Reviews
A valuable record by a man who saw the Diaghilev Ballet performances in London & set out to record the dances & the performance of the dancers, including Nijinsky. Unfortunately, the style is rather wordy & overblown, which makes it somewhat heavy going. Found this in the stacks of the local public library, so not unobtainable.
