Released to somewhat sniffy reviews, this is Danny Elfman's first ballet score, written for chroeographer Twyla Tharp with American Ballet Theater. By all accounts, Elfman seems to have written a score that wears his admiration for the Russian ballet masters (in particular Stravinsky and Prokofiev) proudly on its sleeve. That said, Elfman's multi-movement 45 minute work was scored for amplified electronics in addition to orchestra; by all accounts the collaboration appears to have been smooth and admiration mutual.
