Description

From a kaleidoscopic abstract ballet to a poignant elegy: this album celebrates Kenneth MacMillan's boundless inventiveness in three works. Kenneth MacMillan (1929-92) was the leading choreographer of his generation. Famous for his full-length dramatic works that delved deep into the human psyche, MacMillan's creativity knew no bounds. His one-act ballets also shaped the collective identity of the Royal Ballet, challenging the art form to reflect the emotions, passions, and human fragility of real life. This mixed program offers a glimpse into MacMillan's extraordinary craftsmanship through three different works.
