Best of Rudolf Nureyev - The Greatest Male Ballet Dancer -
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 16 มี.ค. 2021
- Today (3/17) is the birthday of legendary dancer Rudolf Nureyev.
Nureyev was born on a Trans-Siberian train near Irkutsk, Siberia, Soviet Union to a Bashkir-Tatar family. He began his early career with the company that in the Soviet era was called the Kirov Ballet (now called by its original name, the Mariinsky Ballet) in Leningrad. He defected from the Soviet Union to the West in 1961, despite KGB efforts to stop him. This was the first defection of a Soviet artist during the Cold War, and it created an international sensation. He went on to dance with The Royal Ballet in London and from 1983 to 1989 served as director of the Paris Opera Ballet. In addition to his technical prowess, Nureyev was an accomplished choreographer serving as the chief choreographer of the Paris Opera Ballet. He produced his own interpretations of numerous classical works, including Swan Lake, Giselle, and La Bayadère.

В 89, кажется году, я уснула перед телевизором и поздно ночью проснулась. Шла трансляция из театра, когда Нуриев приехал в Россию и выступал, а может это была ранняя его запись. Открыла глаза и увидела его ноги, ступни, как он перебирал ими, лилась чарующая музыка, и я как завороженная смотрела на эти движения ног, талантливого танцора. Это было волшебно.
This man had no equal. He shines alone.
I saw Baryshnikov too, he was much more graceful for me.
Rudi died when I was in my first year of University. I didn't pay any notice then, being too involved with studies, etc. I was doing ballet when I was young and loved it, but as we lived in a small town there was nowhere to go even near me to study it. Being older now, as I watch him, I think of the dedication it takes to finely tune all those moves. It is a pleasure to watch him now. I nursed many people through AIDS and watched them die, and it is a tragedy he died from this horrid, ongoing disease which still ravages the world today. RIP - you are the greatest male ballet dancer of all time, and were taken too soon xxxx
As a child I was in the orchestra pit ( with my dad) and saw the sweat dripping over his make up. I'll never forget!💕
How fun for you to see behind the scenes of all that hard work and excellence. Most people just think of ballet as a little light hearted dancing--but these dancers are athletes trianing their muscles for beautiful movement. It takes a lot of discipline and hard work to make it look so natural and effortless as Nureyev.
I danced with him and the Boston Ballet. Extravagant fascinating character.
Wow! Please describe a little more of his personality off stage 🙏🏾
Congratulations Elsa from Argentina
How amazing is that!
Well done.
Wow really what was that like
Artistic genius for the sake of art is so wonderful. No politics. Just creative genius expressing human potential.
Yes. And I am ever so full of Gratitude, Dear, Sweet Rudick
Yes. My dear sweet Rudick
Exactly
I saw him in London in Prokovief Romeo and Juilet
He was over 40 then but he was still graceful and danced lyrically.
He finished dancing shortly after
I'll never forget him and was so pleased to have seen him.
London 1977, I attended his Romeo & Juilet production that he choreographed and stared in. Was this the same production?
@@zoomby4380 I think so
But I made sure I saw him and I was so pleased
I saw him do Romeo and Juliet in London too. I’m not a big Prokofiev fan, too much standing around posturing.
もう半世紀前，初めてヌレエフの踊りを見た時からファンになりました。
TVの中の彼は誰よりも基本のパに忠実で，それまではフォームが崩れても女性のダンサーほど厳格に見られることがなかったような男性のパフォーマンスと思っていたのですがそれは間違いだとはっきりわかりました。
家庭にビデオ再生機が普及して真っ先に買ったのはジゼルのビデオテープです。
アルブレヒトを彼ほどステキに踊れるのはウィーンのマラーホフくらいだと今でも思っています。
映画「バレンチノ」も何度も映画館に観に行って痺れました。
病気で寿命を縮めたのが本当に残念です。
Rudolph Nureyev danced with me for about 3 whole minutes :) back in 1977 when he came to Perth. He came to a nightclub called Connections, and the music was disco. Memory of which song it was is fading, but I think a Donna Summer one. It was a special moment for me as he circulated and picked a few people to dance with.
