G.Gershvin_G.Balanchine - Who cares? 1970,avi 

So many harsh critics below. This company did very well by Mr.B’s choreography, considering that they hadn’t the benefit of class with Balanchine that week, or year. A little slow, but with more than a little excellent technique. When I watch works by George, I tend not to judge the dancers because I view the performance as a marvel of his choreography. I only see him as he made the dances; I like to see what he did with familiar music. Always dazzling. Always lovable. His miracle of creativity lives on. So I’m grateful to any and all dancers who take on Balanchine.

Баланчин пропел музыку Гершвина человеческим телом ! Бравом танцорам !

Самое лучшее видео, которые я видела с этим спектаклем. Абсолютно живые, эмоциональные артисты балета. Эмоционально и технически сильный спектакль, хотя прошло 53 года. Великолепная постановка, великолепное исполнение!

Love that Balanchine choreography! Very tough to pull it off. Patty McBride had the original quirkiness and incredible finesse with the quick foot movements! These dancers did a great job with some tough steps. Music is so dreamy!!

Somebody Loves Me - 4:59 Fascinating Rhythm - 27:47 I've Got Rhythm - 36:52

This performance was recorded live in the Muziektheater Amsterdam on 22 November 2005, performed by the Dutch National Ballet and Holland Symfonia, conducted by Roy Goodman.

Все прекрасно, и музыка, и таннец, и исполнители!!!!

Thank you for offering the NYC Ballet in Gershwin Who Cares? Balanchine created a ballet company uniquely American without losing techniques which were recognized movements in European companies. Congratulation to him for what he brought to the ballet world.

Сочетание классических движений с джазом очень впечатляет. Энергия музыки Гершвина точно передает Америку. Здорово, что мы такие разные!

"Who Cares" is a wonderful ballet, which not only retains the beauty of classical ballet, but injects fresh vitality by borrowing other artistic materials.

I have danced that part with the 5 guys and trust me it is the most pleasant thing you can do 😊🎉❤

Очарована! Гении музыки и танца!

22:15 jumping girl variation is my favorite

I'm not much of a judge of ballet--though I enjoyed this--but I can tell you that the orchestra is superb under Roy Goodman.

Thanks for this! Great choreography, music score, orchestration. I really liked that the cast included so many races, different body types. I agree that it could be a little looser and bigger; but I thought they did a good job!

Excellent...as good as NYC Ballet, seen many times there. Bravo!!! Music included....great orchestra.

Thanks Elliott.

Thank you so much for posting this! I love this ballet and this company did a fantastic job of bringing it to life. You made my day.

Великолепный кардебалет!

Thank you for sharing this!!! Love it!

Thank you for posting this, enjoying it very much.

The Man I Love pas de deux is such a beautiful thing!

Ezt tancoltam .. imádtam🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤

53 years old performance..oh my god..the dancers are 70 or 80+ years old..❤❤❤❤❤

LOVED IT! GREAT MUSIC! SPLENDID COMPANY!

Cool to see how Balanchine reimagined many character movements into contemporary ballet movements.... He was such an innovator

Lindíssimo sem palavras!!!

Nagyszerű, gratulálok..Nagyon jó elöadás.Üdvözlö tisztelettel és köszönettel, György Tibrea (Gheorghe Țibrea)

wonderful performance and music

I love it, its like watching a fred and ginger movie only in balletic style. As i love both im well happy with it. A different take on ballet altogether much more light hearted expext gene Kelly's to appear any moment

I love this ballet and have enjoyed this performance several times already. Thank you for uploading it! Baryshnikov did a very nice televised performance of the abridged concert version in the 1980s with, if I remember correctly, Julie Kent, Leslie Browne and Deirdre Carberry of ABT. Would like to see that on RU-vid one of these days.

Absolutamente fabuloso.

Наконец-то целиком! Спасибо.

Gershwin Tunes - Sweet and Lovely.

BRAVO!!!!!

Their American accents are perfect--they could go straight to Broadway, which I mean as the highest compliment. And the orchestra sounds fabulous. Now if only someone would make a ballet of Jerome Kern songs . . . Justin Peck, are you listening?

Beautiful.

Soft and bleh. This music is incredibly dynamic and playful, they didn't do it justice.

Love it!

Wonderful...

In my earlier comment I mentioned an abridged version of Who Cares from the 1980s featuring Baryshnikov and three ABT ballerinas: Christine Dunham (not Julie Kent, as I mistakenly thought), Leslie Browne, and Deirdre Carberry. Well, "brener dance" has uploaded it as part of a Baryshnikov Dances Balanchine program that opens with Apollo. The picture quality is not good but the performances are even better than I remembered, and the tempos are nice and brisk.

Até hoje, não vi melhor performance desse ballet do q a do American Ballet em 1983 (se não me engano), com Baryshnikov, Christine Dunham, Leslie Browne, e Deirdre Carberry. Maravilhosos em técnica e interpretação!

