Prokofiev is freaking brilliant. Austere, harsh, imposing, yet gorgeous, love this piece. The criss crossing and diagonal movements of the gendered groups and the harshness of the horns makes me think of a living chess board. Fighting and strategy illustrated in an abstract modern sense with cold stone pieces.
He came to the US and wrote a lot of scores for movies in the 40's and 50's, I believe. Sometimes when you watch an old movie you will hear background music you will immediately notice has his fingerprints on it.
@@amywalker7515 Kind of like how you hear Wagner/Wagner's influence all over old LoonyToons because the composers were all Germans/German-Jews who fled to the U.S. and were hired by Warner Bros. as Hitler ascended.
I adore Nurejev's choreography, which is the best I know. The translation of Prokoviev's expressive piece of music into dance is unique. Thank you for sharing!
Prokofiev has been on my shortlist of favorite composers since I first heard “Peter and the Wolf” at age 4, with Sterling Holloway narrating. Even Prokofiev’s surname sounded like music to me at that age, the first time I remember being able to hear individual instruments as part of the whole. Prokofiev was so versatile, and his orchestrations so rich and unique, positively lush sounding!
Took the words out of my mouth! I found Prokofiev through watching the Peter and the Wolf cartoon as a toddler. It's what made me fall in love with bassoon. Then I fell in love marching to three oranges. I got to see his Violin Concerto No. 1 performed live early this year too.
Prokofiev's been a favorite of mine for 60 years - and I'm especially fond of his score for "Romeo and Juliet." The music for the Dance of the Knights is ominous and elegant at the same time - and Nureyev's choreography only emphasizes these qualities further.
Magnificent sumptuous grandiose and so terrifying !! All the power of the Capulets and their hatred for the Montagues is expressed in this remarkable and brilliant choreography by Nureyev with the hypnotic and almost scary music of Prokofiev...Brrrr !!
Не Нуреев у ставить балет. Пародия на прекрасные постановки. Как всегда, лучше бы не позорился! Вечный пиарщик самого себя. Откуда столько людей с дурным вкусом? !
Most Americans have never seen this clip from 50 years plus ago. It was put here for sentimental reasons. Not to get complaints as if it's a sacred cow. It is just a video. Get over yourselves.
How the men were seperate dancing and with the women dancing... THATS is how you dance to this song... Its a simple vain song with lots of power. Very nice!
Totally, I always go to a ball hosted by the nobility in full metal jacket... 😂. tbf, I saw a great version of Prokofiev's R&J a few years ago now, and all the men had Kendo sticks which they beat into the ground on the beat - it really worked. Very... butch 😳
@@ub85zwq They are. Just not the part of the beat *you're* listening to. The emphasis in this choreography is on the up beat where their knee is raised, not when the foot is placed down. I suspect it's deliberately less obvious to avoid the predictable stompy choreography that often goes with Prokofiev's version... 🤔

I guess the heading was a bit misleading. I saw Nureyev several times when he danced in DC with various ballet companies. He was beyond description. I love seeing his work again on UA-cam.
I think Nureyev danced Kenneth MacMillan's Romeo & Juliet before creating is own coreography. Nureyev and Fonteyn were the original cast in MacMillan's coreography.

Да, Прокофьев гениален!!!
I had the same experience with Peter And The Wolf. I always loved listening to that when I was a kid.
And you haven't smoked ganja yet when you listened))

This music is so grand you could fall off the stage and look graceful
Histrionically decadent! Brilliant! Lady Capulet and Tybald (Clotilde Vayer | Charles Jude) are magnificent!
Русские композиторы гениальны 👍❤️❤️❤️❤️
А не русские???😂😂😂
Os compositores Russos são os melhores de todos!

