BBC Proms 1996: Stravinsky Day

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

From the Royal Albert Hall, London.
Stravinsky's originality and influence are heard immediately in a work that almost singlehandedly created the genre of music theatre. It is directed by the youngest conductor ever to appear at the Proms. For the audience in the Royal Albert Hall, the performance is semi-staged, with dancers from Birmingham's Royal Ballet.
