Description
1 videocassette (VHS, NTSC) (96 min.) : sd., col. with b&w sequences; 1/2 in.
Summary
Examination of the variety and complexity of George Balanchine's choreographic approach to Igor Stravinsky's music. Examples selected for analysis are drawn from his ballets Agon, Movements for piano and orchestra, Apollo, Jewels (Rubies), Duo concertant, Danses concertantes, Divertimento from Le baiser de la fée, Stravinsky violin concerto. Also demonstrated for purposes of comparison is Albrecht's Act II solo from Giselle. Archival footage (1963) shows Balanchine himself rehearsing Suzanne Farrell, Jacques d'Amboise, and others in Movements for piano and orchestra.
