Petroc Trelawny presents the second of Valery Gergiev 's concerts exploring works by Stravinsky, Debussy and Prokofiev.
Debussy's glittering seascape La Mer has long been admired for its descriptive precision, but no less atmospheric is his hazy evocation of the summer reveries of a faun. Stravinsky's Rite of Spring instigated riots at its Parisian world premiere, whereas his Symphonies of Wind Instruments is, by contrast, coolly Classical.
