BBC Proms 1996: Stravinsky Day

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

From the Royal Albert Hall, London.
A programme reflecting the Proms themes of creation and re-creation. The Flood, which includes a setting of the Te Deum, wittily recounts part of the Creation story. Before that, Stravinsky imagines the world of Tchaikovsky in The Fairy's Kiss and reworks the fevered music of Gesualdo.
