A famous youth orchestra based in Vienna comes to the Proms and the Royal Albert Hall under the baton of one of the greatest composer-conductors, Pierre Boulez. His Notations, reworkings of four piano pieces, are mirrored by Bartok's rarely heard Four Pieces for Orchestra, and the concert is framed by orchestral showcases by Ravel and Stravinsky.

Boulez Notations I-IV

8.00 Boulez's Lost Symphony
There is a perennial fascination in lost works. In 1947, Pierre Boulez composed his one and only symphony. It has never been heard, for shortly after completing a work he still regards as the summation of everything he knew up to that point, Boulez lost the manuscript. Half a century later, he talks to Brian Morton about the incident, describes his emotions and remembers how the work might have sounded.

8.20 Stravinsky The Rite of Spring

Michael Rosen examines four very different historical attempts at moulding the minds of the young. 2: Russia: the Imagination at War Meet the man who never was and the cockroach who might be Stalin.
The early experiments of the first years of the Russian Revolution saw the folk tale elevated to a new status in the people's regime, the fairy tale attacked for its lack of reality, and the classics newly revered. As the new Communist ideology hardened, Kornei Chukovsky fought and won a lone battle for the fairy tale, while others found the forest of children's literature a place of refuge. Repeat
