Ах, какая филигранность в исполнении мелких pas!!! Какие восхитительные прыжки! Актерское исполнение выше всяких похвал!! Bravo танцовщикам!!! Браво талантливой хореографии!!! Апплодирую стоя!!!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 🌼🌿🌼🌿🌼🌿🌼🌿🌼 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
steven really captured the essence of bourneville style, though he was not bourneville trained. Such elegance paired with his excellent foot work, not to mention his acting! What a lovely James. Absolutely my favorite!
I actually find this Bournonville style rather funny...the man doesn't look very manly, especially when compared to the Russian style. Very beautiful, though.
@@serbanescusimona i think the exact opposite. The vaganova port de bras looks feminine to me, especially when its about male dancing. While bournonville looks more masculine. Fun how everyone has a different perception. But i wouldn't say that mcrae captured the essence of bournonville style.
The more i watch this performance by these two -the more i feel both have captured the correct lightness and strength of the characters - a sublime interpretation
@@alainspiteri502 Thats the POB version to the Schnizhoffer score recreated by Pieere Lacotte so not the original as that was created by Phillipe Taglioni for Marie. Much prefer the Lovenskold score. The Paris version kilts are always too short !!!
@@siegfried923 version kilts are always too are always too short = words of a UA-camr , a false lover-dance--music because he don't known what about he write ; do you known Ghislaine Thesmar ? no because in 70' there was no VHS , on UA-cam a few videos before 1980 then you are a youtuber with videos only videos ; Evdokimva Schauffus are dancers in first in 1970 ( the end of M Fonteyn ) do you known M Fonteyn except videos on Y T ? no ! Itws that a youtuber it's phenomenal non sens what you write about " La Sylphide " of P Lacotte , you don't known Thesmar j saw her 1975-1980 you no then you write kilts too ...... Siegfried Thesmar danced of course at Paris also at Bolchoi when she was danced Giselle rehearsal with Galina Oulanova but mostly with G Balanchine she danced often in Guest by Balanchine at NCB . Not on Y T youtubers as you don't known they write of course , if you have seen thoses dancers in live you don't write " ..too short kilts .. " of course ; youtubers = videos nothing more
@@siegfried923 and also in " La Sylphide " James is Mickael Denard you don't known of course because no video Denard on Y Tube, an international Dancer * very far from Schauffus * j can write , as Roberto Bolle in 70-80 all prima balkerinas danced with Denard : Giselle Makarova Bessmernova , Cynthia Gregory N Pontois , all coreographers wrote a balket for Denard : Roland Petit Bejart Y Grigorovitch, all great coompagnie had Denard in Guest . You talk about P Schauffus ( j saw in live in La Sylphide with D Khalfouni ) but Denard was above , thz words j known bur pity no videos on Y T the end of the great Denard was 1978' then don''t write kilts too short about an international Dancer unknown without videos Y T
@@siegfried923 j think you don't known that thete is no a coreography of " La Sylphides " Taglioni because " il ny avait pas de notations des coreos " it's Lev Ivanov with Petipa who wrote on paper coreographies for the first time , all ' La Sylphides " coreos are adaptations, reconstitutions in french but in fact thete is not to a coreograaphy- Taglioni
Rojo encapsulates the Period perfectly.I have lithographs in my sitting room with Taglioni as the Sylph.McRae is certainly one of the best James that I have seen.Eric Bruhn and Flemming Ryberg will stay with me.This is my all time favourite ballet.I could watch it forever.It is a shame that The Bournonville repertoire is sadly neglected.But it is preserved like a fly in amber in Denmark,where they are cherished to this day.
Mc crae is wonderful and eye candy too. Tamara brings her great balances and lightness and that sustained third pirouette..reminded me of Cynthia Gregory
Steven McRae is a real find for me -- his dancing is subime, a great technician, watch him in Manon here on YT -- soooooo good so much better than the other cast --
beautifully danced and acted. The performance shows very clearly how she's the elusive sylph and why he need the magic scarf. It's not always so apparant.
I just love this ballet. The bournonville choreography is so fluent and natural. I wish he had choreographed Sleeping Beauty. I find many of the movements quite ugly in the Petipa version, the fairies are very stuccato and unfairylike. This is a super version of La Sylphide, but Iana Salenko's sylph deserves a mention as well, and also Osipova's [Whose shoes are soft even though she's dancing it with the Bolshoi, so I'm guessing soft shoes are best for this style]
they are quite perfect together, however, i wish her landings were a touch more gentle. feel like her shoes make too much noise? rather distracting from the delicateness of the character, no? regardless, i sincerely enjoy watching this clip (sometimes multiple times in a row haha).
this must be one of the greatest partnerships in this pas de deux McRae is faultless as James Whilst Tamaras Sylph is so technically brilliant whilst encompassing the lightness required in the role, she is after all a creature of the Scottish Mist A lot of ballerinas can tackle the technical aspects but their performances become heavy and too showy for the role. Musically these two are faultless in interpretation and sheer dynamism
siefrid what always the best , the greatest ? what about Ghislaine Thesmar romantic- diaphane- irreal Sylphide ? J known there is Thesmar on UA-cam j saw her with Mickael Denard also Giselle with Cyril Atanassoff Paris Opera , the best you saw ( in live ? ? ) and others great dancers what about them ? always the best on UA-cam ! J saw also Khalfouni-Schauffus

