Bolshoi Bolero Sergei Radchenko Elena Kholina Alexander Lavrenjuk 1967

Ravel's Bolero Bolshoi 1967
Sergei Radchenko Elena Kholina Alexander Lavreniuk

[@sylviecharlois1165]

Aside from the wonderful choreography, and gorgeously simple yet lavish costumes, can we take a moment to marvel at the fact that the dancers spend about 95% of the ballet maintaining this flamenco type posture, back bent backwards ?! It enhances the spanish vibe so much, but that must have been exhausting... I also like the inclusion of that brief rehearsal clip, well done ! I am still very partial to Bejart's choreography, but still, this one is stunning.

[@eileenhetherington3704]

Absolutely stunning. The best choreography for Bolero which I have seen. The Flamenco posture is exhausting, yet these dancers made it appear easy. Costumes are spectacular. Dancers are impeccable. There are some very ugly dance interpretations of this beautiful song. This is the most excellent.

[@svetlanakenjebekova2472]

Это самое лучшее, что я видела среди исполненияй. Браво!

Very effective use of red under the white dresses of the women. Stunning interpretation of Ravel's wonderful composition.

[@lauraburdett8932]

Much more interesting to watch than the other version.

Es danza española.

In 2023, this is masterful…but having been cheorographed and performed by the standards of music/ballet theatre then in 1967; this is STUNNINGLY SPOT ON! BRAVO!

[@juliafast4043]

Смотрю и слушаю постоянно, это просто ..... ❤❤❤

[@Татьяна-л1ы9у]

Это болеро смотрится с восторгом и упоением! Оно гораздо красивее и ярче, чем одиночный танец. Какая экспрессия чувств, вложенная в движения, пластику! Образ гордой испанки красноречив и притягателен в исполнении Елены. Браво! Смотрю сотый раз не могу насмотреться.

[@musicalme27]

Wonderful choreography with the music. Great dancers. The set is reminiscent of the German Expressionism films in the 20's-30's. A work of artistic genius. Bravi.

[@charleneroyal4599]

Absolutely beautiful. Thank you.

I am extremely impressed by not only the beauty of the ballet, but the expertise of the filmmaker who cut and spliced and filmed this ballet! Beauty in all art expressions!

Замечательно, финал балета очень красив - прекрасны и солисты, и кордебалет! Спасибо!

[@stevehinnenkamp5625]

Incredible! Seduction, Selection, in hypnotic music beautifully portrayed. I relished every gesture, every 32nd triplet of Ravel's Bolero due to corps de ballet.

[@ENSEMBLEHARIRA]

Fascinating to read all of the conflicting feedback about this choreography. I have watched this multiple times over the last few days, gradually noticing the many things that make it, I think, brilliant, beautiful and breathtaking. This choreographer simply loves dance. Definitely a "bird thing" happening here too, hahaha. I love that little bit in the rehearsal hall, and the beginning and end of this are pure magic. Wow, wow, wow.

[@teijaflink2226]

I think the choreography with Maya Plisetskaya is lot more confusing even if amazing too, this at least makes sense to the music.

[@Natalia-xo4hv]

​@@teijaflink2226вы имеете в виду постановку Бежара? Она не менее прекрасна, и в ней, как говорил сам Бежар, он не пытался отразить какие-либо "испанские мотивы". А Болеро Бежара мне больше нравится в исполнении мужчин. Хорхе Донн в этом балете - просто шедевр!

i have really enjoyed watching this and re visiting it from time to time. i love the haughtiness and playfulness of the prima donna directing her suitors to pursue and follow her. Bravo Boloshoi!

[@bbbalino]

AMAZING!! found this by chance. had no idea the Bolshoi had produced something like this. Kholina really gets the flamenco spirit in her pose. Mesmerizing. Bravo!

Этот фильм - ещё одно доказательство того, что утверждение о том, что балет за прошедшие полвека шагнул далеко вперёд - миф!

50 years have passed and this remains a real gem... thank you so much for posting the video. Marvelous artistry, brilliant flamenco-like paso doble, splendid choreography, fantastic creativity, mind-numbingly wonderful soulfulness and passion; both larger than life charismatic personas.

[@irishelfand2232]

Fantastic

[@rkrw576]

What a fantastic production: choreography, execution, cinematography. Funny to think: Ravel was the first composer that I loved, and this was what got me into him. I then bracnhed out to his other work, forgetting this. But this brought me back. Genius.

[@rickipacaci1338]

Brilliant production and choreography ‼️

[@edgarh.g.4403]

Maravilloso, aplausos... muy hermoso regalo para los ojos y para los oídos, gracias!!!

[@novallasuter5265]

I agree with Katt about birds. It certainly is a fertility dance and has always been one of the most sensual pieces of music since it was written. (SIGH)

Balet i choreografia na najwyższym, światowym poziomie.

[@leonardodavinchi6799]

Очень красиво! Глубоко впечатляет грацией и глубокой философией! Смысл музыки этого произведения раскрыта гениально! Это лучшее, что я видел из танцев под музыку "Болеро" Равеля. Браво! Браво! Браво! Гениально! И да : как и идея самой музыки, это можно смотреть ВЕЧНО ! Глубокая философия.

[@Lolacarrión-ng16]

Creo q el coreógrafo debió llevarse de España una pareja de los 'typical spanish dance figures' que antiguamente adornaban las casas españolas y tras una borrachera se dijo, voy a hacer un homenaje a mis muñequitos!!! Jaajaajaa!!! Después de ver este vídeo no me queda claro si le gustaba el baile flamenco o todo lo contrario. La bailarina y su vestuario son absolutamente elegantes e incluso vigentes (aunque después de la filmación debió quedar bastante contracturada su columna), pero lo de los bailarines no tiene nombre 🤣🤣 De verdad, me he reído con ellos un montón!!! De cualquier forma, gracias, digno de ver, los rusos siempre demuestran buena formación y pulcritud en la danza y sé que les gusta mucho la española. El toque expresionista del conjunto es genial. Al fin y al cabo es el Bolshoi!! 💃

[@stearmankc]

I really enjoy how, for once, the choreography really reflects and enhances the great music. Lovely!

DIVINA APRESENTACION CON UNA DOCIS DEL FLAMENCO EN EL ALMA DE RAVEL UNA BELLEZA DE ESPECTACULO

[@glendamcdaniel9894]

This is my favorite piece of dancers and music together. I love how the number of dancers increased as the music intensifies. Bolero was introduced to me by my band teacher many, many decades ago and will always be my favorite piece of music.

[@ellenmax2826]

It translates an intense mating process into a stunning art presence … perhaps far exceeded Ravel’s expectation. Exceptional leading dancer.

[@j.vonhettlingen7112]

Wow, I'm really impressed by the technical perfection of this performance! The choreography is highly sophisticated and full of humour! It's no co-incidence that Bolshoi is seen as the world's best ballet ensemble, next to Kirov, in classical dances! Although the piece is from 1967, the stauning choreography is timeless!

Wow Truly beautifully artistically perfection in dance Bravo.

I think this splendid performance is fairly unique however, the stage becomes "rather crowded" ! For myself, I do enjoy this performance & shall save it for future enjoyment. This will become my 7th save on Revel's "Bolero". Yeah, I am a big fan!!! Thank you Bolshoi & the orchestra and of course as I always say, "and the commenters as well.
