- Mikhail Baryshnikov and Liza Minnelli in a medley of songs/dances from the 1980 TV show "Baryshnikov on Broadway - with Liza Minnelli" (directed by Dwight Hemion).
Subtitled in Norwegian. - Zábava
To me he is the PERFECT dancer. His technique in EVERY dance style is perfect. He is the reason I became a dancer. Masculine, strong, passionate, impeccable technique, incredible style & energy. Perfection!!!!
I do love Gene Kelly and Fred Astaire. But Barry and Gregory Hines's dance scene was just wonderful in every way.
4:10-4:40 especially, for me, especially delightful. Liza is just invisible when he's dancing.
Это огромный труд. Барышников всего добился упорным трудом, даже увеличил рост. Он гений
he would never have been what he was without the Russian school
@@Aria2990 The Imperial Russian Ballet School didn’t give him talent. He also studied in New York City with American Ballet Theatre and the New York City Ballet also in NYC. His talent and great training made him the dancer he is. 💯
I could watch Baryshnikov dance any time, such a graceful dancer. He floats.
Baryschnikov's form IS perfection! My GOD his dance is divine. You can see the years of training and hard work to perfect his craft and although I adore Liza, she pales next to him. Not that she needs to be ashamed....... her performance is pure Broadway magic nonetheless. Baryschnikov is so gifted and talented but clearly disciplined and a perfectionist in his craft. Divine to watch!
This was when Baryshnikov was regarded as the world's greatest dancer, and justifiably so. Liza still had it as a performer, before her personal problems derailed her. We shall not see such likes again.
His singing is the most adorable thing on the planet.
Барышников это космос ,грация ,лёгкость ,музыкальность
Baryshnikov - perfect schooling! No one can 'overdance' this divine performer!
The only male dancer who could keep up with Liza and draw your attention away for more than a few moments!
Two superb artists in their prime. Even though Liza could sing rings around Mikhail and he could dance rings around her that's not what happened here. Instead, each used their artistry to compliment the other, and in the process gave us a performance we're not likely to see the equal of anytime soon. Bravo!
Maybe he could dance rings around her, but do remember that dance with the chair she did in Cabaret. That was something.
They just talked the songs..Liza was known for this ..she can’t sing
@@suellenfunk1898 I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you're not a troll. You really need to expand your knowledge of musical theater. Look up her performances in Cabaret then tell me again that she can't sing.
@@suellenfunk1898 puh-lease 🤣
@@suellenfunk1898😂Лиза - обезьяна! Крупным планом лучше не показывать ее морду
Oh wow! What a fabulous number. Few classic trained dancers are so versatile. FABULOUS ❤
Years ago, when "White Nights" was filmed, MB said he had to learn how to dance all over again; he had never done Modern/Jazz/Tap. He did it beautifully! The "pas de deux" he did with Gregory Hines was magnificent. Also coreographed, these 2 gents made their dance look totally spontaneous!
Baryshnikov’s dancing is so flawless & he makes it look so easy! Liza Minnelli sings so much like her mother! 👏🏻
I agree about her voice.
I disagree about her voice.
Just found this, so amazing. I can really appreciate now how talented Liza Minelli was, and they both worked together so well, complimenting each other. Baryshnikov as always impeccable.
She’s still alive so, technically, she’s still talented.
I doubt that she would be able to perform like that now though. I am so sorry that I failed to quantify my comment to your satisfaction.
Los años pasan.....@@missymoppel
WOWWOWWOWWOW!!!! This is just more proof that Baryshnikov is a complete dancer. i loved how Minelli and him are just totally giving it all and having a blast.
I was SO in love with Misha.....he is just simply AMAZINGLY talented....and so cute
My God. He's beautiful.
Aww…two of my most favorite entertainers of all time, back when to be a “celebrity” you actually had to have TALENT! Love this!❤️💛🧡💙💚💜🤎
He defies gravity, like an angel
Mikhail had incredible strength and body contol. Completely amazing the talent.
Fabulous coreography! Love seeing these two together!
What a delight to see Misha dance, such elegance, such perfection.
Baryshnikov does so much WORK, and puts so much into it... and so much energy, charisma... gives so much happiness, it's amazing, I can't describe it. He is one of my idols, and it takes a lot for me to admire and love someone so much.
What an amazing dancer he is. Those kicks; incredible!!!
He makes it look so effortless!
@@roxanne_george He genuinely does. I didn’t realise what a good dancer he actually was until I tried to dance myself and learned how hard it is.
Both fantastic... Mischa, what a dancer! And Liza, what a voice! They both complete each other perfectly!! Love this!
I KNOW there was little Baryshnikov could not do, and while I never saw Minnelli actually do classical ballet, I'm sure she had ballet training, and I KNOW there was little she could not do. What a team!!
She was classically trained in ballet among other forms of dancing.
It was easy to be wowed by Baryshnikov, because he was new and and younger (with amazing technique) but watching this, I'm amazed by Liza, who keeps up with him quite well...
Pure entertainment ! Why we don't have this on TV anymore. So much talent creativity. Im sure it took them a lot of preparation to make it that easy.
Two of the best dancers. Saw Baryshnikov dance the Prince in the Nutcracker on Christmas Day. Saw him again with the White Oaks Dance Project and was able to greet him/get autograph. No one has come near his perfection. And Liza, well, she was magnificent. Even her backup dancers couldnt perform like she did.
More 😊. Need to see more of these great artists in their prime together ❤
Baryshnikov is really singing with the perfect phrasing and rhythm- he must have practiced voice like crazy - well he always did things to the nth degree :) what an incredible and epic dancer he is! 🌹🌱
This is truly the piece d’resistance as a medley of show tunes!
Ray Bolger was one of my favorite singer/dancers when I was a kid. Once in Love with Amy is one of the greatest bits in film.
I am stupefied though - Baryshnikov dances here an absolutely perfect Ray Bolger! He really is a genius and works his head off to do it. I’m totally gobsmacked!
Yes Ray Bolger and then a Donald O’Connor I think 😊
Какой темперамент!!! Супер!!
Two genious , talented artists together.
I loved him!!!
I have remembered that I saw this tv show when I was a child, now I know why I love dancing, painting, singing... everything, It was because I saw Baryshnikov.
My friend, the late Verne Langdon worked on this show. He said that Liza was completely down to earth and friendly to each and every person on the set - knowing that they ALL played a part in the finished product. Not any air or "diva" behavior towards anyone.
thank you much appreciated
Yes, and both of them in their prime!!!!!!!!!
I think being friendly and down to earth is part of the diva behaviour! Being mean and shady to other people without any reason is just bitchy (in a bad way) and not nice! Liza is a great diva!😍😍😍
Liza is a Pisces - of course she would be kind and compassionate and not a diva.
I had forgotten how beautiful they were...He was just incredible, no matter what he did, wasn't he? and, of course, Liza is Liza...I am so glad this is here; thank you to those who made it available!!
wow broadway today needs talents, real talents! They were both fantastic!!!
breathtaking! this is the first time one's eyes are just RIVETED mostly on the male dancer........Baryshnikov is more divine than perfection itself. Minelli is the gold band showing off the perfect diamond, Baryshnikov.......this definitely goes down as one of my favourites. Can someone re upload this in high definition please?
What a delight! Seeing these two artists at their pinnacle has made my year! Thanks so much for posting.
Baryshnikov as alwys was absolutely impeccable on any style he chose to dance in.
Never knew he could sing either.
And holy royal CHRIST Minelli had a set of legs xD Fantastically athletic dancer, but man she had the looks too.
I didn't know I needed a Liza/Baryshnikov duo until now.
Baryshnikov is just THE best to ever put his feet to music, no matter the style. ---------Incredible. ---------------------WolfSky9, 72 y/o
Oh Liza! There's only one of you.... Just like your mother. Magical!
Mikhail - smooth as ever.
