...home of the divine Kshesinskaya, the ballerina whom Nicholas II loved. It was the city of grey and pink granite, of Rastrelli's baroque Winter Palace, Catherine the Great's classicism, Alexander I's low-lying "architectural landscapes." At its Imperial Opera, Prince Igor had its première. Rembrandt's Polish Nobleman hung in its Hermitage. It was the town where skylarks sang, in whose parks birches crowded, and under the birches melting little Russian mushrooms grew...

The choreography was by George Balanchine (born Balanchivadze in Russian Georgia), who never tires of finding things...
There has been a lot of resurrecting going on lately. Dmitri Mitropoulos uncarthed the Mahler First Symphony, and played it over the air. Igor Stravinsky conducted the Boston Symphony Orchestra in Tchaikowski's Second Symphony last weekend, and next Sunday Bruno Walter expects to dust a few cobwebs from the Bruckner Eighth.
