"...Before there
was Maria Callas, there was Maya
Plisetskaya leaves no doubt as to why she
was once a Bolshoy Ballet star who did
things her way and will always be
considered one of the century's greatest
ballerinas.
Yet the point about Ms. Plisetskaya is
that behind all the sheer nerve, there is
always a profound depth of artistry and,
even now, an impressive vestige of a
once-formidable classical technique. Here
again she was herself: flamboyant,
breaking rules of hidebound taste and
tradition, and holding the stage with her
commanding presence..."
