Heard most recently at the Proms in 2012, Sir Simon Rattle and the Berliner Philharmoniker return 
for the first of their two concerts this summer.

An all-Russian programme inspired by dance 
opens with Rachmaninov’s Symphonic Dances – the composer’s blazing ‘final spark’ and, for many, his finest orchestral work. Embracing jazz, plainchant and the waltz, this mercurial piece is a showcase of dramatic skill.

After the interval we enter the Russian fairy-tale world of Stravinsky’s The Firebird, the vivid, folk-infused ballet score for Diaghilev’s Ballet Russes that established the young composer as a rising star.