C Jude et C Vayer sont des danseurs étoiles magnifiques .la chorégraphie de Noureev met vraiment en valeur les danseurs
Even though I think the "more common" version of this is great, I absolutely adore Nureyev's version, I always find myself coming back to it.
Великий Прокофьев, великолепный Нуриев и прекрасное исполнение балета!
Хореография из "Иван Васильевич меняет профессию"😂

This is my favorite interpretation. The dramatic dancing perfectly matches the dramatic music
Have you seen the Bolshoi Ballet version, now that one step better, just my personal opinion.
Rudolf Nureyev's production of Sergei Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet premiered at the London Coliseum on 2 June 1977.
Brilliant! Absolutely BRILLIANT!
What a culture!
How can anyone forbid THIS?
Pathetic!!! That shows how small they are!
Прокофьев русский композитор. Он гений и это классика жанра. ❤❤❤❤
A thoughtful but I daresay chilling interpretation. Finally I'm seeing this the way I thought it ought be. Brilliant! Bravo!
The music is hauntingly beautiful. A favorite of mine 🕊🇺🇲💕
un orchestre parfait .
Gorgeous music and dancing!
Beautiful stage design.
How the men were seperate dancing and with the women dancing... THATS is how you dance to this song... Its a simple vain song with lots of power. Very nice!
👁️🥀👄This song is a great gift from Prokofiev to the world. I am in love with this song.🌎🌻👶😀😀😀💛😀😀👏👏👏
Mother Russia only produced the greatest in all the arts, but she still has to let herself be sexist.
@@IrmandadeAlmatica Это Вы там озабочены сексом. У России другая миссия, и не надо пачкать её спермой....
Шедевр.
Роскошный балет под роскошную музыку Прокофьева.
This was perfection 😍🤩
Pure beauty...
Magical! 🤩
It’s nice to see men dancing like men yet not lost on grace and elegance! Bravo!
Jonathan- Indeed, interesting observation!
Brilliant. Nureyev unique. Awesome, music, dance, everything. ❤❤❤
Elegant and wonderful ❤
So good!!
Majestoso.
It’s amazing! ❤️
Любая хореография блекнет в такой мощной музыке. И лишь может немного усилить ее. Грандиозно.
Наоборот, когда хореография просаживается, то музыка страдает от нереализованности.
Somptueux !!!!
I'm with you, the ballet is my favorite version as long as Juliet is dance by someone under 50! Love the music
Grand battlements fourth position turn❤
Foi o maior bailarino de sua época! Fantástico!
Nureyev the Great. He is sorely missed.
The melody of sneaking into lover's bedroom under cover of darkness
This is the best version by far. I wish they didn’t cut before the women brang the swords
Crecí viendo esto en youtube cada vez que necesitaba despegarme del suelo. Que belleza!
IMHO, this dance should be performed by armored men with swords
So how could one move and dance in armour and swords..
@@dinkydi456 It's a joke. Or at least i think it is
Totally, I always go to a ball hosted by the nobility in full metal jacket... 😂. tbf, I saw a great version of Prokofiev's R&J a few years ago now, and all the men had Kendo sticks which they beat into the ground on the beat - it really worked. Very... butch 😳
They'd have to dial up the volume on the orchestra to cover the clanking.
Yes the dance of the knights nice play on words there
Géant de beauté .Magnifique en tout .
I enjoy how the choreography of this is quite different from other versions.
over mannered
И это не лучший, а худший вариант из всего, что видела я. Носитесь вы с Нуриевым....
Prokofiev ❤
Best choreo for Dance of the Knight ! ❤
einer der schönster! лучше по русски напишу!
обожаю!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ THANK YOU
Amazing...
2:05 INTRO MUSIC FROM PS3. THAT NOSTALGIA!
Only Nureyev.
rOMEO IS cHARLES jUDE, PARIS OPERA PRINCIPAL, AND NOW DIRECTOR OF A COMPANY IN fRANCE AND FATHER OF THREE. jUDE IS FRENCH-VIETNAMESE
Actually, Charles Jude danced Tybalt here. In this production, Manuel Legris was Romeo. But I agree, Jude is great in the part. :)
Bellissimo
Ravishing.
splendide
I cannot help but recall the immortal observation made by Crocodile Dundee... '"'Struth! No strides!"
They’re not really in time in this one for some reason
I thought it was just me. They are not placing that foot down on the beat.
@@ub85zwq They are. Just not the part of the beat *you're* listening to. The emphasis in this choreography is on the up beat where their knee is raised, not when the foot is placed down.

