Rudolf Nureyev dances "Florimund's solo" from The Sleeping Beauty (Tchaikovsky)
From: VAI DVD 4288 Tchaikovsky: The Sleeping Beauty
The Sleeping Beauty features Rudolph Nureyev as Prince Florimund and Veronica Tennant as Princess Aurora. The National Ballet of Canada production is classically sumptuous and the dancing of the principals is brilliant. This is the only available video of The Sleeping Beauty featuring Nureyev and in this production, he has added additional choreography which greatly enhances the role of Florimund. The superbly-trained corps and soloists of the National Ballet of Canada are welcome assets to the production.

Nureyev had the courage to command freedom for his artistry and defected under dangerous circumstances. He is a beacon of freedom for all struggling artists wishing to be free from oppression. To soar across the stage with the grace of a gazelle is a gift from the totality of the universe. Nureyev danced his way into history as a valiant fighter for human rights and freedom of artistic expression. Nureyev is among several artists who sacrificed for art and triumphed.
Sublime! Magic! Breathtaking! Rudi is The Prince. Passion, talent, work a lot of work on his well proportionated body, hard work also with all the performance and all the company He had the courage with only 22 years old to choice Freedom, surrounded by all risks. Freedom for him and for dance
My admiration for ever, Rudi.
And his joy of living! His strength and temperament of not giving a damn! A master!
I was lucky enough to see Nureyev in Sleeping Beauty at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles in early 1972. I still have the program to the ballet.
I was all of 20 years old, a university student, and although I knew who Rudolf Nureyev was, I had no idea how much I would be both amazed and transported that night. It left an indelible impression on me that still endures.
Nureyev leapt like no other danceur ever has or perhaps ever will. He took my breath away as he floated, suspended between sky and stage, shaking my sense of what I'd thought was humanly possible and not.
I don't know if people really realize just how difficult it is to do a series of such precise movements with arms, hands, legs, feet, head and torso... to have such spatial awareness and body control that you can execute a complicated, strong "power" movement and come to a dead stop... not even the tiniest tremor of a muscle indicating what effort such control demands... and on top of that, do it with breathtaking grace, elegance, and fluidity.
Every time I watch this -- or anything Nureyev does -- I catch myself shaking my head over and over, amazed and incredulous at what he's able to do with such apparent ease.
The night I saw this, I learned that a man can be strong yet graceful... that a man can fill an auditorium with his presence beyond the boundaries of mere flesh and bone... that a man can be commanding yet have a delicate interface with the world.
It was a wonderful night. Thank you so much for providing this video.
Sublime, magic!

His complexity, balancing & sublime movement is perfection. No one duplicated this very difficult lovey solo Nureyev created & effortlessly danced. Must be mental “high” to know one’s body can dance like a god, leg beats @ end, defying gravity.

The sleeping beauty até não me deixa em êxtase pela música mas Nureyev dança de tal forma que até esqueço que existo... Bolas! Thanks
Both his soul and his body are dancing,so the Pince says nothing,and his sorrow is exuded.

Love you, Rudolf, wherever you are. . . dancing on in some parallel universe, I hope. Still no one else like you, there never will be. . . .
Аnd l love you
Or just in the world of afterlife, dancing for his father who finally apologises for not believing in him.
Most beautiful man who ever lived-tiny little fellow.
He wasn't really tiny. He was about 5'7" or 5'8".

