About "La Bayadère: Act 3 Nikiya & Solor (Pliés)" by Andrew Holdsworth
Holdsworth distills the Nikiya & Solor pas de deux into a plié exercise, the piano line unfurling with slow, deliberate warmth. The romantic tension of La Bayadère survives the translation: each chord is a held pose, each resolution a quiet exhale.
