Bach and Stravinsky

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

From St Giles'
Church,
Cripplegate, the first of two concerts this week bridging the music of two composers and a gap of 250 years. Prokofiev once described Stravinsky's music as "Bach on the wrong notes", while
Stravinsky said "I should have been a small Bach, living in anonymity and composing for God." Bach Brandenburg Concerto No 4 in G
Stravinsky Canticum sacrum
8.10 Stravinsky and the Past For half his life
Stravinsky wrote neoclassical music, yet he described neoclassicism as "a much abused expression meaning absolutely nothing". Michael Oliver explores this paradox.
8.30 Bach, arr Stravinsky Von Himmel hoch (BWV 769)
Bach Magnificat in D (BWV 243)