That’s so amazing!!❤❤
❤❤❤❤❤
Good good!❤
I was the last dancer, I wore a silver lame wide turtle neck tank, and he exclaimed that he wanted to climb in there, there he would ride around the rest of the night living a dream, he felt the shirt, that it was that scratchy metal fiber that pierced his skin, "scratchy" he said, got me swooning ive been around the hottest people in the world, he was in the top sexiest, most charismatic, most personable, and most electric yet full of imperfections person that anyone could see that he was always pulled away into the next softer shirt on a sexy back of a person, because this was before AIDS. The legend must be celebrated, the kids today I weep for, they will never know a love like his, of total fearless and full of confidence panache.
What a memory! I saw him as a member of the audience and that was pretty exciting. I had a high fever that night but wasn't about to give up my chance to see Nureyev. Hope I didn't infect anyone with a serious illness that night.
I was fortunate enough to have been in London when he was dancing Marguerite and Armand with Fonteyn at Covent Garden. It was one of the most beautiful experiences of my 77 years of life.
I was lucky enough to see Fonteyn and Nureyev dance Swan Lake at The Met when I was much younger. I danced for many years until my left leg was crushed under the back wheel of a truck, but the habits and the way we, as dancers, move last a lifetime. Even now, when I sit, my feet are turned out, and sometimes one of them thinks it's back en pointe. I have danced since the crash crunch left leg thing, though never again in toe shoes. I moved into the folk world and it was a joy, but once having danced on stage in costume as a ballerina, the rest pales. Nureyev is one of the reasons ballet has a magic to it that no other dance tradition can boast. I think it's because of the insane discipline and time it takes to become someone like Nureyev or Baryshnikov, or Zakharova or Bolle or Fonteyn. The nuances, the acting, the joy of movement when the world recedes, your feet are no longer there and the dance is the only thing, lifting the soul up and taking flight, that's ballet.

Cuanto siento tu accidente bailarina, yo a los 73 , si me caí sonsamente y me saqué la rodilla derecha de lugar, desde entonces masajes para caminar, y me lamenté de un desplazamiento de rodilla, oh! Perdón, se lo q sientes, más si eres de la vieja escuela. Mi honra y aplausos.
He was my idol during my ballet years. Got to see him with Canadian Ballet in Philly in Swan Lake. He was so graceful, I tear up every time I watch him.
Mi spiace ma per me a parte il fisico statuario non si può paragonare Bolle a Barishnikov ne soprattutto a l inarrivabile Nureyef !!!
How beautifully you write about the magic of the ballet. Thank you, it was a pleasure to read your description. It was bad luck for you with the accident but your memories are so real, so strong and no one can ever take them from you or have such a store of emotion as they have given you.
I saw him give a rare performance on opening night of the Paris Ballet in Los Angeles in 1986 or 1987. He was the Director and gave us opening nighters a rare treat. He was so gracious and appreciative of the standing ovation. I was in the 4th row and will never forget the look on his beautiful face.
The others are dancers, he was the artist.
"Гаянэ" - не могу найти слов - как необыкновенны, захватывающи движения рук, ног Рудика. Потрясающе исполненный танец.
Браво!!!
Вот это подборка, можно сойти с ума! Дня не могу прожить, чтобы не посмотреть это видио!!!
Мое удовольствие и печаль.
Beautiful. No one in the world of his calibre. Unbelievable talent for ballet.
I saw him dance in the 80’s in London. His presence filled the theatre like magic.
The male body doesn’t get much more beautiful, athletic, or graceful than Mr. Nureyev’s at his peak.
Sorry but Baryshnikov is unbeatable
I saw him to as a child....Speachless...and breathtaking.....👏👏👏
Such grace AND talent! Noticeable is his incredible physical control. Each move is precise and deliberate and not once is he off balance in any way. His posture and carriage are unequalled by any other ballet dancer, female or male
Meraviglioso ..
Perfezione assoluta😅
While watching him, I caught myself literally holding my breath. I wonder, is that where the term, “breathtaking,” comes from? I mean, just look at him!
Неповторимый,потрясающий танцор !Моё почтение и уважение ,обожаю!
Nureyev -a powerful, magical presence that went beyond the beauty of the dance. We will never know another like him . Annette
The greatest of all time
I was lucky enough to see him dance live also. I was about 15 and saw him at the convent garden opera house. I was mesmerized. After he sat in the ticket booth and people lined up to get his autograph. When it was my turn I politely and timidly asked him for his autograph. He smiled at me and scribbled on on my entrance ticket. To this day I don’t know why he smiled at me. Probably because I looked so scared. Or maybe because I didn’t just shove my price of paper at him.
