A coupling made in heaven. They complement each other so well, and you believe the story they are telling. Many of today's dancers put technique over performance, which should include emotion without histrionics and hyper extensions, involving the slowing down of tempo to produce them. There is an intangible about Fonteyn and Nureyev. Everything they do seems so right, almost like the standard. Thank goodness for these recordings.
Сколько раз смотрю и с каждым разом всё больше прекрасных нюансов открывается! Спасибо большое, что есть записи спектаклей с Нуреевым! Очень впечатляет, что на сцене работают все артисты - спектакль делает кордебалет! Очень музыкально всё, оркестр играет великолепно.
I’m very happy to have found this channel. I think there is too much emphasis today on technique and athleticism. Artistry is diminished in favour of hyper extensions etc which to my eyes are not always attractive. The partnership of Fonteyn and Nureyev was a “partnership made in heaven” to quote the English critic Mary Clarke. Certainly, the stars were aligned in that Nureyev came to the West at just the right time. Are there better technical dancers today? Of course, there were in his own day. Didn’t he say, “if you think I’m good, you should see Soloviev.” But he was the first, and for me the last. I’ve never seen a dancer like him and I doubt I ever will.
If you are meaning by hyper extensions, the vertical splits by ballerinas these days, I totally agree: I think that they are ugly. Some are more extended than vertical and to me they look horrible. Perhaps it was a good idea to extend that way to some extent, but it is tooooo far IMO!
Большое спасибо за великолепное "Лебединое озеро" с Нуреевым и Фонтейн. Можно ли на вашем канале посмотреть "Сильфиду" и "Жизель" с Рудольфом Нуреевым и Карлой Фраччи?
A beautiful production in terms of scenery and expression, but how much the dancers' physical abilities have evolved since then. And Nureyev's choreography lacks the fire of the original version, especially in the dance of the black swan
Thank you for your comment! I do agree that physical ability has evolved, not only for ballet dancers but in a general way of living around the world. I am sure if Nureyev or any other dancers from that time were training in current requirements, they would be doing just as well as they did in their time. But remember that ballet is an art form where we connect on an emotional level, not only on the dancers' physical abilities. And that's why when we watch Fonteyn and Nureyev dancing, we experience those beautiful emotions! Thank you for watching my posts!🙏🎵💖🩰
@@retrotheatretv I reconsidered what you wrote. And I looked again at Nureyev and Fontayn in this ballet and compared it to today's ballet performances. Today's top dancers have both artistic ability and expression. Take a look at Friedemann Vogel or Petra Conti, for example. I definitely agree with you that Nureyev and Fontayn would have achieved the same skill level with the appropriate training. In any case, it's a pleasure to see the two dance. But I miss the fire of today's dancers. I wish you a nice week !😊🍀🌞🌻🐞
Thank you for your comment! I understand what you are saying! With all great young and extremely talented ballet performers nowadays, no one will have what the Fonteyn and Nureyev have had, the time of the last century with the uprising the ballet, the eastern world (young man from Soviet Union) collided with western world (older mature established western women), where they are both enhanced each other lives, though friendship, partnership, workmanship and brought all that to their emotional performances! That what I see! 🙏
@@sedekiman824 He’s a frickin Prince! He doesn’t need to worry about where his next meal is coming from. He goes back to the castle, sits in his Royal dining chair, and servants bring his food. And you can bet he’s not eating swan!
Hunting was always a recreation of the aristocracy, as they possessed the land. And swan meat was reserved for royalty. This tradition survives in the fact that in the UK, all wild swans still belong to the crown.

I absolutely agree with you! Thank you for being here and enjoying those recordings!🙏❤️
I think Rudolph and Margot the only divine couple of all times.None After Them.❤

Fire and ice. They are Iceland.
I could never tire of watching this. I hope someone uploads the Nutcracker ballet (full version) with Margot Fonteyn.
magnifique et légendaire version, très bien filmée, j'en ai presque pleuré, aïe caramba !
Сколько раз смотрю и с каждым разом всё больше прекрасных нюансов открывается!

Чайковский-гений! Это шедевр классической музыки! Непревзойденный! Каждый раз слушая эту музыку, открываю для себя новые истины классики.❤

Hola, fuego o pasión no le falta, es la visión del coreógrafo, para mi.
Meanwhile America has Snoop Dogg and Diddy smh
If the prince thinks the swans are so beautiful, why does he want to KILL one?
To eat?
