Notes: “The American spirit soars when Taylor’s dances and dancers meet, but rarely has it reached the sublime heights of this piece. It is a paean to remembered love, with couple after loving couple looking back even as they embrace an unknown future… It is bittersweet but, typical for Taylor, also optimistic and uplifting. An American masterpiece.” – Octavio Roca, The San Francisco Chronicle
