oberon Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 I see we are to have a new conductor next week, Faycal Karoui who is a protege of Michel Plasson. Looks like NYCB is beginning the quest for a new music director. I remember when Quinn first stepped on the podium as a guest, I liked her alot. She seemed to be pushing the dancers in what used to be a "fast" company but had slowed down a bit, back up to speed. Also at that time Kristjan Jarvi guested and was excellent; I hope he might get another shot.
ViolinConcerto Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 Some of Quinn's tempi have been so fast as to be nearly undanceable. One of Bouder's 1st performances of "Ballo della Regina" was like that. She managed to finish -- beautifully -- somehow -- once again showing what an outstanding dancer she is.

ViolinConcerto Posted January 13, 2006 Posted January 13, 2006 I will do what I can to check on that performance, but my recollection is that it was Quinn -- last Spring season.
ViolinConcerto Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 Rchamp, I bow to your vastly superior knowledge and/or memory. You're absolutely right. It was either Kaplow or Moredock. According to the rules of the site, I can't tell you how I learned this because it's technically hearsay, but the source, as they say, was impeccable.