They are though

Even if that was their intention, they are also doing it wrong.
No not at all....it’s frustrating to watch
Bello
Hermoso
Superlativo
What orchestra is this?
Sofia Noiti it’s in the description.
Amazing gorgeous.
Who is the conductor?
А где рыцари?
Maravilhoso.... viva a Mãe Russia... . 🌹❤☭★
El bailarín no es Rudolph Nureyev.
Who are they then?
el coreógrafo es Nureyev
может быть, танцор танцует скверно
1:46 is the bottle dance from Fiddler on the Roof lol
спасибо, что не "Сиртаки".
И где там Нуриев!???
DANÇA DOS CAVALEIROS
Na coreografia original de Kenneth MacMillan,
Na cena de baile, da ópera Romeu e Julieta,
De Prokofiev, na ocasião, não havia a rede Lan
De computadores, apenas uma tênue silhueta
Do par romântico de Verona que chega hoje
Para mostrar Romeu usando máscara no rosto
Na antevisão do futuro em que se despoje
De toda superficialidade das coisas, isto posto
Ao mundo que revive a Dança dos Cavaleiros
Em situações que nos levem à alegria, à festa
Dos amores que se reencontram em celeiros
Diversos, uma oportunidade de reatar os laços
Que a pandemia atirou pra longe de nós nesta
Vida que vivemos sem os maiores embaraços. (*)

странно смотреть такую постановку... Семантический код языка танца - другой... эта композиция - "танец рыцарей"...
This looks like the one that inspired the dance sequence in The Favourite.
amazing Rudolf!!!!
Rufolf is the choreographer! He died two years before this was staged...
The Audio and Video are better @ 1.25x playback speed 😜
Sorry, that's not Nureyev.
You are right. It's not him.
Nureyev is the coreographer.
Ah, ok. Thanks for the info.^^

What did knights have to do with "R&J"?
😍 😍 😍
🎵🎼🎶💃💃🥰🥰🥰
💖🌹💖🌹💖🌹
WOT ??? SORRY THAT'S NOT RUDOLF NUREYEV PLEASE CORRECT
it's his choreography
The dancer in the purple tights is nice, but not Rudolph.
Janice Wilson yes but the choreographer is Nureyev
The most intimidating Cupid shuffle I’ve ever seen- (don’t @ me I dance too it’s just a joke)
CORRECTION:I BELIEVE CHARLES JUDE PLAYS LORD CAPULET
Charles Jude plays Tybald. He is the son of Lady Capulet's brother (Clotilde Vayer, here partner in that movement). In fact he is Romeo's rival!
1:14 (insert Imperial March from Star Wars here)
Why do i always get the impression that darth vader is coming?
"...why do I get the impression..." Because John Williams snagged thematic elements from many classical pieces.
Это не "Танец рыцарей", а что-то странное. Как аэробика с ненужными махами ногами.
Not enough Knights for my taste, rather too many Knightesses . . . .
There is a lot of Ottoman influence in this piece.
Could you explain it a bit? Why you thought like this?
Хореография УСТУПАЕТ музыке.
Если не сказать, что полное дерьмо....
@@grazhdanka57 Не соответствует характеру музыки, какая то слишком вычурная.

NOT Nurejew !
Who are they then
Rudolf was the choreographer! He died two years before this was staged...
Dance composer is Rudi)))
Imagine stepping on your partner's skirt 💀
That is not NUREYEV dancing
I love the middle ages ruthanian dreases
daria usacheva and alexandra trusova brought me here
apart the weird articulation of the orchestra, stunning
Please elaborate for someone who is learning about this stuff.
