Duration: 59 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC Radio 3Latest broadcast: on BBC Radio 3

Donald Macleod explores the life and work of Igor Stravinsky, today exploring the period of Stravinsky's evolution as a composer in which he seemed to look backwards to more classical forms. He was also beginning a life as a more deliberate performer: his 'expressionless' music becoming a vehicle in which he could express himself.
