...career performing this legacy, but fresh material keeps coming. Two years ago, Peter Martins drew on her restraint and musicianship in a delicate work, Rossini Quartets. Last week at the New York City Ballet, Jerome Robbins weighed in with a really fat part. In Memory of . . . , set to Alban Berg's elegiac Violin Concerto, is a highly dramatic work, more openly emotional than Robbins usually allows himself to be.
