- Maurice Béjart's "Bolero" in the performance of a brilliant Jewish dancer Maya Plisetskaya. (1975)

Oh cripes the politics of semantics is so irrelevant here. (see below string of comments) Arman's use of the word Jewish is fine with me. The objections to his usage seem specious and rather silly. If you want to challenge the word Jewish vav Maya you would need to ask her how she relates to it. Since you can't do that it's best to be quiet and enjoy the art Arman went to the trouble to share with us. Thanks Arman for this video.
Precisely right. You can't do that so it's best be quiet. There is no reason whatsoever to mention it in the first place, and so he shouldn't have. That was the whole point of everyone criticizing Arman. (Who, as an aside, went to exactly no trouble whatsoever in creating or uploading this video, so get your head out of his arse, mate.)

I'm from Finland, Helsinki. We had the unbelievable priviledge of enjoying frequent visits of the greatest Bolshoi Ballet stars in the 1960s and 1970s, among them Maya Plisetskaya. I was then a teenager, dancing myself, and I admired her SOOOO MUCH, she was a goddess in every sense. Once with a friend of mine (who also studied ballet) we waited for her at the entrance of the Helsinki Opera and Ballet House (very modest at that time) to ask for an autograph. And she not only gave us that but also walked with us all the way to her hotel in the city center, very polite and friendly, talking with us in Russian, which we had studied in school for some months. Me and my friend still remember that moment as one of the highlights of our lives. Later we saw also several of her performances on screen. She was absolutely the most intelligent and expressive of modern dancers. AND her husband created great music. I was shocked when I heard that Plisetskaya died - I had thought that she would be immortal... Not like the swan...
Mirja Halonen what a wonderful, beautiful memory.
Kitos dear tallinn olga
I'm sure she loved Finland, Helsinki and chatting with you and your friend. Your country is so beautiful! Plisetskaya could as well be immortal, for she danced almost right up until she died. She died on my 27th birthday. I was heartbroken.
Beautiful anecdote, Ms. Mirja. Thank you for sharing it with us.
@@OlgaRykov Hello Olga. My name is Vladimir. I have New information about Maya Plisetskaya. My email is vladshin@yahoo.com
I am also like ballet.
One of the most beautiful dance pieces I have ever seen. the beauty of her movement, her hands, moves my heart.
What a treat it must have been to watch her perform in person. I feel lucky to just have found this video.
Absolutely transcendent. This leads us beyond the boundaries of everyday consciousness. Mesmerizing.
Даже представить страшно, какой это адский труд. Низкий поклон и вечная память Вам, госпожа Майя Плисецкая!
.
Да, именно "госпожа". Какое точное слово. Спасибо!
у одаренных это более менее естественно
Да, как мама балерины потвержу
Estuvo en Buenos Aires cuando yo era adolescente y la vi bailar esto en vivo, la fuerza de su cuerpo, su elasticidad, su estética perfecta.... gracias!!!
J’ai eu l’immense bonheur de la voir danser au Bolchoï dans les années 60/70 dans Le Lac des Cygnes... quelle grâce qui se dégageait de ce corps, pour moi, c’est la plus grande Ballerine de tous les temps, elle a un magnétisme extraordinaire ! Merveilleuse danseuse et là je la retrouve dans un autre style de chorégraphie du grand Bejart... Époustouflante... merci de la revoir dans cette vidéo, j’en ai les larmes aux yeux a près de 80 ans !...
🥰
Видела "Болеро" в исполнении разных артисток балета, но только у Майи Плисецкой заметила одну особенность. К концу композиции, когда, казалось бы, у балерины уже не остается сил (у многих это заметно), Плисецкая наоборот, словно впитывает в себя всю энергетику музыки, атмосферы, танца, и происходит "взрыв" необычной эмоциональной отдачи, кульминация, от которой перехватывает дыхание. Никому еще подобное не удавалось повторить, это уникально.
💯💯💯💯💯процентов
Oh wowww this is amazingly brilliant powerfully Uniqueness
Там не надо тратить никаких сил. Уставать там негде. Просто Плисецкая тот ещё шаман. Безумная энергетика, а у других этой энергетики нет
@@user-vp7wh1qe1q Предлагаю вам провести эксперимент, поставьте таймер на 20 минут и делайте движения голеностопами, похожие на те, что делает балерина, про остальные движения я и не говорю даже, предполагаю, вас и на пару минут не хватит.
Some people Never die. Maya is one of them.
Thank you for sharing. I had the privilege of seeing Jorge Donn perform Ravel's Boléro in Lausanne, an extraordinary memory, but Maya Plisetskaya's performance is just too magnificent to find words for. The music, Maurice Béjart's incredible choreography, and the exquisite dancing, represents for me some of the best artistry humanity has created in modern times. It reminds us never to lose hope in humanity.
I could barely breathe.I have never,never ever seen anything as magnificent,touching,spellbinding,as this performance of Ravel,s Bolero,with Maya Pilestskya.What a privilege for me,and I thank all ,Monsieur Bejart, and Company.I will never forget this experience.Thank You,thank you.....Thelma Linden
Yes. It is truly a performance to treasure, containing so much of the majesty of human potential. I am always surprised by how quickly it brings me to tears of ecstasy.
❤Si, claro❤🙏🏼💃💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐
I can not watch her without crying at the end. Her artistry and strength gets me every time. A true Russian Legend!
Божественно... Часто пересматриваю, наслаждаюсь. Спасибо Богу, родителям, учителям и самой Майе Михайловне за талант!!! Она с нами, со мной навсегда. Богиня, великая Женщина!
I have watched this dozens of times. I can't even put into words what it stirs in me. I'm not a dancer, I'm not a musician. Found this by the miracle of YT algorithm. I feel like a part of my soul is encapsulated in this video.
Это гениально! Майя непревзойденная и потрясающая! Как жаль, что ее больше нет! Я скорблю не только о великолепной балерине, но и об очень хорошем и порядочном человеке 😢 Да будет память о ней благословенна! 🕯
Плесецкая-Легенда нашей страны! говорить о мастерстве, харизме, грации, любви к ней не приходится..... какое биополе всегда вокруг нее! она человек, который своим появлением давал почувствовать окружающим всю мощь её красоты и обаяния, любви и радости жизни! совсем не было нужды что-то говорить, все это чувствовалось, когда она появлялась......от неё исходила такая мощная энергия и такая сила притяжения, что окружающие теряли дар речи! Майя Плесецкая-чудо эпохи и человек на все времена! Люблю её навсегда!
Никакая она не легенда страны, уж точно не она. Уланова, Павлова, Лопаткина сформировали балетное искусство
У вас просто плохой вкус....
@@uriahheep5041 Павлова точно легенда русского балета - ну зачем вы так? Мая тоже талантливая - ее вклад в балет не меньше ,чем у других великих балерин -каждому времени свои кумиры -не забывайте это!
@@uriahheep5041 с чего так много яду? Плисецкая - великолепна и харизматична. Отрицать ее талант безсмысленно.
Уж точно не нашей. Посмотрите гражданкой каких стран она была....
Like watching a beautiful flower bloom before your eyes. From a cool, reserved beginning to a state of absolute joy and passion. Magnificent, the entire experience...choreo, the company, music, and of course the incomparable Maya.
This is one of the greatest Russian ballet dancers ❤️ Maya Plisetskaya is a legend!
she was Soviet Jew
@@igortchernowitzer927 и?
@@igortchernowitzer927 ...She was Russian right down to the very end of her toes, whatever Russia wanted to call itself in those days. And, yes, she was a Jew and her family paid the price of being so in the time of the country's anti-semitism, whatever the regime vocated at the time. You need to be more informed:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maya_Plisetskaya
She was recruited by KGB like many other artists, actors, sportsmen and writers. Secretive cooperation with KGB was a precondition for tours abroad. If she hadn't agreed to work for KGB, she wouldn't have permissions to visit countries of free world.. it doesn't downplay her great skills and talent, but she was a proponent of communist system. It was shame for Jews as this religious group suffered ostrachism and antisemitism in ussr.
@@igortchernowitzer927 ... If this is true (and please tell me your sources), her wishing to perform abroad doesn't necessarily mean she was a 'proponent' of the Soviet regime; what choice did she have? And acting, presumably, as a spy for the KGB simply emphasises the fear and terror that all performers of the arts underwent. She had to conform to the dictates of the time. She was deeply Russian first of all.
Майя Плисецкая краса и гордость всего мирового балета . Низкий поклон ей за её талант и светлая память .
чушь не несите. Бежар был крайне недоволен её исполнением, и это справедливо. И балерина она средняя, просто в союзе других не видели, а эту всюду совали, она в свою очередь давила всех талантливых артистов. Очень тяжелая балерина.
From totally controlled movements to wild abandon Maya gives us in dance what Ravel's music gives us in sound. The more I watch her the more captivated I become by her performance. I would have flown to Moscow to watch her dance this. I am so glad that we have the above clip.
"Prima ballerina assoluta is a title awarded to the most notable of female ballet dancers. To be recognised as a prima ballerina assoluta is a rare honour, traditionally reserved only for the most exceptional dancers of their generation."
RIP Prima ballerina assoluta, Maya Plisetskaya
Какой неимоверный труд стоит за этим великолепным танцем!!!
What sensuality, what grace, what artistry ! The incomparable MAYA !
I saw this on tv as a kid and was captivated. Thank you so very much for sharing. I love it still
This is perfection! Awesome! She was 50 years old - and stayed beautiful until she died. Even with 89 she was the prima ballerina assoluta
Ей 50 лет !! Какая сила духа и воли !! Сколько страсти в этом танце !!
Такие как она рождаются раз в тысячи лет . Нет. Раз в жизни. Таких как Майя плисецкая больше не будет . Непревзойденная и лучшая в мире школа балета . Советская школа балета.
In my quiet moments I listen, smile , cry and remember how lovely this music and performance is truly one of my all time favourites.....Maya Plisetskaya Prima Ballerina Absoluta a legend
Maya was RUSSIAN ballerina representing incomparable Russian ballet school, inspiring future dancers. May her soul dance in heaven!
.Maya was Jewish USSR dancer. My mother (also born in USSR)was named after her because of this.
Of course, when "free democratic european/american people" are talking about something good that comes from Russia they are not permitted to do so they have to say jewish etc., because Russia can only produce evil comissars and gulag.
@@1815dmitriy true) Russia is never good..
and a great modern dance here; love all the eastern references
@@AlinaWorldJournal Русский не существительное, русский это прилагательное, то бишь не "кто", а "какой". Я немец, но я русский.
Великолепная Майя. Она отшлифовала тысячу движений в совершенство за неделю. Здесь ей 50 лет. Браво!
спасибо что написали возраст ,на вид ей все 35 какая фигура стройная!
Шикарная.
@@user-cy7ch4ur9j Так Майя родилась в 1925 году. В 1975 ей было пятьдесят, получается.
@@user-cy7ch4ur9j Плисецкая танцевала до 85 лет. Даже в свое 90-летие она собиралась выйти на сцену и танцевать. А что здесь такого? Я ее видела в Кармен-Сюите, ей было 53 года. Она танцует как молодая девочка. Только страсти, темперамента, харизмы, экспрессии в ней в 100 раз больше, чем в молодых. Потому и ломились на ее выступления во всем мире. Она покоряла сумасшедшей страстностью на сцене.

Thanks!
Bolero Ravel Plissetskaja c est majique, erotique pur, merveilleuse
Какое счастье, что есть возможность видеть подобное и наслаждаться искусством. Благодарю. Браво!
Смотрел на одном дыхании. Это что-то невероятное! Очаровательная женщина и Величайшая балерина!
she possesses the face expression which makes her dance shines like no other. It is by far my favorite.... BRAVISSIMO
Yes I think the facial expressions on the best part. Unfortunately it was decided that she should wear black leotards, so I can't even see half her body. Shame.
Великая и неповторимая!!! Вечная светлая память человеку и таланту!!!
GOD!!!! She is unbelievable! Can't help tearing....
Magnifique Maya , inégalable !
Cannot get enough of this; truly, a masterpiece...have to believe that Ravel would've been over the moon from this interpretation/exhibition...thank you for posting.
Brava Brava !!! Had the exquisite pleasure of performing to this score in a fundraiser for the Pittsburgh Ballet, in 1976, at the direction of the gifted Ms. Patricia Bremen. My part in the event, wearing head to toe Yves St. Laurent, was choreographed with another model to this elegant masterpiece. Always wondered what inspired Ms. Bremen to choreograph our regal, elegant entry onto the stage? ~ now I know. Thank you, again, for posting this magnificent Maurice Bejart score as danced by the elegant Prima Ballerina Maya Plisetskaya. Wow !!!
My goodness-16 minutes of continuous dancing, going up and up and up. Her stamina was incredible. Her adrenaline must have been through the roof after these performances.
Beautiful music and dance!
This version of the Bolero (there’s another one w/a male principle dancer surrounded by female dancers) is incredibly sensual, almost in a primitive way. Maya’s performance is flawless. She danced professionally til 52, a freak of nature, one of the greatest prima ballerinas there ever was.
Hello, do you know the name of that version?
@@utilisateur_trouvablejxsozovek Maurice Bejart choreographed the male soloist w/female corps de ballet. Check the clip info for this one, might be in description.
The last time I watched this mesmerizing performance on repeat, I was around mid-teens. Now I am in my early 20s I cannot help but shed tears of joy, knowing that my old soul entity lingers in purity and grandiosity. It's good to be back. Thank you, Maya and Ravel.
The sound of the audiences hearts clapping during the performance is amazing. 🙏 😎 🙏 🎈 what a victorious desplay of beauty.
WOW this tests my patience, but her energy is too attractive to look away!
Recuerdos de cuando el mundo atesoraba la BELLEZA del ARTE.
Maya Plisetskaya y RAVEL y BEJAR. En mi Argentina pude llenarme de esta EXIMIA BAILARINA viéndola en parte del LAGO de los CISNES, y fue BRILLANTE!!!
Muchas Gracias x compartir ARTE.
Incredible . . . Bolero is one of my favorite pieces of music of all time, here being choreographed and danced by one of the greatest ballerinas of all time, performed when she was 50. Any attempt at a description would be an understatement.
Потрясающе. Гипноз настоящий!)
Уже одна музыка завораживает, не отпускает и держит, а ещё и эти волшебные руки! Как танец кобры под дудочку!)))
И поклоны - продолжение этого волшебства !!!
😁😂😁😂😁😉танец кобры
Absolutely brillant. Wonderful!
I'm still mesmerized by this every time I watch this. I literally stop whatever I'm doing. Wish I could watch this for the first time again.
This woman, like Picasso, creates magnificent art no matter what she does.
Скорпион в действии в чистом виде
Credo che nessun danzatore al mondo riuscirà mai più a toccare il virtuosismo, la sensualità e la bellezza di questa esecuzione del Bolero di Ravel, con la celebre coreografia di Maurice Bèjart. Maya Plisetskaya riesce a trasmettere emozione, passionalità, armonia in ogni gesto, sguardo, sequenza di passi... Grande Maya, ogni volta che guardiamo questo video ci inchiniamo alla tua insuperabile interpretazione e siamo grati per questo film che resta a memoria della tua splendida carriera!
sono d'accordo con te Maria Francesca.Ogni tanto ho bisogno di vederlo anche se mi scombussola un po'...mi emoziana tantissimo!

Daniela Bellocchio Cara Daniela anche per me rivedere questo video di tanto in tanto trasmette gioia di vivere! La musica è mitica e l'interpretazione di Maya Plisetskaya a dir poco sublime... 💙💙💙
This is the best thing I've ever watched...
??? 😂Then you have watched NOTHING!!!!!
@@nataliaschaar9049 Was that comment necessary or meant to be hurtful?
Нет слов, чтобы описать всю красоту и умение владеть своим телом!
Unforgettable Maya! Was fortunate to watch Chaka in Bolshevik Theater!
Astonishing , stupendously beautiful and sensuous performance ! Thank you for posting this - an absolute revelation !
I had watched her dance in her sixties, in Swan Lake...an unforgettable experience!!,
Maya was born with dance in her soul. She embodied the essence of every role she danced. I saw her dance The Dying Swan in Los Angeles. It was absolutely breathtaking and moving. We all come from different backgrounds but at the core are all human beings. It is simply a fact that Maya was Jewish, and was a Russian-Jewish dancer trained in the great Russian Ballet School. Stating a fact is not a problem. In the US it is common to describe people as African-American, Japanese-American, Irish American, etc. People who come from a multitude of cultures are artists in interpreting music and dance from around the world. That is the universality of art, a human expression transcending national boundaries.
Congratulations for your wonderfull comment. I agreed with you. Froom Buenos Aires, Argentina.
I couldn't care less about her parentage, religion or anything other than her incredible achievements in dance. Her name obviously denotes her Russian background and her training was superb, of course. But it is Plisetskaya's complete "PRESENCE" in every role that mesmerised her audiences and lifted us into the magical realm of sheer beauty where great poetry abides. Performances like Bolero remind us that we are capable of more than the tawdry baseness that mars human societies in the hands of egomaniacal politicians, irresponsible industrialists, ruthless corporate "tycoons" and everyday thugs who clamour for the power that only nature herself possesses. Artists like Béjart and Plisetskaya fulfill a need the power-mad will never understand.
her family changed the last name to survive
What a great performance! I saw it live almost 40 years ago in carre du Louvre. It was extra ordinary!
oh i wish i were there! still remember my heart beating crazy when I got pointe shoes with her signature on them. I keep on watching her performing any variations and catching trance vibe. Such a genius grace and expression.
I'm so happy and proud that Maurice Bejart had chosen my country, Belgium, to create and to shine.
La Belgique t'aime, Bejart!
Le movenze evocanti e fluenti fanno da raccordo ad immagini dolcemente naturaliste s'immaginano gli alberi nel loro ondeggiare al vento ed il mantenimento omeostatico del ritmo è mirabile
Da applausi.Bighin Giulio.
Maya forever.
Divine Maya, I miss you so much...
as the tears fall down from my eyes,
the only thing that relieves the pain
is to know that you're dancing for the angels,
and they will chant the glory of God,
because your dance.
A gift from Him.
+Sergio Bonfiglio Oh God, it`s so beautiful
Yeah, Maya is so beautiful.
!!!!
!!!!!!!
She was the best ever, assolutta! she was a genious, and she will live forever =)
Сердце вот-вот выскочит от восторга,слушаю на одном дыхании.У меня нет слов,одни слезы и мурашки.Гениальныйкомпозитор,гениальный хореограф,гениальная М.Плисецкая.👍👍👍👍
Как могут разговаривать руки!Это волшебство танца невозможно передать словами,каждое движение тела неповторимо!Она в "Балеро"- волшебна!
The divine Maya! So beyond words!
Совершенство тела и духа, непревзойдённая Майя, вечная память
Потрясающая, необыкновенная Майя Плесецкая! Браво!
So magnificent! The beautiful and incomparable Maya Plisestkaya. My favorite Bolero of all time. Thank you for sharing this gem.
She was a JEWISH ballerina - this is very important. Racist commentors are trying to dilute this fact, out of ignorance
+
She is the GREATEST Prima Ballerina for all time…Jewish or not. If Jewish that only proves how her soooo demonised race has produced the longest list of great achievers in all fields.
In 2008 I attended the premiere of Anna Karenina in Warsaw. During the intermission of the performance, the Polish Minister of Culture summoned Maja Plisiecka (83!), who was in the audience, to the stage. He presented her with the highest Polish award for artists: Gloria Artis. And she danced! You can imagine: the surprised audience went crazy!
What a wonderful PERFORMANCE!!
Miracolosa musica, meravigliosa ballerina! E pensare che aveva ormai 50 anni, nel momento della splendida esibizione di sopra.
Unexpected and beautiful!!!! Best ever dance interpretation of Bolero I have ever seen.
Как же счастливы те, кто видел это исполнение Великой балерины Майи Плисецкой воочию!
Светлая и вечная память ВЕЛИКОЙ МАЙЕ ПЛИСЕЦКОЙ!
stop talking about "religion"., It is an ETHNICITY/heritage, ancestry. The jws can see in their DNA that they are JEWISH. Being Jewish is NOT only 'religion', in the USSR (Soviet) it was an ethnicity, , it was written in soviet pass - point nr.5 - Nationality/ethnicity . This is b/c Soviet was an ATHEIST state, judaism was banned.
Thank you! That’s very accurate.
It's a solo masterpiece of arms and hands. Perfect moving, perfect music, perfect rhythmmmmmm... 😊
У меня не то что слов, букв нет, что бы выразить восхищение......
И без шпагата!!
WOW!!! Before Aerobics - there was Maya and ballet! She is amazing!!!
Always wonderful to see any Plisetskaya!
Сколько энергии и энтузиазма в танце! Она была точно божеством.
странное заявление. Для фанатиков божество из человека дело обычное. Разве не достаточно признания мастерства?
Her total commitment to every character or part she dance is what I'll remember!
.....leyenda, icono, sublime....tantos y sin embargo tan pocos los calificativos validos para definir su arte, su personalidad, su aporte al mundo durante las ultimas seis decadas. Ha muerto una grande, una grande de verdad...sin duda alguna una de las bailarinas mas maravillosas en la historia de la danza clasica. Dichosos aquellos que pudimos verla en la decada del '70 en nuestro amado Teatro Colon....Lago de los cisnes, Carmen, Bolero, Rose Malade, Muerte del Cisne. Los grandes no mueren, solo trascienden, pasan a otro nivel, y siguen llenando nuestras vidas desde alli. Gracias por tu arte y tu magia, Maya, simplemente gracias!
luis saravia ❤
Qué buenas palabras, compatriota. Excelsa Maya...
Великолепная балерина! Очень яркая индивидуальность. Язык, на котором говорят её руки уникален и неповторим! Недаром её называли ,,любимой дочерью Терпсихоры".
Каждое движение отточенно, синхронизированно во всем теле, движения образны и наполнены смыслом. Заряд энергию дают эмоции, внешне сдержанные, а в глубине души они как разряд молний, котрые к концу вырываются наружу. Благодарю Вас Майя Михайловна за этот брельянт❤
This is just an unbelievably beatiful performance, thank you!
I think the most beautiful performance ever
Majestueux, fantastic ! Almost from another planet , sooo special !
This is magical and perfect
Yes....she was.......PERFECT
♡♡♥♥♡♡♥♥
She was and she is a big star...
Maya Plisetskaya, recently deceased, was a brilliant Russian dancer. Bejart was from Belgium, I believe. Ravel was French. The Bolero is a Spanish dance.

Flamenco wqas an adopted style adopted from the Flamandes (Belgis) when the Spanisk king had the Flamades as his Royal court. As far as I known.
