Book Reviews of Balanchine Variations
Book Review: Ex New York City Ballet Dancer
Summary: 5 Stars
Ms. Goldner's response to Balanchine is almost as much a pleasure to read as Balanchine's ballets used to be to watch. She brings forward the intricacies of physical movement musicality and emotional intent inherent in the choreography without missing a single element's importance and depth. She does it succinctly easily and pleasurably, in a kind of way Balanchine himself would have done. He must have been looking over her shoulder.
How she makes me miss dancing these wonderful ballets. For the dancer who knew Balanchine she offers a joyful nostalgia at what in his work is immortal. If you have never seen a Balanchine Ballet read this first. If you go to New York City to see the Company go to the Lincoln Center Performing Arts library as well just so you know what she and I were looking at during the time Balanchine was there.
