Manuel Legris is my favorite of all of them. His technique, his flow, his obvious enjoyment of what he is doing, the way he rises into the air, unlike others who seem to throw themselves. I just had the most enjoyment watching Legris. He isn't showy or fiery, he flows like a river with strength and grace.
Ugh, those Rudi rond de jambes. What was his obsession with those? As usual, Legris is perfection itself. I LOVE these compendiums you do, thank you so much.
I like Legris rushing on stage in pursuit of Aurora... the others just show up "here I am to do the variation" And this variation is where Nureyev's choreography gets too much for me. To many steps :( It should be a joyous event but the dancers don't have any time for projection between pirouettes, jumps and rond de jambe. Nureyev almost manages to project joy, IMO, during the diagonal, but in the later version he's put pirouettes in-between jumps...
+oldoperafan I like him in Sleeping Beauty, I actually like him in almost everything :) He is what brought me to this channel in the first place, Navarre was praising his arms to the heaven in some comment somewhere and I thought to look up his/her channel...
+ballet janie I am now still discovering Legris in retrospective. A beautiful journey full of adventure. I really only noted him previously when he danced Albrecht as guest with other companies.
Vainqueur Legris. The best. technic perfect. French Style perfect. Bolle trop lent. Too havy too slow. Hilaire trop forcé. too hardGanio. Very beautiful but no so perfect tecnic as Legris and a littel slower also as Bolle. But not soo havyNoureev....... seems older beside the other. Not same generation . Can't be compare.
Какая мощная энергетика у Нуреева! Все остальные просто "спят".
Nureyev, his technics and virtuosity are supérior !!! A master!!!

There is no doubt whatsoever. Legris is the king. Graceful but passionate and technically perfect. What an incomparable artist he is!
Nureyev
Рудольф бесподобен и неподражаем!!!
For me Nureev is better by far
Benz yes.

Легрис _Достойный ученик Гения!!!
Жаль, что не включили Хейманна, он наиболее близок к идеалу!
Le.corsere.neeriryhev.sublime..On. ne voit. Plus.cela.merci
All of them great dancers.Legris and Bolle in this performance the best in my opinion....
Thanks. Perhaps could you add Heymann (also available on YT). Desiré is on of his best roles...
You're missing Mathias Heymann. I though he did a fabulous job in this variation, dare I say it, better than Manuel Legris.
Navarre Brixen There's more of Mathias SB variations in the channel. Unfortunately, the 1st variation is not there.

+oldoperafan Take a look at him in Spectre de la Rose... he's amazing. My favorite male dancer from the Rudi POB era.
+kabardinka1 And the TPdd!
Legris the best
