He is truly amazing. I saw him with the ABT this season in Bright Stream and it was terrific. I gather he's been asked to dance with the ABT next season in more roles. I can't wait.
Wow! I was so interested in one of the replies that I looked up old footage. How can one choose? Also, times change - Vladimir Vasiliev was superb. You can’t say anything more than yet. I was surprised with Barishnikov but someone pointed out he was very young. I was blown away by Vladimir - but - this one brings that something extra . I can’t pin what it is , just accept you’re in the presence of brilliance. Is he still dancing. Bribe seen him partnered with Natalia - now, there’s a dance match made in heaven. I know they’ve ‘moved on’, I’m just commenting on their stage presence. Thank you. This was/is superb 🙏🙏🙏 from Australia . January 2020
2017 this is the type excellence that will peak the youths interest in ballet. Ivan is a jewel, I am so sick of people focusing on his height, this man doesn't need height floats in the air and lands beautifully, he is the definition of a classical ballet dancer, none are alike, Ivan has a manly build, other men are more lanky but that doesn't mean they have better form, some males are short with long legs, Ivan is the same height as they but he has short legs, however that does not negate the fact that his dancing is breathtaking and beautiful not to mention he is a great partner with his ballerinas, so why not stop being unnecessarily critical and enjoy this classical jewel, he will be in the record books for decades to come that's for sure.
@@evgeny9965 tecnically ivan is terrific nothing to say about it ,but lacks the GRAVITAS on stage of some past stars like VLADIMIR LAVROVSKY VLADIMIR VASILIEV ETC
Very impressive. But I still prefer Mikhail Baryshnikov in this solo. He was every bit as athletic and daring as Vasiliev but had the benefit of having more turnout and a more classical line. His Don Q solo has been preserved for all eternity in the 1977 movie, “The Turning Point”. Anybody who is impressed with Vasiliev in this will appreciate Baryshnikov for his similar short stature and explosive technique but paired with a more classically proportioned body and an unmatched amplitude.
Oh, wow. He is so talented! Amazing height and stage presence! However, Angel Correla is easily my favorite ever to perform this variation and always will be.
@CobraGoo l saw all the great maledancers since early 70's till nowadays,the only one l never saw live was yuri soloviev ,the only one probabily at the same level of volodia vasiliev.ivan is simply fantastic,but volodia was far superior belive me.you are welcome regards enrico.
ivan is not so short he is around 176 cm misha was around 1'69.ivan is a great dancer ,but the greatest remains vladimir vasiliev misha and yuri soloviev.
yes misha (saw him many times live in his prime ) has better proportion ivan has short legs .also vladimir vasiliev was not tall more or less 172 but his good proportions made him look magnificent on stage .nureyev was more or less like me 174 .saw all them very close.
tasmandavids: you are exactly right. There is less better or worse and more a different style which gives us so much more to enjoy. Like whom you want but enjoy difference.
@stodolahumno Why does it matter who is more precise or better? They are both different? There is nothing unprecise about his dancing ... he lands everything ... he just has a different style ... Neither is better or worse just different .
@stodolahumno Wow--that's like comparing day and night. They are so different physically and stylistically that you can't make a real comparison. I personally prefer Corella's nimbleness and ability to stay in the air, but I'm always dumbstruck by the power and resoluteness of Vasiliev.
Good jumper. Dances Basil like he dances, or rather jumps, everything else. Here he has something resembling a line because it's still early days and he wears black tights. Tempo slowed down almost beyond recognition. Why? Nobody died...
I see. So Ivan Vasiliev is just a little taller than Mikhail Baryshnikov. I think what gives me the impression that Baryshnikov had a more classical line was his "more classical" proportions, and I mean specifically, his shorter torso and longer legs. Ivan Vasiliev may be taller in total, but his legs look short compared to the rest of his body. No question at all, he is absolutely brilliant and powerful, but his short legs rob him of that classical look that Baryshnikov had.
Umm people....... this is obviously Ivan. How does it not look like him? ANYWAYS thanks for this video he is super amazing and obviously not vladimir vasiliev since there wouldn't be video like this of him dancing at this calibre, when he was IVAN VASILIEV's age.
Why are you people always making this? Comparing EVERY DANCER THAT SHOWS UP WITH BARISHNIKOV? EVERY DANCER AND EVERY ARTIST ARE UNIQUE, NO NEED TO COMPARE...
Love the Spanish flair, the touch that gives huge character life beyond the dance!
THIS man is the kind of dancer for whom ballet was created! Words fail me!
Ohh Just Wonderfull! Extraordinary
Sou fã de Vasiliev. Ele é fantástico!!!
He is truly amazing. I saw him with the ABT this season in Bright Stream and it was terrific. I gather he's been asked to dance with the ABT next season in more roles. I can't wait.
я далёк от балета...глянул впечатлил впечатлил..красиво тонко.сильно
@GymnasticDancer saw volodia vasiliev when was young,and despite the fact l love and admire ivan,volodia was volodia.....no comparation

