Beautifully done. Bravo. I was privileged to see him dance three times in London in the late 70s; once was with Dame Margot Fonteyn after she had retired; it was not advertised - it was a surprise performance and I just happened to be there!....They danced La Spectre de la Rose, and one of my deep desires was granted: to see them dance together. The feeling of power when he hit the stage was palpable, like a magic that flowed from him over the entire audience. He was utterly special, no doubt about it. I feel so fortunate to have seen him dance in person.
My mom was privileged to see him. He was 16 y.o. He started late in ballet, by any means. My mom watched him perform in Ufa, his home town and my home town. Even before he was picked by that famous St. Petersburg ballet academy, Vaganova. Earth did not give birth yet to any better ballet dancer than Rudolf Nuriev.
I was fortunate to have seen Rudolph Nureyev in the late 80s at the Palace Theater in Stamford, CT with my sons. They were attending a private school KLHT and had a performance of the “King and I” which the whole school was involved. But, what was interesting soon after the Palace Theater was having an event of the “King and I” with nonetheless with RUDOLPH NUREYEV and I thought my sons needed to see his performance. Needless to say, I had to see the play. After the show, we went to the back of the building and I told my sons that we MUST get an autograph from this GREAT ballet dancer. And YES… I did get to see him …. And I have his autograph!
I was privileged to know Rudy for over twenty years. We became lovers for a spell when he came to visit me in Saint Barthe in the French West Indies. We had such a wonderful friendship. I knew he was sick at the time, and it just seemed like a beautiful time in his life when he was very reflective on his entire life. We shared so many stories together. This was when Paris Opera Ballet went on strike, and he flew from Paris. We used to play Bach Fugues on my piano. We would read the biography of Oscar Wilde, which he longed to do a movie about. He was the greatest ballet noble ever. I knew Baryshnikov as well. You should’ve have heard Rudy talk about him. No love lost there.
I saw Nureyev dance, twice, when I was a teenager. Long time ago. Still moves me to tears to think about how moving his performances were. And I'm not even a big ballet fan. Extraordinary!
I had heard of Nureyev but knew little about ballet. But I went to see him in Boston when I was a grad student in Rhode Island in the 1970s.I thought I might not be skilled enough to see his mastery. Then he came out on stage. I kid you not- he made the other dancers look like they were wearing lead shoes. He hung in the air as though he could remain there at will. I can still see it. I hope I never forget it.
I saw Barishnakov in the theater and said no one could dance like him. Then I saw Nureyev dance...they were totally different: Bari powerful and Rudi graceful: both astonishing, both masters.
You just can't help but admire Clara Saint: her quiet poise and calming presense and her whole demeanour, so noble and dignified 💖 And the actress was a perfect casting choice. She did a great job portraying Clara 👏
Thank you for this doc. Interesting after having seen the movie. I love everything about Nureyev: his courage, his talent, his beauty, his charisma, etc.
What a brilliant artist , I always felt so sad for him. I am happy that he was able to stay In France even if he tragic end was so sad. I used to go to the Russian orthodox church in St- Geneviève des-Bois to visit his grave may he rest in peace.❤❤❤
I was able to see Baryshnikov dance.in NYC when he was at his peak. Magical experience. I have only seen Nureyev in videos and he is the perfect male dancer. Also, such a beautiful face. He was taken from us too soon.
Wonderful video..he was a special soul..very talented and a freedom lover....they all lived in a very difficult controlling world which seems to carry on still...😮
A lot of thanks the channel for posting Nureyev one of the Great Russian dancer and one of the Best in the dancer history of the world. Nyjinsky, Nureyev and Barishnicov without doubt the best in our memory beyond time. Greetings from Uruguay.😊
sí , es asombroso como se parece a Noureev , y efectivamente hace una magnífica interpretación . Como bailarín es fabuloso . Este film es una verdadera maravilla ❤
l feel _terrible_ for poor Yuri Soloviev. l believe he suffered so much because of the pressure from the KGB. Weather his death had anything to do with it ...l dont know, but its known that he never joined the communist party. Good on him for sticking to his conviction. Amazing dancer too! He was just splendid!
In fact, Nureyev had purchased expensive costumes and wigs (for Sleeping Beauty) and had them shipped back to Leningrad for his future performances before he ever defected... a certain sign he planned to return to the USSR. The decision was all made at the airport.
I think that was part of the ruse. He died a millionaire and knew what awaited him in the west. His biggest miscalculation was how much he thought the royal ballet in London would want, cherish and keep him. He started so late and he always struggled with his flexibility and technicality and it makes a difference, training a growing body into a sport and training someone almost done growing their body. I teach horseback riding and I’ll tell you…..my adult amateurs take so much longer to achieve what children and youths do. It’s best to learn a sport or art before you’re done growing. I have many automatic responses and muscle memory when it comes to swimming (I almost went to the Olympics), riding (my family was not supportive and my education I worked for incredibly hard. I also played volleyball and skied competitively and as a woman in her late thirties I have gone years away from each sport except riding (only one brief break, it’s so expensive) and it isn’t hard to come back. The training and muscle memory was laid down as I was developing and my brain and body are rusty but remember. I think he could have been the greatest male ballet dancer of all time, had he only started in childhood and had more stability in finding his ballet home. He danced longer than any of them and it shows you how hard you can work if you really want something and achieve it.

Superb documentary/drama, Made by IWC Productions for the BBC in 2015, Clara Saint was an amazing woman, That French Communist Party members threw glass onto the stage when he danced after he defected tells you what apparatchiks they were, I can imagine Sartre throwing glass onto the stage, Nureyevs face is like the face of Boris Pasternak, Same cheek bones, He looks like an Arab and the Arabs horse
My dads birthday just before I was born yet as a ballet kid he and Margo were everything to me. I thought all guys looked like that! ( Unfortunately not 😂)
Swan Lake was performed at the Wilbur Theater in Boston. Robin Hope Mason had two friends from New York City visit us. They invited us to go to the ballet with them. We went. The box office was sold out. Brash and bold, they walked around to the stage door entrance with an air of supreme confidence and because they were friends of Nureyev, the guard thought they were dancers , I suppose, and we entered backstage, they found an exit near the rear of the audience. We stood beside a column and watched the entire ballet featuring Margot Fontaine and Rudolph Nureyev. Afterwards they were going to a restaurant to join Nureyev. “He likes boys,” the man smiled. Robin and I left them and went home to my house at 48 Centre Street in Roxbury, Massachusetts. I have no regrets.
I have many Russian-related references that indicate this pursue of perfection that is mentioned in the documentary. Mind how much we could achieve if we learned to build bridges, instead of walls and iron curtains.
The "luck in the blood" means some people dare to follow their heart even if it leads them through unspeakable dangers, and the dangers won't touch them. That's because when you follow your heart, the powers of the Universe are working for you and give you wings, till the very end, to reach your destination.
И Артём Овчаренко прекрасно исполнил роль Рудика Нуреева❤❤❤

It is important to understand that Nureyev didn't just defect to the West for artistic freedom... which makes a great propaganda story... but that he actually defected for erotic freedom. 7 years in a Soviet Union Prison is a considerable motivator... because beyond the unpleasantness... it would have been the end of his art and career... simply at the service of Abrahamic Western heterosexual tyranny... whether Marxist or not. Keep in mind that if you were a young homoerotic male in the late 5O's... much less a dancer... living in a world as officially and legally homophobic as the Soviet Union... you too would probably be quite frustrated and angry at everything all of the time... even... or perhaps especially... if you didn't yet fully understand what was going on. Which is why... subconsciously at least... he had no choice.
So now he is All about LGTB! Sex was not at All - that important for him - quality of company made the World interesting for him,,,male or female,,,he was beyound that and in search of beauty....please stop using him for political posters!
@Johney Smith You again? What is your problem? I repeat: You sir are a humongous idiot. I grant you that Russian dancers were and are probably better than ours. On the other hand you have to be in a rare class of stupid to suppress a talent like Nureyev, like you Russians did in the 60's. Your loss, our win. At least here in Europe we let him express himself, not only in dance but also in love. So go away, you miserable little awful narrowminded person, and keep your bigoted opinions to yourself. You disgust me.
@Johney Smith the press and politicians used him. The fans use everyone, even in Russia. Everyone knows he had technical issues but he had personality which is why the West won. No personality in mother country. Niet.

Fantastic!
Барышников хороший гимнаст, ему до Нуреева и Годунова не допрыгнуть.
Не люблю изящных мужиков. А Нуриев слишком старается, а я отношусь к нему прохладно.
Барышников танцует спортивно а Нуреев - необыкновенно!
Никто из них не сравнится с Годуновым! Саша бог сцены , Аполлон!
Clara Saint,,,bless you - for providing a bit of purity in Joy (laughter) and friendship....nobody should taint that!

Yes..
Thank you for this doc. Interesting after having seen the movie. I love everything about Nureyev: his courage, his talent, his beauty, his charisma, etc.
I'm glad you like it) He's inspirational...
Can you please let me know the name of the movie? I’d love to see it. Thanks!😊
Wonderful documentary. Thank you.
He was so beautiful!!! I don't care if he was gay, he still forms an important part of my fantasies.
He was bisex 😃
He was beautiful😊

He was on his way to an early death by his tragedy. I recommend you watch the performance by Roman Viktyuk about Nureyev, about his tragic life.
Wonderful video..he was a special soul..very talented and a freedom lover....they all lived in a very difficult controlling world which seems to carry on still...😮
I met Nureyev after he performed Afternoon of the Fawn (L’Aprés de une Fuene (?)) in Chicago. I was 16 and it was an experience I’ll never forget
Thank you for his story
Gelmiş geçmiş en iyi balet ve karizma

Sorry, nobody can portray Rudolph Nureyev. He was unique
What courage,for whatever reason,to escape the oppression of freedom,rather than accept it❤
Cannot wait for when the Nureyev movie comes out this year!
The film is called The white crow and it's directed by Ralph Fiennes. The trailer is on UA-cam now.
Thanks! Now I know too about "The white crow"
@@kotechkachanel8397 It's my pleasure to assist. After watching the trailer, I became enamored by him and his life. It's a weird feeling.
It is impossible to be indifferent to him because he was the unique dancer and person. So, his life really was like as "the white crow".
I havnt seen The White Wolf yet, it is showing near me for the next few days but I bet that this is just as good !
Seguramente , junto con Vaslav Nijinsky , el más grande bailarín de ballet clásico de la historia!!!

Divino Rudolf Nureyev
It is as if he were touched personally by the Gods and given advantage to honor their existence and power over all of man’s.
Yes, that is it.
Yes, or like a demi god such as Hercules.. some ability that goes beyond human power.. 🕊 NZ

No, No - Ralph did Lots of obscure research - this was also a part of it, part,,,,of IT:)
