The now-classic dances created by Mark Morris and performed by his company for the Theatre Royal de la Monnaie. Morris was named Dance Director in 1988, succeeding the revered Maurice Bejart (whom Morris despised, and dismissed, as a corrupt hack). The Mark Morris Dance Company's stint in relatively staid Belgium was one of the most controversial and tumultuous in the history of modern dance. And yet, in spite of the obvious problems they faced, it was also one of the most productive in the company's history. It helped a lot that Mark Morris enjoyed the unequivocal support of legends like Mikhail Baryshnikov, who performed as a regular member of the company, and powerful musical giants like Deborah Voigt, Riccardo Muti, Philippe Herreweghe, and James Maddalena, among many others. Some of the dances committed for posterity in the book include such masterpieces as "New Love Song Waltzes", "L'Allegro, Il Penseroso ed Il Moderato", still his single most famous work, and "Stabat Mater", among many other now-canonical dance pieces. An absolute "must-have" title for Mark Morris collectors. This is a copy of the Limited Edition, whose limitation is not stated. This title is a great collection.
