As mounted by The Dutch National Ballet to commemorate ballet choreographer Hans van Manen's 75th birthday, the aptly-named Hans Van Manen Festival brought together representative dancers from companies around the world, who pay homage to Manen by performing many of his best known and most acclaimed dances onstage. This release features highlights from that festival; performers include Larissa Lezhnina, Tamás Nagy and others from The Dutch National Ballet on Adagio Hammerklavier; Ivan Kozlov and Uliana Lopatkina from The Kirov Ballet on Trois Gnossiennes; and much more. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi
