"Yet Tuesday, the ballet confirmed itself as one of the most exciting works in the entire international repertory. The electrifying performance was largely the result of the new discipline of the corps, but also of the superb artistry of Victor Castelli and Christine Redpath as the first couple, the bathing beauty and the dynamic cavalier; Edward Villella and Sara Leland, sensitive and interesting as the doll-like lovers of the second movement; Robert Weiss and Merrill Ashley, softer toned, in the third duet."
“Symphony in Three Movements, with its rich shifting patterns, its intricate and surprising rhythms, its brilliant plays with asymmetry, its witty accents and throwaway gestures, its extension of the classic ballet vocabulary into a new idiom, is a ballet of unbelievable textures and originality.”
—Anna Kisselgoff, New York Times, 1974
