Composer of the Week: Igor Stravinsky

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

The Years in Paris
(1882-1971)
As a prelude to Stravinsky Day at the Proms, Stephen Walsh examines some of Stravinsky's earlier scores. In this week's programmes he looks at how Parisian audiences and musicians reacted to the composer's latest offerings - from the pagan Russian rituals of Petrushka and The Rite of Spring to the refined neoclassical style of his octet.
Today's programme features works premiered in the season 1910-11: The Firebird Suite (original 1910 version), Fireworks: Fantasy for Orchestra and Petrushka (Suite). Producer Peter Thresh
