Minkus Paquita

[@irynasavchenko91]

Leslie Brown and Cynthia Harvey are phenomenal in their variations! It's time to watch them again!

[@Neosoul_prima]

My goodness! The queen Natalia Makarova went off on this staging! Cynthia Gregory just does it for me every time

[@santi7616]

it's a joy to watch ,the dancers are all wonderful ❤

[@begonaf1474]

I think this is the best version of Paquita. It's my all time favourite. Thank you so much for uploading.

[@TomMcHugh-l4v]

ABT should consider bringing this production back. It's very lively, with wonderful solos too ! Loved this broadcast as well. I only saw Bujones once at ABT (in Giselle) but he had great style and precision.

[@ThirzaLynetteClarke-ku9dq]

Thank you. Out of this world dancing.

[@marcelogobello9757]

Fernando Bujones fue Único ! R.I.P.

[@sheilabloom6735]

My favorite dancer; I saw her Odette/Odile at the Kennedy Center twice and she brought tears to my eyes. Not even Makarove did that. Such a beautiful dancer.

[@lorakarlash248]

You watched the play Swan Lake with the duet A. Godunov \ S. Gregory?

[@giuliorenzobighin8165]

Veramente un lasciarsi andare al ballo con una SENSIBILE sensazione di naturalezza che affascina lo spectans .Un'impressione d'esecutivita' d'acchito oltremodo gradevole.Bighin GIULIO RENZO

Fabuloso Fernando Bujones !!!

[@tommydenzio]

Everything was there in Cynthia Gregory. Still marvel watching her just like the good old days at ABT.

Bravissimo! Я в восторге. Какая же музыка гениальная. Постановка великолепная. Танцоры прекрасные! Огромное спасибо за видео!

[@mariteix]

Uau! Esse vídeo eu vi há quase 30 anos atrás! Talvez, nessa época a Cynthia Harvey (linda!) nem fosse primeira bailarina ainda. Leslie Browne, graciosíssima, depois estrelou um filme com o Baryshnikov. Todas as bailarinas eram magníficas e não precisavam ser tão "atléticas" qto hoje (algumas até parecem mais ginastas do que bailarinas...).

[@jasaoargonauta]

Eu assisti o filme Momento de decisão na Globo. Alessandra Ferri também trabalhou nele.

[@adrycanunes]

Concordo!

[@princessmarlena1359]

Wow, to think this was done back in ‘84! They did an amazing job. I danced ballet professionally, never made it to the ABT but no regrets.

[@frellamorales3276]

Muy hermoso ballet bonito video para ustedes y sus hermosos trabajos APlAUSOS y muchas felicitaciones

[@williamdeng1870]

A great performance of “Paquita” presented by Cynthia and other artists.

[@karennoble1168]

Wonderful production. Very impressive. Very Beautiful choreography!!, great dancers, beautiful pink costumes, lovely music by L.Minkus. There Is another beautiful one!!, by the Cuban national ballet, all in white. I love both of these.

[@barryevans277]

I’m not too sure what is but I love the “American” feel of this ballet. It has a different style and feel that’s refreshing as opposed to the Russian style.

great !

[@margaridacruz5053]

My best ballet.

[@elizzy8754]

I'm glad I came across this video - what a jewel. Gregory's variation starting at 14:55 (diagonal of grand jetés) has rarely been bettered. Edit: oops, that is not Gregory. Is it Harvey? Could someone please give me time codes for Cynthia Harvey; I'm having trouble figuring out which variation she performs. Thank you for sharing this magnificent performance.

[@matthewrusk6584]

Yes, that is Harvey. Gregory's variation doesn't begin until 19:14

[@santi7616]

Harvey is really spectacular ,I've seen this variation many times and no one ever is better than Harvey ,she is sensational

[@genlyai5055]

That variation is unreal. Harvey eats it for breakfast!

Amigos de publicidad no interrumpan algo tan bonito y tan especial esperen su turno por favor gracias

[@myriamaguilar6592]

De quien es la variacion que interpreta Susan Jaffe?

[@jasaoargonauta]

Esta versión es de Petipa revista por Natalia Makarova.

