Van Manen - Concertante
Hans van Manen is known as the choreographer of the Dutch National Ballet. His neoclassical style is based on that of George Balanchine. The decors are usually sober, so the audience is distracted as little as possible from the dance. The work Concertante (1994) follows the style of Van Manen’s later works and is choreographed on the Petite Symphonie Concertante by Swiss composer Frank Martin. The ballet contains lots of humor and aggression, dazzling solos and an intense pas de deux. This performance by the Bavarian State Ballet is recorded in the Prinzregentheater in Munich in 1997. Soloists are Judith Turos, Norbert Graf, Tina-Kay Bohnstedt, Patrick Teschner, Valentina Divina, Guan Deng, Silvia Confalonieri and Alen Bottaini.
