| | Description: | Guided by his idol George Balanchine, Hans Van Manen has striven all his life to create meaning in his choreography. Alongside conversations with colleagues and collaborators, in the documentary Moving to Music, van Manen talks about his life and work, and from where his inspiration came in ballets that are charged with drama and eroticism. Also included are three complete works from Dutch National Ballet - the early Metaforen; Adagio Hammerklavier, which presents the slow movement of Beethoven's Op. 106 sonata performed live on stage with three couples in various configurations; and Frank Bridge Variations, a late masterpiece that plays with balance and counterpoint to music by Benjamin Britten. Total playing time: 127 minutes (Documentary: 52 minutes · Ballets: 75 minutes). Language: English · Subtitles: English, German, Japanese, Korean. HD 16:9 · PCM Stereo · BD 50 · Region: A, B, C.

Known for his clarity of form, musicality and psychological precision, Hans van Manen has shaped the international ballet landscape with a distinctive style that unites classical technique, contemporary movement and a sharp theatrical instinct. This DVD presents a selection of emblematic works that illustrate his trademark use of clean lines, sculptural group formations and intimate duets, often driven by a refined sense of tension and wit. Viewers experience the breadth of his artistic universe: from cool, neoclassical abstractions to emotionally charged pas de deux and ensemble pieces that explore human relationships, power structures and vulnerability with striking economy of means.
The production focuses on the choreographic language itself, allowing the camera to follow the dancers' phrasing, the architecture of the stage pictures and the subtle interplay between bodies and music. Light, costumes and stage design are kept elegantly reduced in order to highlight van Manen's structural clarity and musical intelligence. This gives both ballet aficionados and newcomers an ideal opportunity to study how movement, rhythm and space are woven into a concise, highly expressive whole. The DVD format offers the comfort of repeated viewing, enabling dance students, professionals and enthusiasts to revisit details of phrasing, partnering work and compositional choices that have made van Manen a reference point for countless choreographers and companies around the world.
NAXOS Audiovisual, known primarily through the wider NAXOS group as a leading label for classical music and opera on CD, DVD and Blu-ray, has built a strong reputation for making high-quality performances accessible to a broad audience. Their audiovisual releases typically emphasize faithful sound, clear picture quality and informative presentation, helping to document important productions, artists and choreographers of our time. By dedicating a DVD release to Hans van Manen, NAXOS Audiovisual underlines its commitment to preserving and disseminating milestone works in the performing arts, particularly in the field of ballet and contemporary dance.
The featured dancers and creative collaborators on this homage reflect the high artistic standards associated with van Manen's repertoire. The performers are drawn from leading European companies that have developed a close relationship with his work, and they bring to the screen an impressive combination of technical precision and dramatic subtlety. The director of the film shapes the material in a way that serves the choreography first--favoring longer takes, clear framing and an unobtrusive editing style so that viewers can appreciate the architecture of van Manen's creations without distraction. The artistic teams involved in lighting, costume and stage presentation contribute to a visually coherent portrait of the choreographer's world, underlining the elegance, modernity and human depth that have earned his ballets a lasting place in the international repertory. | | | Director: |
