2003 Maya Plisetskaya & Charles Jude - Afternoon of a Faun

[@watrgrl2]

This was my favorite version of this ballet ever. I loved Charles Jude’s performance.

Спасибо за чарующее исполнение! Мистическая музыка,страстность, невероятный талант исполнителей, всё слилось воедино! Браво!

Plissetskaya and Jude in this - is amazing pairing of two extraordinary dancers uniquely sensual and elegant , whose art defies age and conventions. Maya is a personal idol - she was that incredible amalgam of refinement, musicality, eroticism and elevated sense of style from the get go. She have had posessed that magic - whatever she touched was transformed and became personal. There are precious few with similar abilities - Sylvie Guillem comes to mind. Maya is at home in this piece - her territory of expressive performance, requiring dancer's taste, tact and intelligence. Jude is a worty partner for her here. This is art.

Yes, yes, it's amazing that Plisetskaya should be able to dance like this at 78 years of age, but what about Charles Jude? Let's hear a round of applause for the main performer of this wonderful piece. He was 50 when he performed this - no spring chicken any more, but this was almost as good as in his earlier performance, also on KZbin.

[@anniemihn]

+DieFlabbergast He was fifty in this? WOW. He's spectacular in it. Besides Nijinsky, the best Faun in history for sure.

[@Dicedude]

I think I would put Nureyev ahead of Jude, though.

[@DieFlabbergast]

De gustibus non disputandum est.

[@Dicedude]

Verum ipsum!

[@pedinurse1]

she was amazing

[@pearlypetals]

amazing! she was lovely, brilliant and perfect, the greatest of all ballerinas. R.I.P.

[@AnyaV]

Very interesting to watch different variants from different performers.

[@iamlayfhacer]

Невероятно, в 78 лет!

[@ЛарисаГриценко-н9р]

Кто сказал , что 78?

[@Taisiya87]

Еще "Фавна" потрясающе станцевал Нуриев!

[@Royalbrettania]

absolutely astounding !! Thanks BunduB !!! I would just wish you would give her her full well deserved title .. Prima Ballerina Assouluta :)

[@HellenaAnt]

Лучшее исполнение! Браво!!!

[@BrianJosephMorgan]

Bravo!

[@vaslav030547]

Charles Jude's performance is much more than sensual and erotic, purveying an hypnotic opium trancelike quality. The movements are smoother and more catlike than Nureyev. The music of Debussy entombs the encounter in a translucent bubble.

[@barbj9785]

Jude's performance here is superior to Nureyev's. Some people will disagree but if you compare the two its easy to see. Maya is sensational here for her age.

[@pricla777]

I've always found Debussy's score mesmerizing.

[@AnyaV]

Just saw how this did Liepa and Tsiskaridze . Each dancer bring their own personality.

[@jonnarobinson7541]

I was fortunate enough to view the original footage of Nijinsky dancing this role. It was unbelievable. Everything else pales in comparison.

[@georgebarbosaesilva79]

Where bro?

[@LadyWamp]

Это которые восстановлены по фотографиям? Или реальный архив был?

[@adiksadiatabs]

why do people lie?

[@Ballet-ester235]

Una joya!

[@cliffhughes6010]

There is a clip on KZbin of Nijinsky's original performance in 1910. Parts of the performance are reconstructed from stills, but it is essentially exactly the same. Astonishing. And the music must be the most sensual and erotic ever written.

[@arminhanik4207]

The whole clip is created from stills. Not just parts. There IS no film of Nijinsky, Daliev made sure of that.

[@susannevollmer2347]

Marvelous Albrecht and Giselle(who is she?) ! And my favorit Sprit of the rose is my dearest Patrick, of course!

[@violetta47]

He is amazing elegant

[@MrAdrianaangel]

A really good jumper in her day. This is an odd role for her.

[@НетНет-ш7ч]

Нет, не понравилась Плисецкая. Её драматизм совсем неуместен, совсем нет ансамбля с фавном, она танцует как обычно делает в других балетах. Могли бы внешность её изменить------её длинное лицо вносит драматизм, а не экзотику. Не смогла создать.

[@fatovamingus]

It's just hard to watch.

[@sana11sana19]

Страшный полуеозел получеловек!😯воображение!наверное и люди есть такого рода

[@АйаСулуу]

Вообще не то, Вацлав и Нуриев блестяще станцевали , а Майя танцует классику, это не тот стиль

[@violetabugrova6513]

Старая плисецкая! 😢 И Charlie Jude не молод! И это очень видно! Они слишком возрастные для этой версии
