Publisher's Note:

Keith Money was beginning the first of his noted photographic books on the ballet exactly at the time the great partnership between Margot Fonteyn and Rudolf Nureyev was formed, and from the start he had a privileged view of the moulding of the two dancers into the team that was to take the world by storm in the Sixties. John Percival, The Times' ballet critic, said of Fonteyn and Nureyev, "They were a partnership of the like of which we have never seen before and we will never see again...unique and blazing talents, each superb, but very different from each other, coming together to make something that proved greater than either of them." Money's camera often recorded matters on an hour-to-hour, day-to-day basis, from first rehearsals tom public performance, and to complete certain sequences, the photographer (who had become a close friend of his subjects) travelled extensively; in one instance he joined the pair on a seven-thousand-mile round trip. His is the most comprehensive documentary cache imaginable. He has now assembled a panoramic selection of master prints - a great many of the pictures being printed for the first time - to provide a lasting record of one of the outstanding theatrical experiences of our time.
