All Balanchine

"Two richly contrasted Balanchine favorites illuminate the expansiveness of his imaginative reach. Prodigal Son is a powerful expression through dance of the Biblical tale of rebellion and redemption. Liebeslieder Walzer, set to the suite of Brahms songs of the title, comprises a series of rhapsodic dances exploring the graceful surfaces of romance and the deep emotional forces at play within the formal rhythms of the waltz."