I never tire of watching Mikah dance ❤
The moment the cabaret rhythm starts and liza just does her thing…🤩🔥
Not to mention big spender…😍
Liza is great film and greater Broadway given in her genes from both parents but mostly her mother Judy Garland. Baryshnikov is class and thousands of years of Russian artistic genius through his ballet yet modern American assimilation gives fire he thrives in. Both are wonderful. How I miss the old TV specials and star variety shows which brought all of the worlds great into our living rooms continually throughout the years.
I think this is something that our generation will never experience at all. Thankfully CZcams is a thing now so 30 year old me can watch these masterpiece performance.
I could watch this for hours. Two marvelous talents for the ages. J'adore Misha!
I was so lucky to see him dance the Nutcracker! This was over 40 years ago but a memory I will not forget!
As did I at the Kennedy Center when in high school. I was transfixed and he stole my heart forever 😉😄
Он не умеет танцевать плохо, он не позволяет себе танцевать просто небрежно. В большом и малом он ВЕЛИК!
One of the most enjoyable clips I've ever seen: two monstrous talents.
SHE IS JUST THE VOICE... HI ÎS ALL THE REST.
WORLDS ARTIST LIZA MINNELLI absolutely the best ❤💯
The energy pouring off these two jumps off the stage and out from the screen!
Indeed everything we have always watched is off of the rails. How could we not love him in any way shape and form
Perfection!!! He is completely breath taking in every way. Gorgeous!!!! She is so mesmerizing to watch and her voice. Bravo
Шикарный танцор!!! Не перестаю восхищаться многогранностью его таланта
His ballet and gymnastic training sure show through. I can't take my eyes off him.
we are so so so lucky that still can watch this ❤
BIG THANK YOU
M Baryshnikov is exceptional - Classic. But Liza (singer dancer actor) is more than able to hold her own on stage with this great (greatest?) male Ballet dancer of the 20th century. Liza had phenominal talent, versatility & presence!
There seems no limit to MB's technical mastery, but his key to the stage in every scene is Liza. Amazing. Thanks for posting this. I love CZcams. I am not privy to the wonders of Broadway, and this gives me a taste.
Two absolutely amazing talents in their prime. It's obvious by the chemistry that they were also friends offstage. At the time this was taped, Liza & Misha were hanging out almost every night at Studio 54 along with Calvin Klein, Capote, Warhol, and Halston. All that drinking, drugs, smoking, and sex--and they were still able to get it together for this show ----aah the magic of youth! Dwight Hemion really knew how to produce a stunning TV special.
They make it look effortless, and fun. Great talent, I enjoyed it.
They're both incredible. It's a delight to watch them.
Total-Class, the likes of which we are so sadly missing today. ----------Mary & I watched this & I loved every moment. MB was a dancer like no one else ; grace, power, & he made it look effortless. The man was awesome, & Liza hung in with him all the way. ----------------------WolFSky9
Wonderful! I would love to have seen Misha dance with Ann Reinking. ❤️
nobody has talent like this anymore
Oh Wow! Two of the best performers of all time.
i love this man.
Watching Baryshnikov explains the assignation, "simply the best." It's evident that every cell of his body is inhabited by the flow, discipline, strength, and flexibility of dance. "Just like butter."
Somehow I wouldn't expect Micha to be as perfect in other dance genres, but he is!Absolute perfection!
The best dancer the world will ever know!
I think Donna was talking about Mikhail Barysgbikov not Liza Minnell. She was good but HE is a legend.
Yes Baryshikov
Mikhail Barysgbikov not Liza Minnell. Yes Baryshikov ????? Incredible...neither of you can spell either of their names! TRY these...Mikhail Baryshnikov and Liza Minnelli. PS...I love Baryshnikov and yes, there was something very, very special about him but there have been a few others who were considered GODs of the ballet in their day. Perhaps you've never seen them dance....try looking for Rudolph Nureyev here....or look up Vaslav Nijinsky! Even Alexander Godunov, a friend, fellow Bolshoi star and classmate of Misha's was a superb dancer...albeit a much larger man at 6'2" tall. You've probably not seen any of them or know who they are.
