Steven McRae is the greatest male dancer since Baryshnikov. Stunning partnering, incomparable technique and outstanding panache. I have seen Rojo in other performances and she never seems to look very happy or engaged with the audience - though she danced beautifully here.
Wow - I have never seen anyone who can spin like Tamara - when she came out at 10:44 - she was spinning like a top. The coordination between the two dancers in the last act was terrific.
These two are fabulous together & their mutual concern for each other is obvious.....they richly deserve the encores. When they were first partnered, they looked like two rather small but athletic dancers. Well, they've lost the 'baby fat' and they are exciting to watch. One of my favorite couples, exciting to watch!
So beautiful! Very professionally, controlled & skilled, yet graceful, smooth, eloquent. I feel that the dress added to the beauty. It provided another element of beautiful motion. Perhaps those who criticize her dress are purists, who feel that the traditional tutu's way of being fixed in relation to the body, like the dancer's nose, is the only way to do it, but this dress is like an additional limb, which provides motion, like an arm or a leg.I find that an improvement over tradition.
Ottima performance caratterizzata da una mirabile maestria della ballerina nei passi sulle punte in veloce eundo e laterali .Ottima imptessione di facilità esecutiva d'acchito sorprendente per entrambi e di levità fatta tensione motile sorprendente nella ballerina.Ottimo l'impadronimento imperativo del proscenio da parte del ballerino a balzi falcati amplissimi ed a rotazioni volanti. Ottimo il senso del continuum dato alla pièce danzante dai protagonisti. Superlativi.Bighin Giulio Renzo 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
ive seen him many times live, never failed to amaze. great personality , a bit like a Baryishnikov can do anything including tap dancing, looks so natural with a cute smile. Shame as at the end of last season had an injury and was getting back to fitness when all this horrendous change of lifestyle set in. Just hope to god i get to see him live again and indeed any ballet, miss all my trips to live performances terribly
@@margaretlavender9647 Not necessarily and I don't need an English lesson. I meant nothing impolite or sexist by my comment made some years ago and I stand by it. I also refuse to be rude to anyone so thank you for the response.
I love the costumes!!! raymonda story can be taken part in a modern world because it's so flexible. but watching with the costumes is like watching a today's princess deciding her countries future. BRAVO!!!!
Maravillosa actuación con técnica impecable. El tercer acto de Raymonda es una preciosidad. ¡ No se me olvidará nunca, cuando Rudolf Nureyev hizo está parte del Ballet con El Royal Ballet en Londres que no se conocía en Occidente.
I agree with you. Looks funny to see Jean de Brienne in jacket and tie. Even so they're terrific. too bad there isn't a complete dvd of them doing Raymonda.
Lovely video. McRae's qualities as a partner are seldom commented on, but he's very good - secure and so forth, but he also keeps his ballerinas mood relaxed. I cherish the moments between scenes when I see the ladies laugh at some remark he's made.
SPECTACULAR! . ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL. MUSICALITY, TECHNIQUE.....THEILLING PERFORMANCE BY STUNNING TAMARA ROJO! WHAT FARUKH RUZIMATOV , THOUGH NOW RWTIRED, OR CHUPIN COULD DO WITH THIS ROLE WOULD BE BEYOND SUPERLATIVE. DID, HOWEVER, LOVE MCRAE.
PS --- This is not to say, that this was not good dancing. Tamara is always fantastic. Always great to see her dance; for that she does. She gives it her all. And, no other ballerina "goes for it". She's that courageous. Love her.
Just for the fact that Nureyev gave the West this exquisite version of the 3rd Act of Raymonda, he should be lifted up to heaven. Brilliant work Tamara. Steven doesn't understand anything about the character but dances perfectly well.
Marie-Agnes, Aurelie and Rojo. I love to run all 3 over and over. As an amateur fan of ballet, not crtical but Raymonda is my favorite. Glazunov's music is wonderful, especially the 3rd act, makes one think of Russia. Steven McRae is terrific and makes me think of Baryshnikov.
Oh my, there were moments here where Mr. McRae reminded me so much of Sir Robert Helpmann! Perhaps it is just the hair and makeup? Or is there something of Australia that shines through in both of them? Perhaps Mr. McRae is too young to have met Mr. Helpmann, but it is a wonderful legacy to carry forward.
Hello Kevin, Sadly I don't think they could have met,as Robert Helpmann died in 1986,the same year that Steven McRae was born.Who knows,mabye Helpmanns spirit transferred into Steven.Hope this doesn't freak you out?LOL
WOW!!! What kind of shoes does she wear? It looked like she was pushing over too far in the fast part of her variation. She might need stronger shoes. Other than that, STUNNING!!!!!!!!!!
I think the costume is interesting. it take us apart from the childish, boring, pancake tutu Raymonda, and Tamara performs a mature, even seductive Raymonda. Besides, when she turns (obviously the designer knew she is a great turner) the skirts goes up and u can see different colors from blue to white. Very nice performance :)
A joy to watch, how impeccable is Steven McRae, such beauty of line and what a partner for the delicious Tamara
This is the absolute best performance of this dance I’ve ever seen. Both dancers are incredible. ❤️
FANTASTIC!!!!! This pair is absolutely perfect together, both so athletic but exquisitely graceful, really something to behold!!
One is athletic and the other is graceful.

