Mikhail Baryshnikov - Les Sylphides

[@ЕленаСулимова-н7я]

Профессионал высшего класса, совершенен, может не хватает души, но будем наслаждаться замечательным танцем

[@lucyllebalth80]

This man is simply PERFECT in every things he do!!!

[@christinestill5002]

lucyllebalth80 I agree. ....perfect in everything he does....there is hardly a breathing woman who wouldn't love to know him, even just to watch him move! A beautiful man who can dance!!!! Imagine I persist in thinking of him as a very young, talented dancer, actor, etc. so I looked it up...hell, he is my age! What happened to the last 20 years....and is Trump still "president"?

[@christinestill5002]

lucyllebalth80 And now even more tears; this is gorgeous & my late mother used to play this Chopin on our baby grand all thru my childhood!

[@mariamagdalenatieghi5621]

Que emoción. y recuerdos hermosos de cuando bailabamos con mi querida hermana.

[@deteier]

La música de Chopin y éstos angelicales bailarines, me hacen presumir que estoy danzando por el Universo en su más esplendida armonía. Sí esto no me hace creer en lo divino ¿qué otra cosa podrá internalizarme del Espíritu Magnífico de los hombres

[@НадеждаКолокшанская-о9ч]

Музыка нереально красивая

[@echeverri42]

Is beatiful. He´s fabulous.

[@giuliorenzobighin8165]

Ottimo balletto ed ottima la regia ideativa del coordinamento del collettivo danzante che esprime la levità e l'immiata armonia della danza.Mirabili i passi sulle punte in veloce eundo della ballerina ed altresì indietreggianti.Ottime le posture figurali nell'ensembe sia duale che collettivo.Ottime le sforbiciate aeree del ballerino e la precisa riconduzione dei passi all'euritmia melodica da parte della ballerina come se avesse immiato il tema musicale. Ottimo il senso del continuum dato alla pièce danzante dai protagonisti.Superlativi. BIGHIN GIULIO RENZO. 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

Cosita hermosa!! Te amo Misha!

[@ghostofxmaspast]

Absolutely beautiful! I love ballet.

[@ТатьянаМаксимова-ъ2ю]

Барышников знаменит, прежде всего тем,что "пересадил на американскую землю русский классический балет".Он оказался талантливым режиссером-постановщиком и хореографом.До него американский балет на мировой арене не котировался.Конечно,Нуреев-это непревзойденный талант.Такие рождаются раз в 100лет,вопреки генам,деньгам и связям.

[@kabardinka1]

Cheryl Yeager and Cynthia Harvey... both excellent, highly underrated dancers.

[@ginamorvay6985]

It's Marianna Tcherkassky who's dancing the waltz with Misha. She was a terrific dancer, especially in the classic 'white' roles.

[@riaklop]

beautiful dansers great

[@ОксанаЛиходзиевская]

Прожила жизнь !!! Танцуя этот балет !😢❤

[@margaretsantos6718]

He is absolute PERFECTION!!!!!

[@quiltlady73]

Thank you, jetrael. I saw Marianna Tcherkassky years ago at ABT when I lived in NY. Thought she looked familiar - just beautiful.

[@DandaraEspindola]

I can't believe it!!!!! I just love you for posting this, I had on VHS and always looked for!! Thank you very much!!!

[@MINERA8]

Divino....Espetacular!!!!!

[@kabardinka1]

This is actually my fav version of Sylphides/Chopaniana. No, the ballerinas aren't the greatest stars, but the mood and style of it is the best I've seen.

[@marygoodson4920]

The ballerinas are lovely!

[@FisherAcademyBallet]

@Cate Lynn and Robert D. There are two different ballets with similar names. @ Jill Oliver and RolderWingNut, yes you are correct. La Sylphide was a ballet originally choreographed in 1832 for Marie Taglioni. It is a story ballet in two acts set in Scotland. Music used now is by Lovenskold. Les Sylphides was created in 1909 by the Ballets Russes and is considered the first plotless ballet. Music is by Chopin.

[@jakkalink]

Very beautiful

[@pauliberg3492]

absolutely divine.

[@pauliberg3492]

[@nanithecat]

love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@marystucker]

ABT was certainly much better under his guidance. Lovely. Thank you for posting.

[@AnyaV]

Russians the best. Nobody can repeat.

