her arm movements were sublime.....
I saw them dance Swan Lake at Nervi in an outdoor theatre under a full moon. Magic
Slay me ! How wonderful--peak memory.
J saw them in Sleeping Beauty ( Marseille Opera 1970 ) also 1965 ( movie film ) Fonteyn was a calamity Notoriety because she danced with Noureev , it's mediatic fact so Notoriety of Fonteyn not by her talent !
Fonteyn was the personification of grace and elegance.
What a gift to be able to see them together recorded for posterity. Brings me to tears.
They absolutely liberated each other. She was laughing for the first time shamelessly as it should be.
They were destined to dance together in all the immensity of space and time, they simply had to be... UTTER PERFECTION!
The stars were in perfect alignment when Margot's and Rudi's paths crossed. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
two beautiful souls who worked and played together for years.
stuff that dreams are made of ~
It was a nice interview; I'm glad that they got along so well; it could have been awkward. I saw them in Romeo & Juliet once, and they suited each other very well. She didn't have the extension that modern ballerinas have; but she was a wonderful actress, an attractive woman, and had great warmth/audience connection. I think too there was great intelligence; she speaks very well in this interview, and seems very self-aware/practical/nice. Nureyev also comes across well, not overly impressed with himself, and an artist. Of course, they gave ballet a great lift with their partnership and star appeal! The time I saw them, the audience went absolutely wild; it was astonishing, but deserved.
Thank you for the opportunity to see this wonderful documentary
Rudolf Nureyev is surely one of the most attractive men of all time.
That excerpt from Giselle was magical. Breathtaking.
Their Giselle was the best Giselle ever in all history of dance. Like their Swann Lake.
In Russia, Rudi danced with several much older ballerinas... Dudinskaya (who was 7 years older than Margot) and Alla Shelest (who was the same age as Fonteyn). Also, London had fairly recently seen a Bolshoi tour starring Galina Ulanova (who was 9 years older than Fonteyn) be partnered by Nikolay Fadeyechev (who was 23 years younger).
He was gorgeous
Bless there souls ❤❤❤ they both will always be legendary an an example of what dance should be.
I saw him in Chicago in 1966 in high school, I was 18 going on 19.
Even though Rudolf was mostly gay, I think he loved Margot deeper than the blue sea and if it hadn't been for Tito's accident, they would have also had an offstage love relationship. They definitely did on stage. Beautiful together ❤
I think exactly the same. According to the witness of his reaction when she died, he was in a such desperation, that it is not mad to think she was the great love of his life, despite her gender. Even more or equal to the love he felt for Erik Bruhn.
I agree! And Margot hinted at it herself
Probably the greatest performance of Giselle ever recorded. Their symmetry and synergy is unearthly. Perhaps (although I hate to compare) perhaps other ballerinas did Giselle as beautifully but not as a pair. Just look at the final arabesque with the two together. Just the beauty of the line of the two together…and Margot Fonteyn’s famous arabesque is phenomenal
Yes!!!!!!! Yes ! Indeed!
Too lovely sp perfect
greatest Giselle is Galina Mezenzeva Kirov 1960 , of course youtuber you don"'t known !
a joke bad joke here by youtubers who have never seen Fonteyn in live , it's a,fact here
Took my breath away. I had to go back and watch the final arabesque again. I thought it was a still!
Absolutely fascinating. Wonderful to hear Fonteyn’s story. What an amazing dance partnership, Was meant to be 💗
"Only her."
Fonteyn had a disabled husband and Nureyev was alone in the world after his defection it probably brought them closer together. They loved to dance and both benefited from their relationship. Culturally and emotionally.
she beneficied mainly for her Notoriety , j think she would be totally unknown in 2023 , really
@@alainspiteri502 She had a carrier and a name before her dancing with Nureyev. So when they started dancing together she opened doors for him that wouldn’t have opened vey easily. Every company has their own dancers that they are promoting. Coming from the outside even when you come from Kirov or Bollshoi takes a while. So they both benefitted and also the harmony and affection between them was a great contribution to dance. They remained friends and Nureyev helped her financially when she needed it later in life.
