 Balanchine variations.
Author: Goldner, Nancy Published: 2008 Veteran New York critic Nancy Goldner, who has been watching performances by New York City Ballet almost from its inception in 1948, here selects 22 favourite Balanchine ballets for discussion in detail, from the 1928 Apollo to Ballo della Regina of 1978. She places each work in the context of the choreographer's life and sensibility, addressing such issues as his taste in music and whether his style can be viewed as particularly American. |
