navarre brixen yes he is already very bad he lived on his fame so long personally l liked him at his kirov time and shortly later but after .......

navarre brixen imo the first things going worst ,and clearly were the bad mannerisms he got immediatly after his defection ,l see it clearly already in the swan lake 1966 vienna with fonteyn,he already had developed stiff awful arms and hands ,weird stiff arabesque and heavy landing probabily due the lost of his great coaches in kirov ,later clearly went worst and worst untill became litteraly unwatchable around the period of this video,but people did't see it ,he was rudy lol

navarre brixen yes you must be right about the date ,but as already told ,from the few material at disposal in his kirov time nureyev was a very special dancer ,later really went worst and worst west did him rich and famous but surely not a better dancer ,many doesn't agree ,but imo is so clear

navarre brixen on the chann john hall there are a couple of clips about nureyev in his kirov time including short sections of ballets he performed shoted by a friend from audience including laurencia and bayaderka he was absolutely fabolous imo a complataly different dancer from what we saw in west later

navarre brixen rudy was magnificent in bayad he crossed the stage in few jumps and in laurencia litteraly rides the music ,another man really imo

Hmmm….. Bitter Betty about Ms. Kain? She not hire you or something? 😜

@@IceAintNice and the dumbest awarded goes to you icy🧠! lol if you can’t see the technique and quality of movement then don’t waste my time!

+Ann Cain he was the best that ARRIVED from russia at that time but both soloviev and vasiliev were far better .

More importantly, he is a legend and has and continues to inspire dance and dancers. Who, Ann Cain, are you?

James Harkness one that lovespointed feet probabily.

lol! well we all love a beautifully pointed foot! :) but tell that to someone who is alive to execute it. not to someone who has left behind a legacy that you (Ann Cain) will never attain.

James Harkness l have a love /hate relationship with nureyev because l am the first to say that his contibution in ballet and maledancing is priceless ,but already since half 70's his dancing was sloppy and very questionable untill becoming very bad and at the end really unwatchable l am old enought to have seen all that with my eyes .once tamara karsavina told leave the stage before the stage leaves you .rudy unfortunatly ignored this advice .enrico italy

Que desagradable e irrespetuoso tu comentario, se nota q no sabes TODO lo q fue Rudolf Nureyev, no solo como bailarin sino como ser humano.

Why?? What's wrong?? They were intriguing. The only thing I noticed was his thinning hairline. How old is he here??? 35?? Ok. Maybe he slowed down just a bit on his spins ..but not bad for 35... Was she too tall for him?? She was Marvelous

@@kaythomas8521 unfortunatly l am old enought to have witnessed the decline of nureyev dancing since half 70's with my eyes ,so.....

@@pediatrapaola ya know. The debate goes on and on and on about.nureyev. Have to admit. He is the most fascinating story in and amongst himself in the history of Ballet. He was a Mongol. Let's face it. How many other Mongol ballet dancers were there??? Misha was probably a bit better than him. But Rudi had a sharp keen mind. Highly intelligent... He had an Attitude that noone else seemed to compete with.

@@kaythomas8521 imho on this video is far over 35 his dancing at 35 (l saw him at that age ) was better -later degradated really a lot l remember the 1979 nureyev festival that l saw whole in london (l was 24 then ) he was 41 and was really weak ,apart the age he really danced too much his body was clearly destroyed ,was really sad watchning the ghost of the great dancer he was before expecially in his kirov time ,misha was far better l saw him at his top many times in 75 77 and 79 but imho the best of that time and probabily the best ever (with yuri soloviev ) was vladimir vasiliev l was blessed having seen him many times live in all his great roles he was uncomparable ..enrico italy

@@kaythomas8521 he was not russian jews l never heard it or read it in some biography he was pure tatar origin full tatar as his mom and his father
