Rudolf Nureyev's first American solo broadcast. He danced the male solos from Tchaikovsky's Sleeping Beauty and from Katchaturian's Gayne.
He seems nervous and vulnerable, especially in the Katchaturian, where he finishes in a bit of a sad and awkward pose. Because of the blurry image you can't really see his final expression, which is strained, in between a forced smile and a grimace of pain.
The audience loved him. His unmistakable charisma and beauty were instantly recognized.

No indeed, he was Diaghilev and Nijinski in one body : smart and with excellent tastes like the first and as talented and charismatic as the second.

I remember seeing him at the Hollywood Bowl, probably his Bowl debut. The "girls" had been dancing a while, then all of a sudden he came flying from behind the curtain stage right, clear to the center of the stage it seemed. He was already airborne when you first saw his pointed foot. Have you ever heard 18,000 gasp all at once??? It's an amazing sound. Sold out that night. It was soooo thrilling. I've never been able to figure out how he could fly so far so high.

I know what you mean. I attributed the grimace to a painful landing -- an attempt at stoicism, but I also see the mixed emotions. While he hated the authoritarian and limiting regime he escaped, he was also heartbroken at having to leave his family, culture, and mentors like Pushkin. He loved the over-the-top praise he got in the West but accepted it with flared nostrils and undisguised contempt. What a character. Love him.

he's amazing! and, to think, he didn't start until seventeen! seventeen! he graduated and learned this in a few years. he was obviously born to dance. not to mention, the Vaganova School took a huge chance on him, bringing in a young adult without any ballet training to train. they saw something in him. this proves that, even the school, which a lot claim to be 'harsh' and 'cruel' recognized his talent. The school is not as horrible as many think it is, considering this HUGE risk they took.

Love Baryshnikov for his technical precision, but Rudy ... ah, there are no words. He floated. Possibly a correction to your post - are you sure that's 1963 - he didn't defect until 1964? I can credit Rudy with a lifetime of devotion to ballet and teaching.