it's a fun ballet to watch, but I'd like to see him not fall out of his pirouettes as much as he did this time around and she needs to land softly and intensely arched feet or not, she needs a softer shoe or she needs to find a way to land in the "period style" of this piece. Floaty and lovely arms, but she's not Bournonville trained and you can see it a mile off.
It's possible that Tamara leaves the box more harder than most dancers when she breaks them in thus making it louder than some performances (of different ballets) where you can hear the contact between the shoe and the stage. I think it's more important to pay attention to the technique and the characterisation that she does for the Sylph rather than her shoes.
Natasha Davies sylphs are silent on the floor .... it is very important to maintain the lightness, weightlessness, is part of: purest style of this ballet, I can show you a multitude of really ethereal dancers, we cansee the technique every day is all ballet companies in the world, all the girls repeating mechanically the same perfect movements, now I want to see something more, i want to see what makes the difference between a dancer and a real prima ballerina, of course you can think different about it, as I can do it either...
alejimenez76 I agree... to an even further point that sylphide should be performed in period point shoes...the soft ones Emma Livry would have worn in the original - gracefulness is becoming ( sadly) a thing of the past
She has super arched feet. It is very hard to do all this small petite foot work in soft shoes, especially with her feet! She could risk injury if not careful. I'm sure this is something that has followed her through out her career.
+Camilo Gómez Actually, softer shoes are better for this technique, as hard shoes hinder the jump, don't they? That's why you always see Danish ballerinas in soft shoes when they perform the Bournonville repertoire.
I have seen some Royal Danes struggle to get this right emotionally and artistically even though trained in Bournonville style - exceptions I have seen was Niels Kehlet and Margaret schann many years ago and the wonderful Eva Evdokimova and Schaufauss And of course Johann Kobburg

This performance by Tamara Rojo reveals the incredible balance at the heart of her role; and his lightness and chivalrous energy are poetic. Bravo!
Sublime! I'm in complete agreement with the comments about the superb acting. And my gosh, the technique is astonishing. McRae is one of my favorites.
I love these two 'cause both of them are marvelous dancers but also good at acting.
So beautiful. I have goosebumps!! Wow, the stamina. and her pointe shoes so broken in. Thank you for posting.

Watch Johan Koborg or Cornejo
beautifully danced and acted. The performance shows very clearly how she's the elusive sylph and why he need the magic scarf. It's not always so apparant.
Absolutely enchanting!
LOVE this pair!
Amazing Tamara and Steven
Pure beauty...
Beautiful
7:54 he is flying
Wonderful dancers, much prefer dancers of smaller stature, her so dainty and he has such exactitude and presents her with gentle honour. Bravo
A wee bit ‘o Scottish magic
McRae is outstanding--super--kiss, kiss...................
Splendito. La mia amica Tamara Rojo e una prima donna e Mc Rae non se queda atras.
What a partnership.
She is truly a sylph and he a besotted Scotsman.
Bournonville would have been pleased!
Yes, a true Scotsman! Perfect for it! The red hair says it all! :))
Тамара е невероятно талантлива балерина!
Oh, look at her exquisite techniques and acting!
Great !!!! Thank you .
It is beautiful !
BELLISSIMO ❤❤❤
perfection!
Stunning!
How can I get this song?
好きすぎる。
I have no doubt Rojo could just float away over the trees if she chose........
Maravilhosos!
splendid!
So that's what Bourneville style looks like at its best. (What a tease she was. Poor guy!)
AS ALWAYS BRAVA !!!!!!
BRAVO!
Do you know in what year the performance took place?

Lovely, but McRae makes a rather delicate James...
WOW!
its all about those glorious spanish arches.
Semplicemente STUPENDI
Who is Steven McRae we never head anything about him, qui est -il vraiment ce Steven McRae nous n'avons jamais entendu parler de lui.
Najo PATRIN These days he is a star of The Royal Ballet. He is in many of their UA-cam clips
Steven is a principal at the RB. And a fantastic dancer.
Isn't there a way to make those floors more quiet? All those squeaks and thumps ruin the performance....
it's a fun ballet to watch, but I'd like to see him not fall out of his pirouettes as much as he did this time around and she needs to land softly and intensely arched feet or not, she needs a softer shoe or she needs to find a way to land in the "period style" of this piece. Floaty and lovely arms, but she's not Bournonville trained and you can see it a mile off.
They were taught the roles by The Great Danish dancer and Bournonville expert Johan Koborg.Their style is perfect.
He is magnificent!!!! she sounds on the floor :(