Он почувствовал родную душу!
I love to hear stories like yours, thanks for sharing❤❤
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Grazie Rudolf 💐 sei e sarai per sempre una carezza nell'anima umana.❤
The performance with the chair is surreal - mesmerizing. Like he's not of this earth.
I cried. Bless you and bless the dance. May it live forever.
Красив, а движения его шедевр, браво!
There will never be another. No one could even come close. RIP beautiful prince.
❤
Rudolf Nureyev,was für ein großartiger Tänzer,reine Magie.Rudolf wir vergessen Dich nie.
Vielen Dank für`s posten.
Ich habe eine Biografie - schön.❤
The Afternoon of a Faun! That's Nijinsky's choreography! I never thought I would see it danced! I did not realize that Nureyev had done it as well. It is fitting that he did. Thank you for posting this. I am in tears.
Корсар Нуреева это не танец, это полёт... магнетизм и эмоциональность...
Нуреев - корсар номер 1 !всех времен и народов.Еще его называли - летающий татарин ! ( Действительно он просто зависает в воздухе) Руди как ты это делаешь?! Браво Руди ❤❤❤
I took my son to see Nureyev dance "The Nut Cracker " at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles. My young son was thrilled with the experience. It was Nureyev's amazing performance that sold him on ballet. One of a kind, Nureyev lives on in the hearts of those who saw him dance. Thank you for this wonderful video. ❤
Видение розы. -
сколько нежности, любви, красоты, так возможно только у Рудольфа .Потрясает эмоциями.
Незабываемо
Красив как ангел! Удивительное, фантастическое, сногсшибательное обаяние, море обаяния! Красота внешняя, гениальный талант, ум - всё это в нём, природа щедро одарила его. Такое совершенство! Кошачья пластика. Красивое, гармонично сложенное тело. Восхитительно!
So true!
Нуреев не танцор, он клоун и пьяница
Это счастье видеть Рудольфа Нуриева красив как ангел.❤
Da, is Germania!❤
His gracefulness and precision are unmatched.
Even in 2023...........PURE MAGIC!
И в 2024 году, тоже волшебство !
He was a genius as a dancer and choreographer, and his presence was felt, I was very lucky to see him dance on many occasion lucky me ! Sharon Smithers
Unrivaled talent! Precise. Graceful. If you can, take the time to look up his grave. It’s a magnificent memorial to this artist.
Had he been a blues singer there would be a legend he made a deal with the devil at a crossroads…so magnificent.
Le Dieu de la danse classique c'est lui est rien que lui , l'immense Rudolf Nureyev !!!
What an amazing athlete! And a stunningly beautiful man... Bravo!!!
He was an artist not an athlete.
@@IZn0g0uDatAll If you think dancers are not athletes as well, you have never danced yourself. lol
@@auntlynnonline6206 There is an athletic dimension to dancing, but I don't think any ballet dancer would take kindly to be called an athlete. They do art, no sport, and if it becomes a sport, it has lost all meaning.
What a ridiculous argument!
@@JudithJustman-rv9eh I couldn’t agree with you more. 😂
In Ireland there is a saying that describes many people on social media, ‘A man who would pick a fight with his own toenails.’ I think I inadvertently attracted the attention of one of these. 😉
I was privileged to see both Nuryev and Barishnikov at the Met as a young teen
i love this so much...the beauty..the power...the passion for dance...this really takes me away from all my trouble thoughts for a moment. Thank you
When I was in college (I'm a guy) I wanted to get closer to those lovely ballet dancers I saw moving so elegantly, with such upright posture.
But, as a dude who is a life-long soccer player, and hard-rock music fan, with zero musical ability, including dancing, I was very, extremely intimidated.
But, those amazing ballet bodies that I saw when they left the gym door open and the way those ladies moved.... ohmygod.
So, I finally took a Intro to Ballet class. The ladies were so kind. And, as a soccer player; climber; cyclist; down-hill and snow skier; nothing was as hard as ballet: nothing. Ok, Hangliding.
Incredible line, muscular endurance and the way he uses his torso, arms and hands is very unique and detailed
Exactly! The muscular endurance also explains why he gets into the air somewhat slowly and that is an expression of one type of ballon. He didn’t have the explosive power to get into the air quickly like Baryshnikov but he shows so much detail in every movement.