Her husband became “disabled” years later after the start of their partnership -- he was shot (and subsequently paralyzed for life) after trying to stage a coup in his home country of Panama
Инвалид он стал много позже , причем по своей глупости - он был большой любитель чужих жён.
Two seconds in and I'm being electrified. Thanks god this moment was recorded.
Unbelievably and perfectly performed! ❤️
Супер,супер люди,браво!!!
And,,Beautiful photos.
Thank you.
It is very interesting because there was a mutual respect and the gap age was a challenge but also a motivation and sometimes they have different opinions about interpretation, what he properly explained about Swan lake.👏🌹🎶🙏
True artistry
Very moving words.
Admiration is much more than love! Bravi!!!
Beautiful . Magical.
This is wonderful. Thank you. 🌹
In a way, the age difference really worked in their favor because although they challenged each other professionally, their relationship wasn't complicated by a love affair or competition - they each knew the value of the other's contribution and knew that it worked to the advantage of both.
And Rudolf left a mother and sisters behind in Russia and must have felt that she offered a nurturing influence as a dancer and as a Westerner who had already earned the respect of her peers and the public during her long career.
They did have a love affair. It is believed Margot miscarried his baby. He was gutted.
Rudolf Nureyev was gay, absolutly gay. At the time, in USSR, being gay was a crime, punishable by goulag. It is normal that he tried to pass for a straight man. But it seems to be true that he was in love with Margot despite her gender. In fact he was in love of the genius couple of dancers they formed.
Solo porque Margot no era medio asiática pudo este genio eslavo hacer Match con ella. Bénditos sean ambos y lo que nos obsequiaron. Si existe cielo siguen bailando
THANKYOU❤❤❤❤
Can't get any more elegant and divine than this
Grandes expoentes da dança! Maravilhosos!
Как она все таки красива, умна, элегантна
И Руди о ней так тепло говорит ❤️
Oh Margot's arms!
All I see, particulary, after this interviews with them, is that they both enjoyed their relations Look at their happy faces! By their own admission, they became "one soul and one body". that astounded an audience, making them to rapture with genuine emotions. This phenomena made this inimitable duet the most admired and beloved in ballet history! Had Margo have this "gymnastic" legs extension, her perfomance in Giselle, I think, wouldn't be so magical! It looked to me, like a unearthly delusion, where dancers "soared" above the stage, with a perfect spiritual and artistic unison. They, probably could've been together in real life, but the noble Dame Margo Fonteyn couldn't leave her paralyzed husband. By the way, he's been shot by his lover's jealous husband and poor Margo had to take of him for rest of his life, living in the farm with him.
i didnt know the legendry second ballerina went out with a fellow performer
i hear the british love her especially chalmers who calls her 'le grande dame'
but the bolshoi will not entertain her
and neither will most of europe
i think its sad especially when she was told she would never dance again
either to sickness or age
its so sad shes dead we will never hear her footsteps again
I was able to enjoy Rudolf in concert and have sitting behind me another up an coming ballet star Bresniekof ( sorry for incorrect spelling)
I saw him dance in Pasadena, California, during one of his last performances. It was a dance concert dedicated to the memory of Isadora Duncan. I believe he passed away a year or two later.
The last time he danced on stage was in 1991, i think.
@@normezmoi, Then I must be correct in my calculations. I think the performance I saw was in 1989 or 1990.
@@johnsarkissian5519 It was 1989. One of the last times he performed in the US. The piece about Isadora Duncan was danced by Lynn Seymour of the Royal Ballet. Sad to say he got terrible reviews as he did for most the last 3-4 years he danced.
