This is the absolute best performance of this dance I’ve ever seen. Both dancers are incredible. ❤️

Raymonda can be interesting when done right!! THIS IS AMAZING

A joy to watch, how impeccable is Steven McRae, such beauty of line and what a partner for the delicious Tamara

Steven McRae is the greatest male dancer since Baryshnikov. Stunning partnering, incomparable technique and outstanding panache. I have seen Rojo in other performances and she never seems to look very happy or engaged with the audience - though she danced beautifully here.

Bravo Steven McCrae...immaculate, pristine technique always...remarkable product of RAD....and he can tap also!

Absolutely awesome; I loved this. Phenomenal performance!

FANTASTIC!!!!! This pair is absolutely perfect together, both so athletic but exquisitely graceful, really something to behold!!

Spectacular!!! Both are amazing!!! He’s one of the best dancers ever

This is breathtaking. Just amazing!! Bravo👏🏻 I love these two dancers, Tamara and McRae.

The piano part in Raymonda is one of the true gems of classical ballet ever

Wow - I have never seen anyone who can spin like Tamara - when she came out at 10:44 - she was spinning like a top. The coordination between the two dancers in the last act was terrific.

This is SUCH a wonderful performance. I am so impressed. 'Bravo!' to both of you.

Both fabulous!!!

These two are fabulous together & their mutual concern for each other is obvious.....they richly deserve the encores. When they were first partnered, they looked like two rather small but athletic dancers. Well, they've lost the 'baby fat' and they are exciting to watch. One of my favorite couples, exciting to watch!

hes like a ginger baryishnikov one of the royals most gifted dancers

I am always astounded by what these two dancers can do! Incredible! Inimitable!

Tamara has smiles aplenty when she's not on the stage... She just takes her dance seriously.

So beautiful! Very professionally, controlled & skilled, yet graceful, smooth, eloquent. I feel that the dress added to the beauty. It provided another element of beautiful motion. Perhaps those who criticize her dress are purists, who feel that the traditional tutu's way of being fixed in relation to the body, like the dancer's nose, is the only way to do it, but this dress is like an additional limb, which provides motion, like an arm or a leg.I find that an improvement over tradition.

AMAZING the triple tours and fouettes and the ending just beautiful!!! their control and technique was spotless as well :)

This is beautiful...two brilliant Artistes. They outshine many other overhyped performers!!

ella es fenomel en todo lo que baila. todos expresan lo que sienten de diferente manera, hermoso como siempre tamara rojo

Ottima performance caratterizzata da una mirabile maestria della ballerina nei passi sulle punte in veloce eundo e laterali .Ottima imptessione di facilità esecutiva d'acchito sorprendente per entrambi e di levità fatta tensione motile sorprendente nella ballerina.Ottimo l'impadronimento imperativo del proscenio da parte del ballerino a balzi falcati amplissimi ed a rotazioni volanti. Ottimo il senso del continuum dato alla pièce danzante dai protagonisti. Superlativi.Bighin Giulio Renzo 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

This was excellent! Wow! I can only imagine witnessing this in person.

I love the costumes!!! raymonda story can be taken part in a modern world because it's so flexible. but watching with the costumes is like watching a today's princess deciding her countries future. BRAVO!!!!

Boy are they good !! Masters !! A joy to watch

Oh my I think Tamara Rojo is my new hero. Her solo was just flawless.

Yes, world ballet festival tokyo 2012. Wonderful master class in the scene

Um par absolutamente maravilhoso com uma técnica irrepreensível. Bravo!

TAMARA TI ADORO!!!!!!!

I find Steven McRae very much like a feather blown by the wind and landed so lightly on the ground.

best pod ever! perfect match. that coda was everything.

I agree with you. Looks funny to see Jean de Brienne in jacket and tie. Even so they're terrific. too bad there isn't a complete dvd of them doing Raymonda.

Brilliant !!!😊

Фантастика !

¡Superior!. Un final virtuoso.

Steven McRae what a beautiful dancer and partner..

Maravillosa actuación con técnica impecable. El tercer acto de Raymonda es una preciosidad. ¡ No se me olvidará nunca, cuando Rudolf Nureyev hizo está parte del Ballet con El Royal Ballet en Londres que no se conocía en Occidente.

Outstandinggggg!!!! Bravo!!!!