Jam e nderuar dhe me fat QE te shoh ballerinin me te mire She te pazevendesueshem deri sot,ai ishte dhe mbetet nje hyjni,perfeksioni.vete,eleganca,persosmeria,bukuria e levizjeve nuk mundi te gjej fjale per ti pershkruar
Nureyev and Plisetskaya both perfect actors. Everything in play: legs, hands, fingers, eyes and heart
He was the best because he worked harder than anyone else to develop his ability and because he was genius, far more than a trained body. i am so glad you included Spectre. He is the only dancer I have seen who “got it.” I saw him do it in his late 30s. By that time, others’ jump was bigger, but nobody else beats his magic.
Was this guy a living "god", or what??? .......what a shame he didn't have any offspring to carry on his legend.....he was literally "Out Of This World".. a phenomenon......superhuman pair of legs
Каждой клеточкой своего я наслождаюсь принцем! Дрожу, так он мне нравится!
Проживаю жизнь, счастлива,
что его увидела! И в восхищении! И очень люблю!
Brava!!
I was fortunate to see Nureyev dance a few years before his death. His leaps and power weren't as striking by that time, but he still had elegance and grace that one doesn't often see in a dancer.
I saw Nureyev twice, once when he was much older. He completely outshone the younger performers with his skill and magic.
The height he achieved was unbelievable! I don't recall anybody else doing that.
Какое счастье видетьРудольфа Нуреева!Божественный!!!
Прочла все комменты, и все они восхитительны, браво!
For me, R.Nureyev Is the best ballet dancer of all times. Number ONE.
Was lucky to see him and Dame Fontaine dance together, several of their many performances! What a delight! Unforgetable!
My Dad & I saw Margot & R 1st appearance in NYC after his defection- it was enthralling & they were genuinely fond of each other- I saw perfect Russian arms unrivaled to this day ❤❤
At the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles, while dancers who were warming up on stage left, Nureyev, came downstage center and did a series of pliés in first position. As he did his deep demi plié in first, he got an applause! And this was him just warming up. Such presence even in warming up!
I was fortunate enough to see him at the Greek Theatre…it was wonderful. He made it look so easy!
Oh dear. What a beautiful man.
Exquisite pleasure to view Rudy and Margot in Romeo and Juliet and that was Heaven on Earth!!! ToDay the dancers are technically higher than they were however have not captured the depth of emotional qualities they evoked!!! Am happy content to have witnessed them live.
When he grabs her skirt and smells it, my heart burst. The acting in this was amazing. He was Romeo and she manifested a teenage Juliet despite her age.
Today, it is tricks and self-indulgence. It is grotesque now...but back then, with these two especially, it was about the ART.
I also saw Nureyev and Fontaine in Romeo and Juliet in Los Angeles and it was one of the finest performances I’ve ever seen. The others were Fracci and Bruhn in La Sylphide, Barisnikov and Kirkland in Gisele, Alicia Markarova in Swan Lake, and Nureyev in Don Q.
O DEUS DO BALLET CLÁSSICO, A PERFEIÇÃO NA DANÇA ✨✨✨
ÚNICO , MAGNÍFICO , BELÍSSIMO ... INESQUECÍVEL NUREYEV !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I will love him for ever
Wow! After watching the movie "The White Crow," I was glad to find this compilation of some of his best performances.
Лучше,чем сказала одна почитательница Гения:Рудольф Нуреев,его па-де-де,это ожившие скульптуры Родена,Микальанджело в Эрмитаже и Лувре ,скульптуры Пушкинского музея и Уффицы , все шедевры мира-это Рудольф Нуреев!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
He was the embodiment of grace and strength. One needn’t know much about ballet to see this great master.
Восхищение Гением_Рудольфом Нуреевым!!!!только он завораживает!
Rudolf Nurejew tancuet kak Nurejew.netu drugiego takogo.brawo Rudi❤❤❤
plus grand danseur de tous les temps ! on ne peut pas mieux faire !
Dans Don Quichotte, c'est un merveilleux acteur !
Obrigada a quem guarda e preserva estas Relíquias. Respeitosas saudações.