[@marlitolosa7868]

obrigada

[@Patygerardt]

Amo essa versão do ABT, mas acho o corpo de baile sem sincronia e algumas bailarinas tem uns erros bem visíveis.

[@D.A.A.321]

I generally like ATB but there’s always something off with their orchestra. It sounds like they distribute the score with big fat coffee stains on it, two or three instruments are broken, and 1/3 of their staff fell sick and failed to appear, and the conductor had a few beers right before the performance.

[@MrStucha]

Wonderful dancing from Gregory and Bujones. But the John Lanchbery orchestrations of Minkus' music are beyond vulgar.

[@elizzy8754]

I didn't dare say that, but I share your opinion. Why did Minkus' music have to be tampered with?

[@nataliagabriely1695]

01:20 02:15 12:27 (Só pra ficar salvo)

[@mrlopez-pz7pu]

The orchestration of the music is absolutely terrible and unnecessary, particularly Gregory's variation, which is ruined by Mons. Lanchbery taking Drigo's beautiful harp solo with pizzicato and transforming it into this sugary garbage. Jaffe's variation is the best with regards to orchestration, since fortunately it is in its original arrangement.

[@jeanpierrevanhoof3131]

quelle orchestration merveilleuse... les danseurs sont formidables ! où est joué ce spectacle ?

[@santi7616]

C'est une représentation au Metropolitan Opera House de New York. Je pense que c'était en 1983. C'est une représentation mémorable, je dirais mythique. Vous pouvez voir rien de moins que Gregory, Bujones, Harvey et Jaffe. Tous sont simplement merveilleux, uniques. c'est pourquoi cette représentation de Paquita est simplement mémorable. :-)

[@karennoble1168]

@@santi7616 oui, memorable, magnifique! A maitre d'oeuvre de ballet. Sorry, le Francais n'est pas ma langue. Más j'aime cette representacion du Teatre du Ballet Americain, ABT et Tous les danseurs. Parfait! Aussi la musique de Ludwig Minkus! Tres belle et joyeuse!

[@santi7616]

@@karennoble1168 do not worry, I understand English. really, this performance of Paquita as I said, is insurmountable. Many representations have been made, all over the planet, I've seen almost all of them, and yes, a lot of them are of great quality, certainly, but the truth is that gathering Harvey, Gregory, Bujones, Jaffe and more magnificent stars in a single performance is something unique and sensational . the way they dance, with that musicality and energy and technique so unique and grand is just a joy to watch.Thank God that performance was recorded and we will always have this video to enjoy :-)

[@karennoble1168]

@@santi7616 thank you, Santi. Warning... English Is not my native language either... Yes, i watched it several times again AND it Is definitely the best. It Is very powerful, one of a kind. AND maybe just that one night was the Best Magic Night also collective energywise, performers AND audience. Like a culmination of all the work, Love not only of these famous dancers but all known AND unknown dancers, they contributed. AND a masterpiece was born. Like little streams create a big River which ends in a mighty ocean. Lovely L.Minkus music too!!

[@santi7616]

@@karennoble1168 Yes I agree Karen . indeed, the night in general was really unique, since Paquita was the culmination of a truly memorable night, full of classical ballet of the first category and with unique, unrepeatable artists. the night was started by none other than Mikhail Baryshnikov and Les Sylphides, so the best way to start the night, the audience I imagine , it would be ecstatic and enchanted, and then, the truly insurmountable stars dancing the delicious Pas de Deux of Sylvia with the sublime music of Léo Delibes, Martine Van Hamel and Patrick Bissell, two mega stars¡¡¡ what more could you ask for, a dream couple, in view of the tremendous applause received, what a great success they got. and finally, Paquita with a wake of dream stars. I specially love the variation of Harvey , but Gregory as Paquita is simply phenomenal, what mastery and security ¡¡¡ it is a joy to see her dancing in particular her variation, so magnificently ,insurmountable, a joy to watch her sublime dancing, really a prima ballerina ¡¡ In short, one night, simply memorable, I believe that such a night, it has seldom been repeated, will always remain in the history of ballet, as one of the best nights of ballet in New York City , without a doubt. and I agree, the Minkus music is fabulous :-)
