Inspired by a visit to Van Cleef & Arpels, Balanchine distilled the brilliant facets of precious stones into a grand display. "Emeralds" moves at Fauré’s mesmerizing pace, while "Rubies" races like lightning through Stravinsky’s jazzy capriccio. With its symphonic Tschaikovsky score, "Diamonds" reflects the regality of Balanchine’s classical heritage.
