NYCB Vol. 4 No. 18 - Stravinsky Violin Concerto

When on tour in Russia in 1972, Stravinsky Violin Concerto was a hit with audiences. Russian dance critic, Yuri Slonimsky, praised Balanchine for using his dancers like “graphically drawn figures that can fulfill any zigzag of Stravinsky’s thoughts—his whims, irony, jokes and so on.”
