David Bintley, director of the Birmingham Royal Ballet, presents five programmes exploring highlights of the ballet repertoire.
Today's programme focuses on the heyday of Diaghilev's Ballets Russes, which changed the face of ballet for ever at the beginning of the 20th century, when Stravinsky, Ravel and Debussy were leading a similar revolution in the world of music.
BBC Philharmonic, conductor Paavo Jarvi
Debussy Prelude a l'Apres-Midi d'un Faune
Stravinsky Suite: The Firebird (1919 version); Suite: Pulcinella
