When We Fell, Kyle Abraham’s bracing new piece for NYCB, made a minimalist statement on a maximalist quadruple bill, also notable for stunning ensemble work in Alexei Ratmansky's Odesa.

Unlike Tiler Peck’s ballet, the stories of Odesa continue to live in your head.

NYCB has always had a mission to present new works and Saturday's program included Amaria, a creation by Mauro Bigonzetti for retiring ballerina Maria Kowroski.

The Seasons is overstuffed, uneven and way too busy. There are so many steps, but they rarely made me "see the music". It was a frustrating ballet, with so many lovely moments that were less than the sum of its parts.

Twelve years after its creation, we’re still talking about what’s going on in Russian Seasons and we’re still looking forward to what the next dancer in gold, or red, or green will do with the role.

Is there anything Tiler Peck can’t do? After her just completed triumph in Swan Lake we’re obliged to say no.

Etudes is a welcome addition to the Bolshoi's repertoire.

À quatre mains et à deux pianos, Pavel Kolesnikov, Samson Tsoy, Lukas Geniušas et Anna Geniushene ont fait honneur à Schubert, Rachmaninov et leur contemporain Desyatnikov.

Les Jérusalem marient virtuosité et dérision, entre Schulhoff et Korngold. Fausse diva de cabaret, la soprano Hila Baggio les accompagne avec humour sur la musique de Desyatnikov.

Lukas Geniušas, grand espoir de la nouvelle génération de pianistes, livrait salle Gaveau un récital exceptionnel, de Chopin à Desyatnikov en passant par Tchaïkovski et Prokofiev.

Rare est une telle symbiose entre partenaires de musique de chambre. Lukas Geniusas et Aylen Pritchin semblent participer de la même entité organique, du même souffle, de mêmes pulsions. Au programme : Stravinsky, Tchaïkovsky, Desyatnikov et Beethoven.