Absolutely stunning. Bravo! Wonderful partnership.

And They have amazing control! And it was very clean

Nunca vi nada igual! Perfeitos!!! Bravissimi!

I've never seen a ballerina attempt a quadruple pirouette in that last diagonal of her variation. She very nearly does it too! Brava!

wow his technique is so clean ...I love it !!!

My ever favorite dancers and my ever favorite Pas de deux. Gosh.

Oh my god you are sooooooo talent!!! Love you so much!😘

Absolutely amazing! Stunning !!

That was just phenomenal.

хочу отметить отличное исполнение музыки оркестром. очень сбалансированное и харАктерное

This is Class.

Bravo, Bravo ..............

She is so elegant

He visto varias veces este baile y me sigue gustando como al principio.

Marie-Agnes, Aurelie and Rojo. I love to run all 3 over and over. As an amateur fan of ballet, not crtical but Raymonda is my favorite. Glazunov's music is wonderful, especially the 3rd act, makes one think of Russia. Steven McRae is terrific and makes me think of Baryshnikov. youdancefunny's channel

her variation was phenomenal! :D

PS --- This is not to say, that this was not good dancing. Tamara is always fantastic. Always great to see her dance; for that she does. She gives it her all. And, no other ballerina "goes for it". She's that courageous. Love her.

i adore her

OMG!!! Amazing!!!

mind blowing! just wow

Raymonda virou minha variação preferida 😍

Goosebumps !

speechless just speechless...

Crazy fun day on Mount Olympus.

Maravilloso!!!!!!

SPECTACULAR! . ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL. MUSICALITY, TECHNIQUE.....THEILLING PERFORMANCE BY STUNNING TAMARA ROJO! WHAT FARUKH RUZIMATOV , THOUGH NOW RWTIRED, OR CHUPIN COULD DO WITH THIS ROLE WOULD BE BEYOND SUPERLATIVE. DID, HOWEVER, LOVE MCRAE.

Lovely video. McRae's qualities as a partner are seldom commented on, but he's very good - secure and so forth, but he also keeps his ballerinas mood relaxed. I cherish the moments between scenes when I see the ladies laugh at some remark he's made.

Just for the fact that Nureyev gave the West this exquisite version of the 3rd Act of Raymonda, he should be lifted up to heaven. Brilliant work Tamara. Steven doesn't understand anything about the character but dances perfectly well.

Maravillosos!!!!!!!!!

BRAVO such and amazing arch and technique both

Writing from the recovery room, just a little screaming and crying and going insane. Rock-star things they do that have never been done.

I absolutely loooooove her :D

Astounding!

What hauteur!

Fantastic.

Did you notice at the end of the coda on the supported pirouette, she keeps turning after he takes his hands away? Brava Tamara!

スティーブンの音取りが完璧すぎる！

Muy bueno ambos bailarines excelente tecnica

Amazing.

Meravigliosi

Как мало мы видим такой красоты. В театре это воспринимается иначе!

ブラボー👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏💖💖💖💖💖💖

Y love you , Tamara Rojo

whoa they are both so strong

Lindo!

gorgeous

Very far from Nathalia Bessmertnova ( Bolchoi-1989 ) and Noella Pontois Paris-Opera ( 1983 ) videos Y T !

Yes, it was very cleanly done!

thanks for such an amazing video! was this from the world ballet festival?

Omg! Truly spectacular..

Here chainees were superbly executed

つま先がしっかり伸びてて凄く綺麗

were those triple tours in the finale?!

Oh my, there were moments here where Mr. McRae reminded me so much of Sir Robert Helpmann! Perhaps it is just the hair and makeup? Or is there something of Australia that shines through in both of them? Perhaps Mr. McRae is too young to have met Mr. Helpmann, but it is a wonderful legacy to carry forward.

Triple tours!!!!

Wow! Thanks! Would there be anyway to buy dvds of this festival? And from previous years too?

No doubt Tamara is a true beauty and a GREAT! ballerina. The BEST! However, something did seem a little off. I'm not sure what it was, nevertheless, I can watch her endlessly; she's that good.

Very much in poor taste to make disparaging remarks about such wonderful artists as these.

The music ( in the beginning) really reminds me of Sean lake

Bravissimo!

Bravo🎉

Mais oui super
