In “Apollo” (1928)—set, like many of these works, to music by Igor Stravinsky—a “wild, untamed youth,” the dancer Jacques d’Amboise says, “learns nobility through art.” “Episodes,” from 1959, began as a double bill shared by Martha Graham and George Balanchine, and hasn’t been performed here in four years. And “Concerto Barocco” (1941), for two violins and two ballerinas, comes as close to revealing the essence of Bach as any dance ever will.

As a dancer, Farrell was SUZANNE FARRELL, Artistic Director in a class all her own and hailed as “the most influential ballerina of the late 20th century.” For most of her career, which spanned three decades, she danced at New York City Ballet, where her artistry inspired Balanchine to create nearly NATALIA MAGNICABALLI HEATHER OGDEN* MICHAEL COOK thirty works especially for her–most of them are masterpieces.

Stravinsky palasi synnyinmaahansa vasta elä- mänsä loppupuolella, silloinkin vain käväisemään. Stravinsky saavutti menestystä ja kuuluisuutta jo nuorena miehenä. Vuonna 1913 järjes- tetty Le sacre du printemps -teoksen ensiesityksen skandaali oli kuin varmistus paikalle vuo- sisadan modernismin eturivissä. Säveltäjän myöhempi kehitys oli täynnä melkoisia käänteitä, ja hän on itsekin puhunut selkeistä vaiheista. ”Venäläisen” kauden jälkeen seurasi ”eurooppa- lainen” vaihe, joka muuttui monen ällistykseksi uusklassisismiksi, paluuksi menneille vuo- sisadoille. Stravinsky sävelsi myös runsaasti ortodoksiseen uskontoon kytkeytynyttä musiik- kia liityttyään vuonna 1926 takaisin kirkon jäseneksi. Tämä uskonnollisuus

  • Serge Lifar George Balanchine
    Emmanuel Thiry, histoire de la danse 21 1 Néo-classicisme. George Balanchine Serge Lifar La danse en Angleterre I. George Balanchine (1904-1983), გიორგი მელიტონის ძე ბალანჩივაძე (en Georgien) George Balanchine est un chorégraphe américain d'origine russe qui, avec Serge Lifar, fut l'un des principaux et des plus influents représentants du ballet néoclassique au XXe siècle. 1. Sa vie Fils d'un compositeur géorgien, il entre sans vocation à l'École impériale de danse de Saint- Pétersbourg à 10 ans. Diplômé à 17 ans, il intègre le Gatob1 qui traverse depuis 1917 des moments difficiles. Parallèlement il étudie le piano et la composition au Conservatoire de Petrograd2, espérant devenir compositeur. Cependant, dès 1920, il crée ses premières chorégraphies pour des galas ou des "soirées du jeune ballet ". En 1924, il quitte l'Union soviétique à l’occasion d’une tournée à l’étranger. Les danseurs sont engagés par Serge Diaghilev dans la compagnie des Ballets Russes. Diaghilev lui confie dès 1925 la chorégraphie des intermèdes d'opéras pour la saison d'hiver à Monte- Carlo. Il lui demande ensuite chaque année des créations. Les deux hommes se respectent mais gardent des relations distantes, même si Balanchine reconnaît devoir à Diaghilev la formation de son jugement esthétique. Il écrit « Diaghilev m’enseigna ce qu’était la danse vivante ». Balanchine reste aux Ballets russes jusqu'à leur disparition, en qualité de chorégraphe, et de danseur jusqu'en 1927, date à laquelle il a un accident au genou. En 1929, il collabore à un film à Londres, puis est invité à régler la chorégraphie des Créatures de Prométhée pour le Ballet de l'Opéra de Paris.
