I saw Nureyev dance this with Paul Taylor Dancers in Aureole in a Nureyev & Friends Program in NYC at the Uris Theatre in December 1974/January 1975. The program also consisted of Balanchine’s Apollo, Bournonville’s The Flower Festival in Genzano Pas de Deux, and Jose Limon’s The Moor’s Pavane. Mr. Nureyev danced in all four works for 34 performances in five weeks. I am very happy to say that I saw this program quite a number of times and he was in top form.

Очень красивый балет.Нуреев прекрасен и танец его совершенен.Такой завершенности каждого па,такой выразительной скульпурности поз ,такого размаха нет ни у какого другого танцовщика.Ему подвластны все танцевальные стили.

I had the good fortune to manage Rudolf Nureyev's 'Farewell tour' on which Vivi Flindt was a featured artiste. Vivi and I hit it off from day one, she had a wonderful sense of humour, so we laughed our way through every journey on the tour bus. That tour was in 1991 and I'm delighted to say that she and I are still in touch by telephone but mainly via email. Vivi is still stunningly attractive and I'm delighted to call her my special friend.

@Ringokris look at the lift at 7.44...it looks deceptively easy but it's one of the hardest in dance and Nureyev lifts her like she's a feather...also his spine and arms are amazing.

I would love to know why the majestic solo that Taylor choreographed for himself is not on this version. I performed “Aureole” at Lincoln Center in 1983 with the Clive Thompson Dance Company in 1983 and love the piece but, without the solo if feels somewhat deflated, without its center of gravity.

In his autobiography Taylor has some reservations about Aurèole as though he were ceding to popularity. I love it all the same. He is delightfully witty with Handel's music. I'm not a great Handel listener but these ballets make him come to life again.

Thanks for the upload! Interesting to see how excellent ballet dancers can dance this piece horribly because they don't understand the qualities of choreography. Having seen it both live and on video by the original dance co one understands what is really missing. Rudi looks just absurd - doesn't make him less goog dancer, but it just helps one understand that being excellent in one school does not mean being autmatically excellent in another.

@tedsler Aureole is actually a very great work, but it's not one for ballet dancers. They bring none of the weight, use of the back and contraction that this work needs if it's to be done properly, also this work is a signature of the Taylor school and style and needs dancers truly trained in his technique. It IS very popular with ballet companies because they can just misinterpret it as port de bras & skips and hops. This is one work that needs to be seen at source, not as a ballet piece.

Spot on. This is quite far from what it looks like when Taylor's own dancers perform it. The arms are so wrong that it's just painful to watch. And the movements utterly lack what I think what is part of the genius of Taylor's work: dancers who (somewhat paradoxically) appear both heavy and graceful at the same time. There is a groundedness and earthiness to this piece that these ballet dancers miss entirely. The choreography also seems to have changed a bit over the years. I am currently rehearsing the main duet, so i am quite familiar with it.

I know little of ballet, and less of modern dance. So help me out here. What makes a choreographer arrive at decisions like the one at 8:00 or so, where the dancers point there toes upward instead of out in their leaps? It doesn't look nearly as graceful to me, nor do the frog-like leaps. What is Paul Taylor trying to say here? I confess, I have no idea what makes modern art 'good' when it looks like a collection of shapes that a child could paint and I'm afraid I'm at the same point here.

I agree with the others who find this performance lacking in the modern dance style. The Paul Taylor Dance Company really dances this BIG. The ballet dancers here are much too refined. Find the video here of the Chamber Dance Company. It's only a few seconds long, but even in that brief time they create something exhilarating. Dancing barefoot is not enough!

@Dennis Chiapello:: I know what you are trying to get at but can't agree. The Danes did marvelously well at expressing the Paul Taylor style. After all, none of them were trained in the modern dance style. Their bodies, for the most part, are long and refined. And Nureyev is so surprising here! How well he catches something of the way Paul, himself, used to dance. Taylor hasn't performed in a long time, but he managed to transfer his personal style onto Nureyev. Either that or else Nureyev watched tapes of Taylor performing the solo himself. Paul was incredibly strong in a way some of his male dancers have lacked in this role. I'd have to see Nureyev dance Paul's solo to say for sure. Also, the part of the other man, created by Dan Waggoner, who nearly matched Paul in size, I keep seeing Dan's use of his weight. Paul built that role on Dan's big, heavy muscular body. This is particularly telling in the solo where the dancer is asked to hop from side to side. The balletic body is simply not built for that move. But on Dan Waggoner it looked just right.

What I wrote did not fall short of what I was "trying to get at." Your argument seems to hinge on their not having had previous training in the modern dance style; therefore, you grade them on a curve. So we agree they don't quite reach the mark. But doing "marvelously well" would have consisted of showing no trace of their inexperience, not exposing it.

I don't care if the Danes are cllassically refined. They dance beautifully It's simply another version of the dance. I like to see this as well as the more authentic Taylor style.

@balletnut And that's the problem with this interpretation, babycakes. The RDB schooled in the ballon that Balanchine so loved are the wrong company to dance Taylor which makes major use in Aureole of the weighted connection between earth and modern dancer. Aureole is absolutely a piece that's best served by the Taylor company, this most definitely is Taylor lite.
