But as far as Ohad Naharin is concerned, it is also and above all a class of excellence: the proof through Sadeh21, one of the major pieces of the Batsheva 's repertoire. Created by Ohad Naharin in collaboration with his dancers, Sadeh21 shows movement in its simple nakedness. Dance, with slowing down effects and sudden accelerations takes on the look of a quasi cinematographic odyssey: 'a journey by body'.Sadeh21in the end turns out to be one of the most endearing pieces amongst those by Maestro Naharin. Speaking of experience 'Radiating and radioactive, dangerous and exciting', the artistic director of the Batsheva gets it right. Everything in Sadeh21 is exceptional. To the point that this choreography, acclaimed from its beginnings, plunges the spectator into a unique emotional state. An effect of pleasure and addiction are guaranteed.

For its first performance (1864) Rossini arranged the work with only two pianos and harmonium. Partly for fear that it would be done anyway after his death, Rossini discreetly orchestrated the Petite Messe Solennelle during 1866-67, without losing its candor and subtlety. The resulting version had its first public performance on 28 February 1869, three months after the composer's death. Directed by Michael Beyer; Recorded on 2008 at the Leipzig Gewandhaus (84 min)

The result is called Paradise, an album in which 'We tried to create a narrative arc in the same way as we link tracks when we play live,' says McCarter.
