| |  | The Art of Maria Tallchief (1954-66)Including music by Tchaikovsky, Prokofiev and Mendelssohn
The Bell Telephone Hour Orchestra & Orchestre de Radio-Canada, Donald Voorhees & Jean Deslauriers Maria Tallchief has long been recognized as one of the most accomplished American-trained dancers of her time. Her superb technique, combined with an innate musicality, lent a strong presence to her appearances, most particularly to the many major roles created for her by George Balanchine. Tallchief made five guest appearances on the Bell Telephone Hour. Her partners included an appropriately starry assemblage of leading male dancers. The excerpts, ranging from the cool neoclassicism of Balanchine’s Allegro brillante to John Butler’s ardent Romeo and Juliet pas de deux, amply demonstrate the extraordinary versatility of this truly great American ballerina. | | | This item is currently out of stock at the UK distributor.
