La Danse Hardcover – January 1, 1974

by David Hamilton (Author)
4.3 out of 5 stars 34 ratings
Internationally acclaimed photographer David Hamilton invites the viewer to share delicate moments in ballet in this lush coffee table book and CD collection. His images of young ballet dancers capture the essence of grace at rest and poetry in motion. These tender photographic impressions are accompanied by musical masterpieces created especially for the art form. La Danse includes unpublished pictures of the great Rudolf Nureyev, the twentieth century's greatest male ballet dancer. Included are 4 CDs with the best of romantic ballet classics, including Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake, Sleeping Beauty, and more, performed under the direction of Gunther Herbig, Herbert Kegel, and Willi Boskovsky.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Ballet Photography At Its Best From One Of The Best In Photography
    Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2007
    Do you enjoy ballet photography? Are you a fan of David Hamilton? Do you enjoy classical music? Are you a fan of Rudolf Nureyev? If you are a fan of one or all of them, you'll want to own this fine collectible publication. I recently purchased a copy and find it to be of top quality in terms of professionalism in photography.

    The original La Danse, which, I believe was published in 1974? Contained many of the same photographs which grace the pages of this up-to-date version. There's the splendid full page photographs of charming young girls in ballet, and the rare photographs of Rudolf Nureyev.

    But in the updated version, there is more, much much more. The book contains 4 Classical Ballet music cds, plus photographs from two other David Hamilton classics, Laura and Bilitis. So in many ways, this up-to-date version is much better than the original version.

    If you want to own a book of David Hamilton's at a more affordable price, La Danse will be it.

    I have seen people write that if they could give a zero star rating they would. I always thought well that's kinda mean. Well maybe I was wrong. This book looks like some one had 10 min to try to put photos in a binder before family was going to arrive. Here is the lay out big picture on right page small pic on the left. A lot of waisted space for a large book. Picture quality is down right poor. Hard to make out some pictures. I don't even want to resell this book it's that bad. If I ever need to go to a book burning event I got one finally.

    3.0 out of 5 stars La Danse by David Hamilton
    Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2008
    A beautiful book with the impressionistic photography of David Hamilton. The main dance of the book is ballet, a rather nawor focus these days. Featured are mostly young, female dancers, but there are also shots of Nureyev and a few other male dancers. Finally, it differs from other David Hamilton books by featuring mostly fully-clothed dancers.

    5.0 out of 5 stars バレエの写真集
    Reviewed in Japan on May 18, 2012

    デビット・ハミルトンの写真集を何冊か持っています。
    表紙にピンときた方、バレエに興味がある方は満足できると思います。
    ふわっとしたやや透け感のある衣装がとても綺麗です。

    ヌードは無いわけではありませんが、生々しい感じのものではありません。
    私はデビット・ハミルトンの写真は好きですが、
    あまり露骨な描写のものは好きではないので、
    これくらいの自然なものの方が好感が持てました。

    ７０年代に同タイトルの写真集が出版されていますが、
    写真の大幅な差し替えが行われています。
    同じ写真もありますが、異なっているものが多いです。
    今回追加された写真は、ダンスのものです。

    ハミルトンの写真集と言うよりは、
    ハミルトンの撮ったダンスの写真集と考えれば良いかと思います。

    Un maravilloso libro acompañado de excelentes fotografías y excelsa música, las fotografías que más me gustaron fueron las de las películas de “Laura” y “Bilitis” ya que me encanta mucho el género de “Coming of Age” y Hamilton es un gran maestro de ese género. Fue una grata sorpresa escuchar la música de Tchakoivsky, Khachaturian, Schubert, Strauss, etc. Escuchar este tipo de música mientras ves la belleza de la juventud anima mucho al espíritu. Un gran libro para los amantes de la obra de Hamilton, la danza, la belleza y la buena música
