THE MIAMI HERALD. March 9, 1995. Laurie Horn

"Miami City Ballet's Gamonet displays new emotional depth. Gamonet's new works are near stylistic opposites linked only by a new depth in the choreographer's emotional maturity and craft. The first - an expanded, finished version of last year's computer-generated work-in-progress, D Symphonies, is the true, laughing love-child of an affair between ballet's neoclassic movement vocabulary and the geometric possibilities of cyberspace. The second Gamonet work - a brand-new duet titled Aria to Richard Wagner's achingly beautiful Liebestod from Tristan und Isolde - is also a love-child. Aria is, by contrast, an exploration of emotion (and balance) on the edge. Born in a blanket of stage fog, the duet explores a moment of abandon."

'Jimmy Gamonet de los Heros' D Symphonies - premiered Thursday at Bailey Hall. Spunky original, full of fresh geometries, insightful musicality and spatial invention. The work is simply the best ballet Gamonet has ever made. Gamonet sets these many moments of static images against the classical-era music of the Bachs with the most catholic musicality. One becomes aware not only of the wonderful dancers - but of the way our humanity is illuminated by the contrast of our physical beings against images we can generate only in our minds. D Symphonies is a stunner."