Kuklapolitan, Baryshnikov is more than just a great ballet dancer. He IS the movement itself. The pure metaphysics of the body, as Joseph Brodsky said. Nureyev was very "cold", even in the "joke dances", and even more so in ballet. Godunov was too "heavy". It is better to talk about Nijinsky as a founder of modern style of dancing, but his dance is not very relevant today. And Baryshnikov - this is for ages. He really is the best.
Sorry, but there is no argument alive that can legitimize the idea that LIZA MINNELLI is NOT a legend. She of course is very much a legend.
Все движения легки, непренуждённы- талант. Браво Михаил👏
The most versatile dancer I've ever known, classic, pop, ballet... as i heard in a movie, like the angels!
liza one of the few who can keep up with him. This is an amazing number
The magic of two big , real stars!!! i just love this video, he is just perfect and Liza oh well, she is Liza!!!
i am sorry but every time i see baryshnikov dance he outshines whoever he's with. he truly is the best in the world.
It has been said that he doesn't have the grace of Nureyev. Can't say I've noticed meself. The man is a dynamo. A thousand bravos Mr. B. Long may you live.
mark prescott, nah. Nureyev might be more technical but he doesn't have one-tenth of Baryshnikov's stage presence. Nureyev is just a brilliant ballet dancer. Baryshnikov is an ARTIST.
He makes everything look so effortless and it is incredibly difficult! He has a true talent from God there isn't many dancers that can even come in his league!
Soviet school!!! And notice, - it has cost him nothing!!!
To " Jericho" : Sir, you can't compare a classic ballet master, vs a jazz dancer. Liza knew she couldn't " COMPARE" ; THAT wasn't the point. ------------WolfSky9
I love the "ghosts of the theatre" reacting in the background.
Que maravilha reviver grandes momentos como estes. Liza e Misha são incríveis e eternos. 🌟🌟🌹🌹
Baryshnikov este hombre si que es mi amor platónico que bello y q artista y bailarin tan profesional y completo es realmente una maravilla
Дух захватывает!
What talent...look at that wowza body on Liza and the dancing of Misha is just not human it out of this World x
Carmel Ellis yes
I knew he could dance, but WOW!!!!!!!!! He can sing, too! If I got to meet him someday, I would be so very happy!
Met him in NYC after a show he was a bit quiet but did autographs.
Marvellous✨Thank you Liza (with a Z) and Mikhail (with a K). You are with us forever ✨
He's very much alive and still dancing and teaching dance in NY.
I remember watching this when I was 8 years old..it was on the new Channel 4 in England... I stilll love it
Two unbelievable talents
Both so incredibly talented and charismatic. I could watch either of them all day! Of course if I had to choose just one... Mikhail😉
Mr. B is his usual fantastic self here, so versatile.
Thanks for sharing! Wow, gravity just seems a mere inconvenience to Misha doesn’t it? But, humble in his performance, acknowledging Liza’s mastery of the broadway stage.
She had that "It" thing that makes a performer great!
this remindes me how Liza was such a wonderful dancer,she is an all out entertainer like her Mother.
Лайза Миннелли - супер талантливая: голос, артистизм, пластика. Рядом с Барышниковым она смотрится очень органично! Браво!
Какая пластика, лёгкость! Просто порхает. А ещё и поёт. Многогранный талант. Восхищение.
это космос, две легенды на одной сцене!!!
thank you ... a great combination of artististic talent.
Such a talented man. Love to watch him.
Il più grande in assoluto!!!!
That’s so awesome!❤
Still thrilling to watch, ..Lisa...wow..Mischa wow..love love both
I adore how Baryshnikov paid homage to certain other dancers and styles I’m thinking Donald O’Connor for one, and yet he made it completely his own …..what an incredible artist perfection 👌👏
This is fantastic stuff. I've never seen this until now. Superb artists, pristine performance, par excellence! What a time capsule.
I love watching Baryshnikov!