In my teens walking through the city of wellington N.Z. A gentleman passed me walking in the opposite direction..we exchanged glances I recognised Rudolf Nureyev.... there was a comraderie ...years later i learn we share the same birthday pisces ♓ the gifted intuitive souls... How grand Nureyev is how gifted... poise elegance integrity and a pure love for his profession SALUTE Nureyev 👏👏👏👏👏🙌
I am so happy to have found these videos! Rudolph Nureyev was a true artist. He had everything: amazing power and height in his leaps, so light on his feet it was like a whisper when he landed and such musical timing not to mention best of all his sheer magnetism and presence. There was the legend of Nijinsky before him but he surpassed that and while some consider Barishikov to be the greatest, I do not. For me, Rudolph Nureyev is the epitome of the dance. Every emotion he portrays, story he tells through dance, one feels and I am very grateful these tapes exist as a tribute to a great man and artiste.
Как говорят певец от Бога , Нуриев - танцор от Бога ( жаль , что он отдалился от Бога в дальнейшем …
I feel EXACTLY the same way you do @amethysteaglewoman and so did my father. The words my father spoke about Nureyev were always so deep and amazing: "Nureyev is a like a panther. Baryishnikov is a wind up toy..." my father used to say. Thank God for my dad...he exposed me to all of the greatest artists and that is why I became a ballerina. Look up whitefish ballet.
Nureyev is perfection.
He is amazing , he covers the stage in three precision jumps with effortless grace.
I cannot give a reason why but watching this GENIUS and I find myself sitting bolt upright trying to point my toes?
His Prince Seigfreid is just perfection , Beautiful video of a great dancer , thank you .
Nureyev was the male ballet dancer of my adulthood. As a child, I adored Anton Dolin. I remember my mother telling me to watch for "the grace of a woman, and the strength of a man".
What a treasure!! So much physical energy in his dance...so breath taking...
Noone like him, in the past and in the future
Думала - посмотрю один -два номера...немного посмотрю...."Немного" Нуреева смотреть невозможно. Это реально удивительно и гениально - оторваться можно только принудительнои- после окончания ролика. Смотреть на танец Нуреева - это как прикасаться к невероятному...к радуге, например
Nureyev..💯🔥.una grande stella della danza classica 🌟
Оказывается, от прекрасного от избытка чувств можно обрыдаться!!!
Что же ты делаешь Рудольф Нуреев?!!
Так все блестяще!
To uploader: Thanks for these clips. Rudi paid dearly for being legendary pioneering artist, breaking barriers & tradition. To truly appreciate his astounding artistry, one must partake basic ballet class for 1 yr during prime teen yrs. Then marvel how EASILY he excels performing beautiful gravity defying difficult formal classical choreography incl it’s emotions, captivating viewers, like hybrid 2 legged gazelle exotic hummingbird
La Danza..questo era lui ..unico❤
Quel bonheur d'avoir pu le voir danser. Un merveilleux souvenir.
Я восхищена и заворожена
Era de otro planeta, es imposible bailar así, UN GENIO TOTAL !!!
The one and only Rudolf, the King of Dance!, many thanks for sharing this beautiful video!
Of all the different male dancers who dance this ballet, nobody has the style and rhythm of Rudolf Nureyev!
Nureyev is the best for sure. No one compares. Unique!
barisnikov far better!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@luciacavanagh9214no I don't agree. Nureyev is so exciting and with pent up emotion
Omg!! My favorite! Romeo And Juliet!! Oh I can’t choose!! I love them all!!❤❤❤
If you 'mute' the sound' you see the sheer talent.
Rudolf Nureyev...King forever...neuporediv i jedinstven u svemu!!!✨🕊️🏆🕊️🕊️✨🥇✨🕊️✨✨🌿🦜

Сразу абонент. Спасибо за уникальную подборку. Рудольф Нуреев это чудо! Талант! Можно смотреть бесконечно.
I am a 46 yr old female, and 4 years ago this beautiful man showed up as my spirit guide and showed me how to release my entire physical energy in one single explosion 💥💪
So beautiful, graceful, his sense of music is wonderful. And when he bursts out on the stage with those magnificent leaps, it’s breathtaking.
In La Sylphide, it is his 52 years old version (which is absolutely amazing by it self considering Aids advancing). He danced this ballet wonderfully in his very young years (at the Kirov especially).
RUDOLF HAZ SIDO EL MAS GRANDE BAILARIN DEL SIGLO. GRACIAS POR REGALARME TANTA FELICIDAD A MI ALMA. SIEMPRE EN MIRECUERDO
Apollo ci ha fatto la grazia di mettersi a ballare ?!... Io credo, proprio di SI ! ❤️😍
An amazing artist to perfection xxx