@@kabardinka1 Yes, you are absolutely correct! I remember Lynn Seymour’s tribute to Isadora Duncan very well. I also remember these two obnoxious women sitting right behind me with a young daughter of one of them who were constantly and rather loudly making disapproving comments about Seymour. They were so obnoxious that at one point I took my chair and went and sat somewhere else (somehow we were sitting on independent chairs, they were not row seats fixed to the ground. Don’t ask me why!)
Такая величайшая балерина была партнёршей Потрясающая судьба была у Нуреев Как многого добился А рос в такой бедной семье С опозданием попал в Вагановское училище И превратился в изысканного танцовщика, человека искусства
If you have not seen the Tony Palmer film of Margot Fonteyn here is a link ruclips.net/video/KSX8WhCELZs/видео.html. There is footage of Fonteyn and Nureyev in Swan Lake and Marguérite and Armand, plus very good interviews with people close to them. EDIT : This short extract posted by NormezMoi is from this documentary ruclips.net/video/95N4J7B2XWI/видео.html
It's a marvelous documentary.
♥️
Min 3.29 Margot e stata la migliore,.. ed E STATA MESSA accanto a Nureyev perche lui dovea maturare in una certa maniera... come un, albero che deve nutrire il frutto. Comunque lei andava verso il tramonto della sua cariera.. una cosa normale, considerando l,eta( per il ballo). Dice che doveva decidere tra il tramonto e il "rendersi ridicola" accanto ad un ragazzo di venti anni . Ogni essere umano (di buon senso) scieglierebbe di non diventare ridicolo, soppratutto quando ha avuto una cariera molto sodisfacente. Margot ha accetato di ballare con Nureyev, perche era la migliore... e Nureyev, in giovane eta, DOVEVA IMPARARE DAI MIGLIORI(vedi anche la vicinanza con Erik Brun). Il vecchio che trasmette al Nuovo !
Nureyev e stato riconosciuto, da chi DI DOVERE, come expressione DIVINA,... e CHI DI DOVERE, gli ha aperto la via , in tutte le maniere !
Soltanto un, orbo non vede l, incontro DELL,DIVINO con chi, sulla TERRA agisce a NOME SUO !
💖💖💖💖💖💖
Such long arms ...legs
Use of arms, hands poetic
Forgot to mention Margot Fontaine was at the time married to a man from Panama.
first you see classical dancers it's a fact very times on social-networks
only her
Так хотелось бы услышать перевод
no comparison possible with Nathalia Bessermertnova Bolchoi and Noella Pontois Paris Opera : youtubers don't known classical ballet only video no more !
She hadn't to be faithful to her husband because he was an asshole + a womanizer. She decided to divorce him before he was shot. And it is now well known that she and Nureyev had an affair (Nureyev told it to many friends including Charles Jude). Nureyev was in love of dance and she was dance. She had also experienced affairs with another gay men previously of her marriage.
Good for her, because her husband didn't deserved her. I hope she had the best time of her life with Nureyev (on stage + off stage). I can imagine that they were very close, altough he was gay.
Traducción en Español
Thick legs -- strong hips. No bending at the knees to lift. Still . . . a bit Russian. Nice.
Two vastly overrated dancers.
Serriously? If you had only seen them live -- I did a number of times in Romeo & Juliet and Giselle. I wept it was so beyond amazing.
@@matsao1313 their chemistry of dancing together is so so plainly true emotion! What else can i say???!!!
Miss them both!!!!!!!
Overrated ?? I wonder what your idea of a dancer is ?? If you have Never studied what they gave to the dance world please keep your mouth shut !!
@@dianethompson8564 absolutely u r right on that!!! I really miss fonteyn such beautiful dancer and good human being, i cried when i read she died penniless and lonely bcz of her TIto!!! She took care of him in loneliness i think such good emotions reflect ed on her Dance !! To this day whenever i watch Giselle wt nureyev i sob.
@@hisukserjeant5204 I CRY too when I see them dance alone or together.
