Over Tribute to Hans van Manen

Dutch choreographer Hans van Manen (1932) is internationally recognized as one of the grand masters of contemporary ballet. His over 150 ballets all bear his distinct signature, featuring a great clarity in structure, refined simplicity and an aversion to decorative frills. In this tribute to the great choreographer, dancers of the Dutch National Ballet perform three masterpieces from Van Manen's extensive oeuvre. The program opens with Metaforen (1965), set to Daniel-Jean-Yves Lesur's Variations for organ and strings?a groundbreaking work featuring one of the first male pas de deux, considered provocative at the time. This is followed by Adagio Hammerklavier (1973), set to the third movement, Adagio sostenuto, of Ludwig van Beethoven's Hammerklavier Sonata, Op. 106. The program concludes with Frank Bridge Variations (2005), written to Benjamin Britten's Variations on a Theme of Frank Bridge, Op. 10. This performance was recorded at Op?ra Berlioz, Le Corum in Montpellier, France, in 2017.
