The Goldberg Variations
Bach/Robbins |
Brahms/Handel
Handel, Brahms/Robbins, Tharp |
J.S. Bach and Johannes Brahms tower over the German musical landscape. The music of one: clear-eyed, confident and complex, seems to have flowed from the head of a god. The other has its headwaters in the depths of the soul: tumultuous and passionate. A Robbins’ masterpiece,
The Goldberg Variations are precision and performance grandly executed on every level. The ballet is a testament to Robbins’ unceasing choreographic invention. Brahms’ Variations and Fugue on a Theme by Handel brought Twyla Tharp and Jerome Robbins together for the only time. Their collaboration,
Brahms/Handel is a vibrant, quicksilver ballet that employs two cadres of dancers pitted against each other in an exuberant ballet of artistic wills. It will make you catch your breath.
