As Balanchine famously said, “The music is always first,” and Robbins puts that principle on vivid display here. Turning to the music of Bach, he set 2 and 3 Part Inventions on young dancers from the School of American Ballet in 1994, creating a work of shining clarity, surprise and optimism. Accompanied by an on-stage cellist, A Suite of Dances is a piece for one male dancer that is a solo tour de force, at once witty and pensive. Deeply-felt and elegiac, In Memory Of… is a study of unfathomable loss from which no life is immune. Glass Pieces is utterly contemporary, pulsating with the throbbing pace of urban life.