Spectacular!!! Both are amazing!!! He’s one of the best dancers ever
The piano part in Raymonda is one of the true gems of classical ballet ever
Bravo Steven McCrae...immaculate, pristine technique always...remarkable product of RAD....and he can tap also!
Raymonda can be interesting when done right!! THIS IS AMAZING
This is breathtaking. Just amazing!! Bravo👏🏻 I love these two dancers, Tamara and McRae.
Absolutely awesome; I loved this. Phenomenal performance!
Wow - I have never seen anyone who can spin like Tamara - when she came out at 10:44 - she was spinning like a top. The coordination between the two dancers in the last act was terrific.
Sylvie Guillem beats all and everything.

AMAZING the triple tours and fouettes and the ending just beautiful!!! their control and technique was spotless as well :)
I am always astounded by what these two dancers can do! Incredible! Inimitable!
Oh my I think Tamara Rojo is my new hero. Her solo was just flawless.
She is a woman. So, heroine.

This is beautiful...two brilliant Artistes. They outshine many other overhyped performers!!
Boy are they good !! Masters !! A joy to watch

Absolutely stunning. Bravo! Wonderful partnership.
Es difícil encontrar, en ambos, igual limpieza, elegancia y virtuosismo. Maravillosos.
hes like a ginger baryishnikov one of the royals most gifted dancers
ella es fenomel en todo lo que baila. todos expresan lo que sienten de diferente manera, hermoso como siempre tamara rojo
best pod ever! perfect match. that coda was everything.
Um par absolutamente maravilhoso com uma técnica irrepreensível. Bravo!
¡Superior!. Un final virtuoso.
Both fabulous!!!
Tamara has smiles aplenty when she's not on the stage... She just takes her dance seriously.
That was just phenomenal.
Absolutely amazing! Stunning !!
Maravillosa actuación con técnica impecable. El tercer acto de Raymonda es una preciosidad. ¡ No se me olvidará nunca, cuando Rudolf Nureyev hizo está parte del Ballet con El Royal Ballet en Londres que no se conocía en Occidente.
And They have amazing control! And it was very clean
Oh my god you are sooooooo talent!!! Love you so much!😘
Nunca vi nada igual! Perfeitos!!! Bravissimi!
wow his technique is so clean ...I love it !!!
This is perfection!
Outstandinggggg!!!! Bravo!!!!
My ever favorite dancers and my ever favorite Pas de deux. Gosh.
Brilliant !!!😊
I find Steven McRae very much like a feather blown by the wind and landed so lightly on the ground.
He is a feather but she isn't.
I agree with you. Looks funny to see Jean de Brienne in jacket and tie. Even so they're terrific. too bad there isn't a complete dvd of them doing Raymonda.
Steven McRae what a beautiful dancer and partner..
Yes, world ballet festival tokyo 2012. Wonderful master class in the scene
BRAVO such and amazing arch and technique both
He visto varias veces este baile y me sigue gustando como al principio.
хочу отметить отличное исполнение музыки оркестром. очень сбалансированное и харАктерное
Как мало мы видим такой красоты. В театре это воспринимается иначе!
Фантастика !
Lovely video. McRae's qualities as a partner are seldom commented on, but he's very good - secure and so forth, but he also keeps his ballerinas mood relaxed. I cherish the moments between scenes when I see the ladies laugh at some remark he's made.

TAMARA TI ADORO!!!!!!!
Raymonda virou minha variação preferida 😍
her variation was phenomenal! :D
I've never seen a ballerina attempt a quadruple pirouette in that last diagonal of her variation. She very nearly does it too! Brava!
PS --- This is not to say, that this was not good dancing. Tamara is always fantastic. Always great to see her dance; for that she does. She gives it her all. And, no other ballerina "goes for it". She's that courageous. Love her.
Goosebumps !

OMG!!! Amazing!!!
This is Class.
Bravo🎉
mind blowing! just wow
Crazy fun day on Mount Olympus.
Maravilloso!!!!!!
Marie-Agnes, Aurelie and Rojo. I love to run all 3 over and over. As an amateur fan of ballet, not crtical but Raymonda is my favorite. Glazunov's music is wonderful, especially the 3rd act, makes one think of Russia. Steven McRae is terrific and makes me think of Baryshnikov.
youdancefunny's channel
One never has enough Glazunov.
Muy bueno ambos bailarines excelente tecnica
i adore her
Bravo, Bravo ..............
What hauteur!
thanks for such an amazing video! was this from the world ballet festival?
Maravillosos!!!!!!!!!
She is so elegant
Maybe, he is?
Did you notice at the end of the coda on the supported pirouette, she keeps turning after he takes his hands away? Brava Tamara!
Writing from the recovery room, just a little screaming and crying and going insane. Rock-star things they do that have never been done.
Tamara is absolutely gorgeous, best Raymonda ever!
speechless just speechless...
ブラボー👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏💖💖💖💖💖💖
Astounding!
Wow! Thanks! Would there be anyway to buy dvds of this festival? And from previous years too?
Here chainees were superbly executed
were those triple tours in the finale?!
Yes
Meravigliosi
Very far from Nathalia Bessmertnova ( Bolchoi-1989 ) and Noella Pontois Paris-Opera ( 1983 ) videos Y T !
Bravissimo!

a danseur noble
Fantastic.
Y love you , Tamara Rojo
I absolutely loooooove her :D
whoa they are both so strong
WOW!!!
What kind of shoes does she wear? It looked like she was pushing over too far in the fast part of her variation. She might need stronger shoes.
Other than that, STUNNING!!!!!!!!!!
Omg! Truly spectacular..
つま先がしっかり伸びてて凄く綺麗
Yes, it was very cleanly done!
Their SO GOOD. I hate that she retired :(
Amazing.
Triple tours!!!!
Very much in poor taste to make disparaging remarks about such wonderful artists as these.
Tastes differ, you know.
