Recenzii
Kendall's portrait of Balanchine's first twenty years will now be the standard reference for this period ... Balanchine and the Lost Muse is a breathtaking conversation with [Balanchine himself].
Kendall's great success is her illustration of the profound love and devotion of these dancers for their art.
The book reads like a detective novel, but has pages of luminous writing about the choreographer and his ballet.
[Kendall's] history of ballet in the early post-Revolutionary period is very valuable, as Balanchine told us little about his youth.
Elizabeth Kendall has unearthed the world of Balanchines childhood. For this alone we owe her a great debt ... This is her real strength: at its best, her book is not only a portrait of Balanchines youth, it is a portrait of Russia in collapse of the world that was dying as Balanchine was coming of age.
Kendall's ability to breathe life into characters and situations is one of the main pleasures of the book