His line sucks.

me too still in 70's and despite ivan is a great dancer comparing him to titans as misha or vladimir vasiliev is hilarious ,belive me ,l saw .
It is not hilarious it is ignorant.
@@evgeny9965 tecnically ivan is terrific nothing to say about it ,but lacks the GRAVITAS on stage of some past stars like VLADIMIR LAVROVSKY VLADIMIR VASILIEV ETC
Amazing if you like gymnastics.
I agree!
Vaseilev is also interesting when arguing body types due to disruption of intended aesthetics.
VASILIEV the GREAT!
Wow. Bravo. Bravissimo.
AGREED!! Misha is my all time fav dancer but Vasiliev occupies my #2 slot. His
Spartacus is unmatched!!! I very much love Hideo as well.
Misha!!
Very impressive. But I still prefer Mikhail Baryshnikov in this solo. He was every bit as athletic and daring as Vasiliev but had the benefit of having more turnout and a more classical line.

No hay dos como Misha.Éñ es perfecto en todo!
Love the camera angle - thank you!
Vasiliev genial 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
this is not amazing...this is VASILIEV!!!
He has ruined his body. The line is gone . Enter him in the summer games .
Oh, wow. He is so talented! Amazing height and stage presence! However, Angel Correla is easily my favorite ever to perform this variation and always will be.

Just wonderful, bravo Ivan!
Amazing was Godunov
Идеальный и непревзойденный Базиль на все времена - ВЛАДИМИР ВАСИЛЬЕВ! Остальные рядом не стояли... И стоять не будут... Никогда...
Ivan Vasiliev tanzt wie ein Gott!
ivan is not so short he is around 176 cm misha was around 1'69.ivan is a great dancer ,but the greatest remains vladimir vasiliev misha and yuri soloviev.

those jumps he is doing are ivan vasiliev jumps. ive only seen him do them
tasmandavids: you are exactly right. There is less better or worse and more a different style which gives us so much more to enjoy. Like whom you want but enjoy difference.
Thank you for sharing this "footage" - pun intended:) Watching from a backstage angle makes it seem like I am actually there!

Tanto faz assistir da coxia ou da plateia de tão perfeito que é!!!!!!
He's the best!

never mind, he is vasiliev
You obviously like gymnastics.
@GymnasticDancer only one IMO,the unhappy YURI SOLOVIEV,the world never will see again dancer like them
Good jumper. Dances Basil like he dances, or rather jumps, everything else. Here he has something resembling a line because it's still early days and he wears black tights.
Tempo slowed down almost beyond recognition. Why? Nobody died...
@pediatrapaola I totally understand... no one can compare to Vladimir Vasiliev.
noooooo!!!! he ist the best of all the dancer , past and present
Dynastic ballet.

Así es!
Ballet dancers like him are athletes and should be called Athletic Primer Danseurs.
This dancer dance similar to Edward Villella.
Umm people....... this is obviously Ivan. How does it not look like him? ANYWAYS thanks for this video he is super amazing and obviously not vladimir vasiliev since there wouldn't be video like this of him dancing at this calibre, when he was IVAN VASILIEV's age.
JE l-ai vu quand îl y a eu 30 ANS DEPUIS sa mort.
Ivan occupies my #1 slot.
Yes he is impressive, but for me Angel Corella has that and precision too.
I do not think that was vasiliev, but it was very good
Thanks a lot for this. Yeah he is a God!
Yes, he is athletic! But baryshnikov is the best of them all!
Why are you people always making this? Comparing EVERY DANCER THAT SHOWS UP WITH BARISHNIKOV?
EVERY DANCER AND EVERY ARTIST ARE UNIQUE, NO NEED TO COMPARE...
@@marinamarina4731 i was thinking the exact thing as I read the above comment..
@@sevoleks Uds tienen razón...Pero Misha es el mejor de todos😘
How were people not cheering that entire time??? Do these people realize how amazing that was?? He is god!
а ваще книгу искал васильева фаирволл..
Thank you for your welcome, and yes I do realise that life has moved on. My opinion has no less and no more validity than yours.
that looks like vlademir vasilieve but it's not it's ivan
5.9 6.0 5.9 6.0 6.0 6.0 6.0

Нет, нет и ещё раз нет...
I have seen much better than this. Check out Angel Corella he is much more precise than Vasiliev.
