Morning Performance: A Week at the Ballet: 3: Three 20th-Century Russians

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

With David Bintley.

Three of the greatest Russian composers of the 20th century made substantial contributions to the ballet repertoire: Prokofiev, Shostakovich and most famously of all, Igor Stravinsky.

Today's programme features three scores written within just a few years of each other, but each rejecting a very different aesthetic.

BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, conductor Martyn Brabbins

Prokofiev The Prodigal Son

Shostakovich Suite; The Golden Age
