Discovering Stravinsky's Firebird Suite (2021x8)

Exibido em:: Ago 13, 2021

Tom Service, conductor Nicholas Collon and the Aurora Orchestra continue their impressive feat of explaining complex works and then performing them from memory. This year, their biggest challenge yet to the Proms: Stravinsky’s Firebird Suite. Russian fairy tales and folk melodies collide with Stravinsky’s bold modernism in one of the great ballet scores of the 20th century. The concert opens with another Russian classic: Rachmaninov’s virtuosic Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini, performed by former Radio 3 New Generation Artist Pavel Kolesnikov.