Hyper beau super style

UNA BELLEZA DE MÚSICAY BALLET .-.-.-

This is such a wonderful ballet, and the dancers here are terrific, but some of the Balanchine jazziness is missing, as are some of the steps. It's still great to watch, though, and the performers are beautiful.

Spettacolare

Love this. My studio is doing parts of this ballet and I got out in the part that is the credits song.

Great

Only thing im not gone is the arrangement of songs

I was looking forward to seeing what they would do with one of my favorite ballets--especially the Gershwin score. The performance, I thought, was a bit disappointing. A lot of port de bras and epaulement were not fully completed. Some of the corps had little spirit and just looked out at the audience. The men, I think, looked most comfortable in the Balanchine loose-limbed American style and were more musical. The lady soloists were good. However, the Asian soloist in red did not have a clue; she probably had the best classical technique, but she didn't understand at all the use of the hips and the signature off-balance syncopation. She just seemed determined to perform the steps perfectly--and she did, like a classical ballerina. It would have been nice that two of the other men were involved in the soloist pas de deux. Not sure if Mr. B. cast only one male soloist in 3 pas de deux. The company has excellent feet and legs, but, with the exception of some ladies in the corps, I was not convinced that everyone was giving their all and really communicating those wonderful Gershwin tunes. A few people showed some joyful, flirtatious chemistry with their partners. Maybe the company just needs more rehearsal (coaching) and a more "who cares" attitude.

Любите эту хореографию бала тн

22:15- 23:57 my fav🌹

They don't have the American way of moving that makes this ballet truly work. It's something that can't be taught.

22:15 Stairway to Paradise

ballanchine : to see Music and hear Dance. here you see and hear it . its fact. ps.with love from vienna Austria

No Little Terry , I made my peace with god a long time ago, I'm happy ! .........

ahora soy fan de este ballet felicidades

C'est sympa. dommage que la synchro ne soit pas plus stricte !

What’s the title of the song at the very beginning???

The costumes are too dark and blend into the background. What were they thinking?

1:20 1:45 2:24 3:12 3:33 3:56 4:11 5:09 5:25 5:46 5:54 6:28 6:57 8:10 10:59 11:19 13:14 37:35 38:07

27:45

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NOT BALANCHINE, more like Balanch, (slowed down,with omissions)so is Who Cares assassinated

C'est très beau mais je regrette quand même la version antérieure à celle-ci avec Patricia Mac Bride , du point de vu style balanchine .

At me everything plays normally and correctly. Try to update codecs - has to help

quali sono le canzoni di ogni balletto ? quali sono di gershwin ?

The dancers are actually lovely, but they simply don't have the looseness, the gaiety, or the jazz idiom necessary. So many moments that should be, as another comment says, slap-ball-change, NOT pas de bourree--or a chorus girl BUMP, not a polite ballet move. The double pirouette at the end of Embraceable You is exemplary, and the jumping girl does many good things, but...

The dancing needs to be a little more “American” - freer, looser, slightly messy, space-devouring and very energetic. It’s all very beautiful but a little too careful, prim even.

What's the name of the piece starting at 4:59?

I performed this at the Opera Zurich in 1980 being part of the orchestra in the pit. What a joy! A score and choreography for the ages. I´ll never forget it! Wonder what kind of arrangements of this score I´ll find for my Black Forest Wind Band that plays on the highest level. Any advice?

22:14 what is the name of the music pleaaaaaase

Yes it's kind of like when opera singers try to sing pop songs or jazz standards. Somehow it is technically correct and lovely, but somehow still misses the mark because it is too exacting.

😀

5:05 five girls one dance

love the ballet. the dancers have good technique but not the "American" style.

didn't really get a good feel about this to be honest

the man of the solo at 35:30ish makes me I wanna go to sleep..

the WORST recording of this piece which can really be a masterwork. With of course a completely different cast (-:

22:15

needs to be more jazzier and playful. its way to focused on technique.

I looked performed by troupe of the ballet San Jose (USA) - the technician bad, big impression I didn't make. Here it is much better!

9:47

1:33

0:11

los rusos no tienen el feeling de este tipo de ballet combinado con jazz

You can tell they are not Balanchine dancers. They go through the motions..

22:08 - 23:58, 32:45 - 34:50

Tempi is too slow in so many places, it sounds like elevator music from the 1960’s. No Balanchine methodology at all. Vanilla,vanilla, vanilla.

38:41

Com a música e os figurinos Balanchine pretende ser "moderno" mas não deixa de ser académico. Nada de novo.

☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️

I can't watch!

Hate to say so, but where’s the energy? Flat champagne.

22:16 YIKES...musicality ALL wrong!

M

I love Balanchine, but this one just doesn't do it for me... 🤷‍♂️

The style is not there, nope, better get a good Balanchine coach , but it will take a while for this dancers to loosen up ....

I would'nt say this is ballet. It looks like a night variety.

Nope! Gershwin was great but the dancers all look terribly uncomfortable! So, I would skip the revival of Who Cares?