[@erpollock]

For a detailed discussion of this very performance, Chapter 7 of Ballet 101 by Robert Greskovic spells out every section, every different dance type, every ballerina, and of course, Baryshnikov's performance.

[@antonietasousa4099]

Adoro este bailado lindissio.

[@jota1535]

hermoso!!!

[@merihtorun9321]

It’s so delightful to watch ❤️

[@erpollock]

I can see why Baryshnikov left Balanchine after a few years; he had learned what he needed to. But the traditional ABT style is drenched in perfumed romanticism, while Balanchine is totally 20th century. In fact, in dance, Balanchine defined the modern century. It is best that Baryshnikov had both for a full artistic experience.

[@ToledoWingNut]

You sure, Robert D? It looks like Les Sylphides to me and the Chopin score fits. I thought La Sylphide was the one set in Scotland with woodland nymphs and an actual story line. This one is pure dance, no story.

[@compuroni]

THANK YOU. FOR YOUR BEAUTIFUL WORDS, JASMIN. GREETINGS FROM COSTA RICA.

[@alpkunkar9471]

Assolutamente meraviglioso 😊❤

[@gila1959]

Thanx Jamie for this . its lovely .

[@RepertoryDancersNJ]

Marianna - saw her do this in person years ago. She is gorgeous!

[@Gisugar]

GORGEOUS

[@sneakerfreaka]

Definitely not. This is Les Sylphides a.k.a. Chopiniana, La Sylphide is a completely different ballet, that is not a pure ballet blanc but has a story line. There are videos of it on youtube, too: POB with Aurélie Dupont as Sylph and Bolshoi with Krysanova I think.

[@Mari3niGonzlz]

Beautiful ❤

[@odinthor13]

Sehr Schön! Danke!

[@Easybreathing1]

Благодарю!

[@gloriacastillo7347]

[@gabyguido6390]

Absolutely beautiful to look at... I wonder in what year Mikhail did that performance.

[@margaretsantos6718]

Maravilloso

[@dirkhoekstra727]

Nicely cut-off anti-climatic ending...well done for that genius piece of video editing....

[@vitiachao9765]

The best is the waltz 16:43

[@DCFunBud]

Who are the ballerinas? The one on the right is Marianna Tcherkassky. 1984 production. Les Sylphindes, Mikhail Fokine's 1909 ballet, for Les Ballets Russes. For August Bournonville's 1836 ballet, see La Sylphide.

[@aj92507]

beautiful...thank you for posting.

[@freaky7124]

I Love ballet

[@cristinamoyanocrespo9781]

Me encanta el ballet de las sílfides de Chopin

[@ToledoWingNut]

May I recommend viewing this while reading pp. 532-538 in Ballet 101 by Robert Greskovic. He discusses the ballet while referencing this very video. Really instructive.

[@erpollock]

I have Ballet 101 by Robert Greskovic and my edition shows Chapter 7 is on the Mikail Baryshnikov Les Sylphides, which must be what you are referring to. It's a detailed discussion, and it is definitely a description of this very performance.

[@dmpfc]

Cynthia Harvey. Cheryl Yeager and Marianna Tchersky(sp)

[@soldenoche5065]

Ningún dato! ¿Tiempo, espacio, las primeras bailarinas, batuta?

[@AshlynnBall]

This is the ABT? What year and who are the two main ballerinas? I want to say that I think one of them is Alessandra Ferri, or at least one of them has amazing feet like she does!!!

[@gabyguido6390]

Thanks. :)

[@ИринаАфанасьева-щ9ш]

Это не Сильфида. Это Шопениана.

[@catelynn9334]

It all depends on where you are from. People pronounce and spell differently in different countries.

[@oxundina1]

Does anyone know what ballet company this is & the Ballerina? And What Ballet Company..???

[@lmarti204]

Looks like - and I am pretty sure - that the Ballerina is Cheryl Yeager and it is ABT.

[@Marta44339]

Yeager, Marianna Cherkassky, and Cynthia Harvey are the ballerinas. it's ABT.

[@fabiolaelizalde1427]

SUBLIME...

[@danielguzman5284]

i want this music, can you tell me how i can get it?

