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!
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 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
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.
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!!!!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
lui è stato brillante nella variazione, per quanto riguarda lei, Raymonda non è il ruolo che più le si addice, ma è vero che questo è un personaggio molto difficile da interpretare. Di sicuro una quadrupla pirouette è superflua in una variazione come questa in cui la tecnica dovrebbe essere invisibile. Grazie a Glazunov per la musica, indescrivibile per la quantità di emozioni diverse che provoca!
No doubt Tamara is a true beauty and a GREAT! ballerina. The BEST! However, something did seem a little off. I'm not sure what it was, nevertheless, I can watch her endlessly; she's that good.
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
