"Die Spannweite reicht von Twilight mit Alexandra Radius und Han Ebbelaar bis zu Celebration (1995) aus Anlass des 25-jährigen Regierungsjubiläums der niederländischen Königin. (...) Was den Niederländern Recht ist, sollte den Deutschen endlich billig sein. Crankos Lebenswerk ist längst hinfällig, will es nicht endgültig in Vergessenheit geraten." (Dance for You)
"This six disc collection: Hans van Manen, Maser of Movement is a model of what every important choreographer should have to represent their output of creativity. (...) Part of the pleasure in viewing the 27 complete ballets and attendant documentary material in this collection is the range of wonderful dance artists featured, many long retired and many just reaching their peak." (Dance Europe)
"My favourite Christmas present. (...) Ten hours of Hans van Manen on six DVDs, produced by the Dutch Hans van Manen foundation: It is an honour which has never before been awarded to any other ballet choreographer. It comprehensively introduces Van Manen, the man, his life, over thirty ballets of his oeuvre, selected and narrated by him in a highly personal form, within the circle of his friends, workers and dancers – from his beginnings as a fresh, young pupil right through to his current position as an iconic Dutch cultural export."
