This music was composed 300 years ago and stil is Hit. So Beautiful ! I love it. ❤

Life is short! Art is eternal! 2021 this music is still a hit 300 years after it was composed!

Oh God, that G minor flute melody is killing me... 😭😭😭💔💔💔 too beautiful for this world. Feels like my heart is cut in two.

Как красиво, чёрт возьми!... И музыка и танец...

Old dresses and costumes.... And it's music... Great.

This is the most elegant dancing I've ever seen. It's a shame it's not done more often in the modern world.

Majestic, proud, graceful, elegant, educated, slim, musical, and above all, beautiful.

This, I believe, is the best example of a Minuet and Gigue I've seen danced in an authentic setting. I've seen instructional videos on the specific dance figures, but never anything so beautifully and faithfully executed. The costumes are wonderful...heck, even the orchestra is in costume, playing period instruments and using period technique. Rapture!

I feel like I've been transported back into the 18th century...love it!

Beautiful, just beautiful

It's all beautiful: the dresses, the music and the dance.

Such beautiful costumes. I kind of wish this fashion would come back into style.

😍😍 so elegant, the lady looks like she is floating

Восхитительно! Сказочно прелестно🧚‍♂️

Beautiful! There are still plenty of us around who do this kind of dancing.

Brings back the good old days 40s; 50s and 60s!! Thanks for posting!!

Simplemente, hermoso, maravilloso y sublime. Gracias por compartir tanta belleza musical!!!

Que de grâce, de charme, de prestige et d'allégresse ! De plus Haendel étant un génie ! Quand on voit les danse de sauvage qu'on a maintenant! Quelle triste décadence !

I love this elegance and beauty.

Wonderful i found this dance while reading Victor Hugos' The man who laughs great novel.

Esto es arte puro, musica exquisita, baile delicado y elegante, que vergüenza las porquerías que hoy en día están de moda, el asqueroso reggaeton y la porquería del perreo, hoy estamos artisticamemente en un penoso retroceso, el arte barroco en general es maravillosamente grandioso.

Aside from seing this a few steps of this type of dance in the movies, this is the first time I've seen baroque dance in costume. It's almost ballet. Quite beautiful, like everything else in the baroque. Händel sure could write a song or two! Working on these pieces right now. Easy, wonderful. Thanks so much for sharing this video.

Those where the days my friend...those where the days !!

The music have not prefferences of classes, is beautyfull!!!

Really beautiful! I wanted to dance with them! ♥

I love this music

Hermoso, cuanta elegancia, que deleite todo, me encanta : )

Stupenda la Musica di Handel; stupendi i balli del 700...🎼🎶💖

That's wonderful! So graceful. An insight into my favorite period of music, art, architecture, and customs. Thank you so much for posting!

¡Tanta belleza!¡Tanta elegancia!

Que hermoso... gracias por esta oportunidad de revivir tiempos nunca antes vividos

Splendida musica e meravigliosi interpreti. Uomini e donne bellissimi, che ricordano un tempo in cui ogni azione era onore ed amore per la vita. Onorare se stessi e prendersene cura sono un onore ed un "dovere". I primi ospiti di noi stessi siamo noi stessi. Lo sapevano, lo professavano. Onore a loro. Spero di poter imparare da loro. Quanto all'élite... Sì, c'era... Ma.. Quanti di loro offrivano tanto di ciò che avevano, per gli altri? Le testimonianze esistono. Ben nascoste, ma ci sono!

Such beautiful costumes. I kind of wish this fashion would come back into style.

wonderfull, today I can judge that. But in my new school in Hamburg, in a girls gymnasium, we had to dance the menuett, and very unfortunately I as a 11 year old girl had to dance the male part, I was tall. But very unhappy. 1966.

Handel was a far ahead of his time, and when you see this ,it confirms that..Greetings from Ireland

The quality of the video is still superb after 300 years. 😆😆

Os bons costumes dever sempre ser mantidos afinal de contas coisas boas e bonitas são para pessoas de bom gosto e sofisticação. 💐☺🥰😊

What a great breath to listen such a wonderful music and to see the calmness movements of the dancers!

la primera pieza me pone la piel de gallina penetra en mi y me elevo hasta el cielo, esta melodía lo escuche en la serie Stradivarius con Anthony Quinn, Diosque grande Haendel, Gracias por este hermoso video Tobit

Den inledande menuetten är sagolikt vacker och ett stycke jag alltid tyckt väldigt mycket om. Kul även att se det dansas till musiken i tidstypisk klädsel. Suveränt.