[@CJA-jf8db]

The music is by Frederic Chopin. The most famous piece here is waltz in c-sharp minor op 64 no 2 (16:43). Here are the pieces present according to wikipedia (though usually the polonaise op 40 no 1 is included): Nocturne in A♭ major, Op. 32, No. 2 Waltz in G♭ major, Op. 70, No. 1 (transposed to G major) Mazurka in D major, Op. 33, No. 2 Mazurka in C major, Op. 67, No. 3 Prelude in A major, Op. 28, No. 7 Waltz in C♯ minor, Op. 64, No. 2 (transposed to D minor) Grande valse brillante in E♭ major, Op. 18 (transposed to D major)

[@icarrus4u]

ABT?

[@jetrael]

with Marianna Tcherkassky

[@danielguzman5284]

Omg.. people are just nuts..

[@fgggyy6643]

Да, Барышников очень техничен, НО, выступления Нуреева смотришь и смотришь. Он как бриллиант, настолько многогранен, вызывает восхищение.

[@la29la61]

Вообще-то "Шопениана". И музыка Ф. Шопена, а не Ж. Шнейцхоффера.

[@ValentinZolotov]

Hm. Baryshnikov doesn't sound like American ballet. Right?

[@SK-hq1hg]

Does Balanchine sound like American ballet :)

[@Elcelebration]

6:17 レシルフィード

[@Actheartist1]

Accidently clivked this but... really good and a LOT of borres(not sure if i spelled that right)

[@Feliandyx16]

year of this ???

[@MiraLouise]

2011

[@Feliandyx16]

:_[ this perfomance, what is the year of this perfomance . 85 84 ??

[@christinestill5002]

Anyone have a DATE this was made?

[@Marta44339]

I'd guess 1984-5 or 6.

[@christinestill5002]

Well there is a story.....more an excuse to dance to Chopin. He's an uninspired poet and the nymphs are his muses, helping to find ideas, inspiration for his writing.

[@ちず2]

[@numberonefilmfan]

Tcherkassky :)

[@lilisj303]

i think 1988

[@juanpuyo1041]

Ничего интересного не нашёл в Барышникове. Да, Нуреев был Бог танца! И остался непревзойдённым!!Излучал свет, из него исходила музыка.Гений!!

[@МаринаПолякова-б3х]

Марго Фонтейн была великолепна в этом балете. А Нурееву в Шопениане не хватало стиля, он выглядел слишком в нем эмоционально, резко.

[@fashistputin]

This is Chopin, absolutely NOT "Les Sylphides"!

[@christinestill5002]

fashistputin This is LES ......there is another ballet w/ similar title.

[@fashistputin]

@@christinestill5002 Chopin IS Chopin, another ballet or not.

[@Actheartist1]

*clicked

[@ЛюбовьЖигалова-ф3ф]

Барышников, конечно, талант, но здесь все внимание невольно сосредоточено на партнерше, когда танцует Александр Годунов - все внимание на Годунове , там невозможно глаз от него оторвать!

[@boryloveyou]

this is chopiniana..

[@vladimmir100]

Кордебалет нужно было отбирать технически безупречный, а Барышников отбирал,кажется,, по росту. Оркестр звучит,плохо, подешевле, мало струнных.

[@МаринаПолякова-б3х]

По сравнению с записью, где танцует Владимир Васильев, это фантастическое исполнение. Здесь действительно сильфиды, а не женщины с крылышками за спиной, как в записи Большого. Да и Васильеву, а особенно Тимофеевой, романтизм и музыка Шопена чужды. А Барышников и Tcherkassky - просто гениальны, других слов у меня нет. Стиль, музыкальность, воздушность.

[@ЕленаШевченко-ф8е]

@@МаринаПолякова-б3х Самый безупречный танцовщик в "Шопениане" - это Николай Цискаридзе. Идеальный классический артист балета. Красота линий, романтичный облик, уникальные данные от природы, музыкальность и артистизм на высочайшем уровне. Ни Васильев, ни Нуреев ни Барышников не могут с ним сравниться здесь. Как бы кто кому не симпатизировал, на сцене всё прекрасно видно, кто есть кто.

[@ЕкатеринаФоростяная-и2м]

Годунов и Бессмертнова-вот гениальная шопениана.Барышников оставляет равнодушной.Он неплох в миниатюре"Шопен",но в данном репертуре весьма зауряден и многократно переоценен с помощью коммерческих установок,свойствннных ему от рождения и прямо выраженных в самой фамилии.😮