Rudolf Nureyev had a good sense of humor, and generosity of spirit, especially regarding dance. And he may have had more passion for dancing than any other dance artist I ever knew. When one of his choreographed productions was bought for and set on the company with which I was dancing, he seemed so genuinely happy to share it with us, throughout the weeks of preparation, and to be dancing the lead. He especially reveled in the comic character parts of his role, interacting with us and creating a full, humorous yet touching portrayal that was wonderful in the moment, and really paid off later, at the end of the piece. He could get VERY upset if something wasn't being done to his standards (I'm thinking of some technical, not dance, issues, that he felt could take away from the performance, due to timing of curtains and set movements). Besides everything else, he arranged for a buffet and celebration for the dancers onstage, after the opening performance, and no one was more excited and full of joy than he was.
AvalonMorley Thank you for posting this tribute. He was a sweet person and a VERY generous man with his time and talent who, because he had a basically gentle heart, felt he had to construct a scary persona to protect himself. But yes. Hell to pay for anyone who carelessly or inefficiently damaged his artistry. That scary persona was real and the measure of his love. He was a very great man who is often not given the credit he deserves. Thank you. Thank you.
That is a wonderful memory and tribute to this great man and artist. Thank you so much for sharing. Which production and company was it?
Absolutely breathtaking!
Che meraviglia!!!!!!!!☺☺☺
What a beautiful fifth position!
an amazing danceur!
Oooh everything he does is so beautiful. ❤️✨
i wish i had the chance to meet him!!!!
Brillian
thank you.
Малейшее движение_это кантилена!Гений!
Как божественно он танцует. Вадим Мунтагиров, новый премьер в ковент гарден. Хороший, но... И рядом не стоял с Нуреевым. И с Барышниковым тоже. Не танцуют так сейчас. И скрипач потрясающий играет. Я сама скрипачка, в этом разбираюсь.
Скрипка да, великолепна.
Удивительно,как может родиться такой талант! Такого танцовщика больше не будет. Красив,тонкая талия и мускулистые ноги, изумительная пластика. Потрясающий вкус. Гений.
Очень красивая фигура, красивые ноги, тонкая талия, и в то же время чисто мужское обаяние, мужская харизма. Красавец.
Само совершенство!
Indeed - Russian ballet FOREVER!!!!!!!!!
ЗАСТАВИЛ МНОГИ ПОЛЮИТЬ БАЛЕТ ! ПОСЛЕ ЕГО СМЕРТИ БАЛЕТ УМЕР
i love the almost "dumb young fellow" demeanor his dancing take on here. very nice, obvious, change.
Как он поглощен танцем, а не тем, как выглядит перед зрителем! за ним интересно наблюдать, как он танцует и какие эмоции испытывает.
Да,он божественен!Когда он сцене,никого больше не видишь.
Преклонение пред Гением!
Oh, he was such a total brat, but such a talented and rare brat that I welcome every excess with which he graced us.
cool
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
,,,,Love
@ajb1776 Well said! I totally agree with your statement. Bravo.
Thanks for the laugh - that is the best comment up there!
The way he could move his legs he would have been great at martial arts
AND HE'S GONE LIKE ANY MORTEL.
💞💋
an absolute pain that you can't see it any longer in detail.
And I bet the 2 of them are really getting it on. I wonder who is on top.
@crimsonregret0x0 Thanks crimsonregret I hadn't noticed it's now only 4 seconds! It used to be longer - the whole variation.
what year is this?
I cannot get this video clip to play - is anyone else having the same problem?
Not having been a Nureyev fan, I have never seen him dance solo better than this - I
believe he choreographed it - but I kept wishing he'd slow down a bit. For an interesting comparison, watch Roberto Bolle do the same solo.
This is an interesting solo. I've seen other productions on video that have the prince do a solo before the vision to show his loneliness. While the music here does convey emotions of being lonely, seeking for something unknown, IMHO, the choreography does not express those feelings. Instead, it seems Nureyev's prince is just doing steps to the music -- at times fast to match the quick violin, slow steps when the music slows -- never really showing what he is feeling, just what he can do.
I disagree. He expresses the music, Expression does not mean one has to do slow steps to slow music and fast steps to fast music. That is a limited palette of expression. Nureyev and the choreographer have advanced complex musicality in designing and performing this dance.
It’s his choreography. As I said elsewhere, he is not dancing to the music but with it.
@@neverlostforwords choreography is for dancing... And dancing, at least classically, should be done to the music, in a precise way. One could develop a dramatic scene moving in a "dancy" way over the music, maybe even making a contrast between one and the other... But I don't think that is in anyway classical. Feuillet, Rameau, Saint-León, Zorn and many other geniuses of classical ballet wouldn't approve, they wrote about how dancing should correspond and picture the music itself. Said that, Nureyev loved being over the music, he wanted choreography to be the main thing, and music in second, so sometimes there is a contrast between the moves and the music heard... I don't like him as a choreographer, but it's a good exercise of analysis.
i hope you can understand its not sexual.. but i so much want to feel his behind.. looks amazing (im not even close to dare to judge his performance.. absolutelly amazing)
@ai51inn It's only 4 seconds :s
I admit it -I'm a lascivious dog. Nureyev was hot - hot -hot!! Look for him on the internet for a full frontal nude photo of him done by the great photographer Avedon . Rudy was LARGER than life in many ways!
wow, he really cought me
Especially if they we female teachers ROFL!
His dancing is wonderful, but isn't it kind of disconnected from the music? Such a nice violin solo...
Hi dancing is beautifully expressive of the music.
He loved to “play with” the music. He adored music and was very musical. But rather than dancing TO it, he danced WITH it.
Wow, makes Edouard Lock's stuff look slow.
Min 0,35 il piu bel inchino all,amore che mai sia statto fatto !
He's with Freddie Mercury now
