1991 Tetsuya Kumakawa Bronze Idol

This variation is all over YT - I thought this might be a somewhat better copy

[@happyday1643]

やはり素晴らしいですね…✨ 感銘を受けました。 修行中のシッダルタがブッダとなるような、 過程を感じる踊りです。

[@riyariya9645]

振りが独特なので自由に踊れない感はあるのに、さすがです。こんなハードに踊っても最後のサッと座ってぐらつきもせずポーズをこれだけキープするのは熊川さんレベルでないと出来ないでしょうね

This production of "Bayadere" was the first ballet I ever saw live... And Tetsuya's performance blew me away. Thanks for posting... And bringing back memories of the night that started my love-affair with ballet...

[@judithbooth4855]

Hard to remember what started my love, but one of the things had to be seeing Michael Denard live in New York doing Bejart's Firebird. And of course seeing Johan Renvall do this version of Idol was unforgettable!!

[@merylbee4870]

ENVIDIABLE DEBUT EL TUYO.

[@susannevollmer2347]

Unbeleavable good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for sharing.

[@altongrimes]

What a fantastic artist ! A great supple quality to his Bronze Idol. I so appreciate that you would share this with us, Judith.

この役を、こんな風に踊るダンサーを他に知らないんだけど。独特すぎる。

[@usagiyo2007]

これは新聞にも掲載されました。「熊川哲也、金の仏像になる！」

[@dansewer]

Circa whenever, this is one of the best of this variation I've seen. The applause was so great that Anthony Dowell was nearly eclipsed for his next entrance by the voluminous applause for this variation. Woof!

[@Adamparson]

The very reason I started taking ballet!

[@APoetsCorner]

Flawless ! ~

[@consueloperez7578]

stunning!

[@Colass]

Bravo!

[@APoetsCorner]

Breathtaking! 🌸🐝🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@sugarplumfairy20101]

Best Bronze idol ever!

[@judithbooth4855]

+sugarplumfairy20101 Well maybe the second best -- But Johan Renvall's performance is not on YT.

[@sugarplumfairy20101]

+judith booth I have to see it to believe it! 😉

[@sugarplumfairy20101]

+sugarplumfairy20101 I also love love this version! I saw Angel Corella and didn't like that one this much!

[@judithbooth4855]

+sugarplumfairy20101 unfortunately unless I am very lucky and happen across one of Johan this will have to stand as the best on YT!! Of course there are many varieties of Bayadere.

[@sevoleks]

Maybe first or second is Ivan vasiliev

[@nancyannenesteriak-gentili3540]

Perfection!

[@1225rosechoco]

熊川さんは金の奴隷や薔薇の精ではない。 岩田さんの金の奴隷が最高です。

[@mikiyoshimura9796]

素晴らしいの一言です。 ニジンスキーの再来かな。

[@user-yj5ny8dl9i]

人間は飛べるんだ！。回転も軸がまったくズレなくて超人ですね。

[@masx8006]

この膝よ！良い脚だわぁ

[@pediatrapaola5222]

kuma is a fantastic idol as already told you.

[@judithbooth4855]

[@pediatrapaola5222]

judith booth MORE or less as the others may be little better .is dark also on the video ,l have it is the one with irek muckamedov and altynay asylmuratova with RB

[@judithbooth4855]

pediatrapaola Yeah that is where it came from -- a VHS copy to DVD to Here -- Oh well I tried -- still its so spectacular I think I will leave it up -- Thanks

[@pediatrapaola5222]

judith booth HE was a great dancer ,among the greatest ever imo

[@VJCZAJA]

judith booth . Thank you so much for this! Would you possibly be able to upload the whole La Bayadere. This was the production of Makarova,I believe, which is my very favorite! It was shown live on tv around 1980.

[@user-kc3rz1de3u]

受歡迎的角色

[@user-mg2gu4vw3p]

確かこの公演の時マーガレット王女が来てたんだっけ

[@dmmchugh3714]

Was this performance at ABT? Looks like their scenery. Love this ballet....

[@judithbooth4855]

this is the Royal Ballet in Makarovas Bayadere.

[@jamesgattuso9778]

Royal Ballet. Early 90s.

[@user-vj1dc9qk5j]

Цескаридзе лучше, хотя в остальном превосходный!

[@mariakorpisalo9053]

Цвирко лучший и они с Цискаридзе танцуют совершенно другой вариант 😊

[@halu7947]

皮膚呼吸できるの❓ 相当、苦しいはず
