Notes:
“It takes a genius to upstage another genius, and that's just about what Paul Taylor accomplished in his deliciously berserk dance version of Igor Stravinsky's hallowed, epoch-making score… Taylor uses this musical masterpiece as if it were simply a fiendishly interesting piece of music... in devising a dance charade of ever so brittle, arch and waspish humor.” – Alan M. Kriegsman, Washington Post
