BRAVO! Viva Joaquin! LOVE the brio brilliance of the choreography, the fine synchronization to the famous composition. De Luz shines in it's challenges and clearly loves it. You Sir,are a fabulous Choreographer!Bravissimo!

I cannot thank you enough for this unbelievable post Danny. I've never seen anything like this before, just astounding where choreography, the male ballet body is rising to, and then add Bach. Out of this World.

[@MrQbenDanny]

Catherine Blair Greetings Catherine, It is not my post. I agree with you, Fernandez is brilliant and free from all the "Avant Garde "garbage Twyla Tharp calls choreography and I call bad vaudeville. She ruined many knees the most famous being Baryshnikov's in Push comes to shove, which I hated. I positively loathe the fraud that is Twyla Tharp. Here's a truly unique and brilliant Fernandez, redefining classicism and also honoring the tradition of classic academia. VIVA David Fernandez! His steps have meaning and sprinkled with surprises!

@@MrQbenDanny I’m so so sorry that I did not see this post before! My most sincere apologies. I can’t thank you enough for your kind words. Please stay in touch. More works coming soon. David 🙏🏻

[@catherineblair5648]

I'm so taken aback by the whole splendour, of Fernandez's unique mind, to unravel Bach's complex music score,and even contemplate the choreography to a superb dancer like De Luz, who can then have the technical musicality, and master this into a new age of old, with the new raising the barre/s, of ballet. I wonder why, this hasn't been done before? A masterpiece of work.

Amazing!!

[@DavidFernandezChoreographer]

Thank you for your kind words. 🙏🏻

[@rossimarti]

Choreography... I have NO idea whatsoever how a choreographer can mark a musical score with so much movement and precison... Every Single movement, right, left, forward, clockwise, counter-clockwise, flourish, cascade, triple, quadruple, must have a name and/or symbol, direction, stage-right, etc., tempo... It's mind boggling. Truly a talent and language of its own expression! Edit: I forgot to mention that some more contrast with the background (beige attire) or sidelights, backlight/outline, would be nice.

[@DavidFernandezChoreographer]

Hello Ross, So happy for your comment. As a choreographer first thing I do is to understand the score as best I can. Specially if it is Bach. I counted the piece and discovered the five variations of the theme, and sketched the structure of the piece. Once I had that all what I had to do is follow its musicality. The accents, and repeats. It’s like a playground for me. Joaquin’s musicality did the rest. Thank you for your kind comment. Best, David

[@margaritavargas8937]

Absolutamente maravilloso, queda claro el respeto por la obra de Bach, felicitaciones al equipo que creo está obra

[@lucilenedegeus2837]

Fantastic! 👏👏👏👏

[@jcnyc9087]

Indeed, I do! Moreover, I think Bach would be happy his 18th century music continues to be relevant and finds application in the 21st century, especially by so virtuosic a performer as Joaquin De Luz!

[@DavidFernandezChoreographer]

I’m so happy you like the piece. We loved creating it for the Kings of Dance tour. Thank you for your kind words. Best, David

[@celanbryant3320]

Maravilhoso!🙏🏻❤️💐👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🇧🇷🖖🏻

[@sharonread7674]

Its as if the dancer is conducting the orchestra with his body. Wow

[@DavidFernandezChoreographer]

As a choreographer, I try to make the music come alive through the dancer's body as Balanchine once said: “See the music, hear the dance,” Thank you for your kind comment. David
