Reviews

[Rodrigo González · Rating 5 out of 5]

A wonderful book accompanied by excellent photographs and sublime music, the photographs that I liked the most were those from the "Laura" and "Bilitis" movies since I love the "Coming of Age" genre and Hamilton is a great master of that genre. It was a pleasant surprise to listen to the music of Tchakoivsky, Khachaturian, Schubert, Strauss, et cetera. Listening to this type of music while you see the beauty of youth beauty, encourages the spirit a lot. A great book for lovers of Hamilton's work, dance, beauty and good music.

Photographs of dancers, some of which have been previously published (there are several images from Bilitis). Comes with four CDs of classical music as accompaniment.
