In his eulogy for Balanchine, dance critic Clement Crisp summed up his contribution to ballet: “It is hard to think of the ballet world without the colossal presence of George Balanchine. But we have not lost Balanchine—not the essential Balanchine, who lives in the great catalogue of masterpieces that have so shaped and refined our understanding of ballet and given it—and us—thrilling life.” Thrill to his extraordinary genius with three very different but equally seminal works.
