Classical Editorial Review
Bolshoi Confidential is an in-depth exploration of the Bolshoi Ballet, its history and the cultural, social and political context in which it has operated since the time of the Tsars. The book has been called 'fascinating' and 'wonderfully written', and the author has been praised for his ability to amass such a wealth of information. However, some readers have found the content to be too dry and scholarly for leisurely reading, and others have accused the author of being sensationalist and lacking in sympathy for his subjects.
