From the Royal Albert Hall, London.
Stravinsky's originality and influence are heard immediately in a work that almost singlehandedly created the genre of music theatre. It is directed by the youngest conductor ever to appear at the Proms. For the audience in the Royal Albert Hall, the performance is semi-staged, with dancers from Birmingham's Royal Ballet.

Stravinsky The Soldier's Tale

(See This Week: page 10)

H G Wells seems best remembered for "book-of-the-film" science-fiction stories, socialism, an affair with Rebecca West , and eugenics. But in his lifetime, his books were bestsellers and he won immense critical acclaim, opening up new avenues in literature with his forward-looking scientific thought and dazzlingly innovative science fiction. Peter Kemp reappraises the range of Wells's work and the nature of his originality, and shows that the intellectual issues he raised are still very much alive exactly 50 years after his death.

A programme reflecting the Proms themes of creation and re-creation. The Flood, which includes a setting of the Te Deum, wittily recounts part of the Creation story. Before that, Stravinsky imagines the world of Tchaikovsky in The Fairy's Kiss and reworks the fevered music of Gesualdo.

Twenty-five years on, how does the legacy of Stravinsky still speak to the contemporary musical world? The American scholar Richard Taruskin, professor of music at the University of California at Berkeley, gives the inaugural BBC Proms Lecture.

Stravinsky Day
I From the Royal Albert Hall , I London. The final concert of this celebratory day shows how truly universal a modem composer Stravinsky was. The restraint of his Mass and the vocal elaboration of his cantata demonstrate how he reinvented the music of the past with piercing originality and contrast with the bubbling rhythmic energy of his concerto.
