LIVE - From the Bridgewater Hall in Manchester. 

Presented by Martin Handley. 

The BBC Philharmonic Orchestra with composer/conductor/chansonnier HK Gruber at the helm, offer a theatrical concert with ballet at the centre of the first half. Firstly Gottfried Von Einem's Episodes of Turandot, based on the same story about a ruthless and cold Chinese Princess which inspired Puccini's opera of the same name and then Poulenc's Les Biches, a fantasy dance conceived by the young and ambitious composer for Diaghilev's Ballets Russes. After the interval H.K. Gruber breaths life back into his most famous composition: Frankenstein!!, a piece he both conducts and performs in as chansonnier and a work which warns not about the monster but about the "figure behind the scenes whom we forget at our peril".
