Diaghilev Russian Ballet
Sir John Drummond introduces the first of five programmes of music associated with Diaghilev ballets, played by the BBC Concert
Orchestra. Diaghilev is often remembered for his collaborations with Stravinsky, but his Ballets
Russes also commissioned works from other young composers and breathed life into older scores.