Wonderful minuet, beautiful dance and video, unrepeatable!!!💖💫

Волшебной, неземной красоты произведение!!! Спасибо!

Endless grace...

Bravi e bellissimi!

Wow....so graceful are these dancers.

Beautiful, Fantastic and Outstanding!!! :-) Thank You :-)

Bravissimi/e ballerini/e, suonatori e ottime le riprese, che permettono di apprezzare questa splendida esecuzione. Quando il balletto barocco assurge a questi livelli, torna ad essere vicino al nostro senso di leggerezza, armonia. I danzatori paiono farfalle, piume, condotte da una mano invisibile che fa loro formare continue figure immaginarie, come un trinato danzante.

Europe will always amaze me with the beauty of its culture! Show me something similar from asia or africa? :) thank you mom and dad for being born European!

Too beautiful!!! ;) Thanks for sharing!

¡Qué maravilla de minueto! Definitivamente un entendimiento coordinado entre la pareja. Un baile que estaba en las altas esferas por su belleza y estilo.

Woa it’s so elegant and it makes me calm🤗

So many baroque masterpieces on this channel I would love to see the entire film from where those clips are extracted.

So so beautiful!!!

Красота!!! beautifully!!!

Oh man - I've been looking for this everywhere... had the whole suite on video as a kid... great post

Cuando veo el arte en su esplendor aún me hace tener fe en la humanidad❤🤩. Ya que oir y ver moverse con la mal llamada música moderna de discotecas y el regueton se me revuelve el estómago.🤮 Viva el verdadero arte.❤

Splendido,musica e interpreti

They played this song 2 weeks ago during the daytime classical music program on 88.5 WFCR which is my local NPR station.

Water music, excelente sinfonía de Georg Friedrich Händel

素晴らしい動画をありがとう

Thank you for posting. Beautiful and elegant.

I like this clip. I think the dancers had done a excellent work ****Moreover,the costumes are beautiful****Congratulations!!!!

This video was ripped from a VHS: The Banqueting House - Whitehall London TRILION PICTURES (1987) present: George Frederick Handel's "THE WATER MUSIC" English Bach Festival Dancers: Sarah Cremer, Ursula Hageli, Alison Pooley, Angela Robinson, Chris Evan, Ray Holland, Rai Harell, Richard Slaughter Choreography: Belinda Quirey Dancers Costumes from original designs Realised By Derek West The English Bach Festival Orchestra Directed By and Solo Violinist: Christopher Hirons.

WOW , that was lovely and I liked when the separated their hands.

I was taken by their performance and lost myself in the music and time....

Listening to and playing Handel's Water Music remains one of the profound experiences of my life.. Thanks for the post... I hope this makes a comeback someday!

Lovely music, dance and costumes. I had to learn the minuet in public school in Ohio. It actually is not difficult and artistic nuances are fine if you wish to add them. Greetings from Paris. Uprated, shared.

Bravissimi tutti ! Every 'period' performance company should see this, the product of the wonderful Belinda Quirey's years of work. It's not done over-night.

Such a stirring music video. Truly an age of Class and Refined Style that now lost on this Generation

Wonderfull - both music and dance! :) :)

Magnifique sens de la beauté, images et musique !

Прекрасно!!!

Very beautiful!

Marvellous. Thank you!

Me gusta mucho este video, pues representa un ejemplo grandioso de como se bailaban estas piezas musicales.Agradezco mucho a quienes lo han hecho realidad. Felicitaciones!!!.:)

Who else is doing their music hmk the night before?

Meravigliosi!

More likely this was what dancing the menuet in the 18th century (1700's) was like. So elegant! I love Handel's music.

South brazilian people, as well as Uruguayans and Argentines also have folkloric dances originating in the minuet
