Credits & Notes

Mr. Feld’s ”Moon Skate,” a solo for Mr. Curry set to the slow movement of Ravel’s G Major Concerto, is one of the best things Mr. Feld has choreographed in any medium. It is a poetic piece that uses skating’s quality to utmost metaphoric effect.

-Anna Kisselgoff, New York Times, 7/28/1984
