
perfection
The lead male dancer has an uncanny resemblance to Nureyev!
His name is Artour Zakirov, a Russian dancer living in France.
I thought exactly the same thing!
Precioso
