Rattle at Radio 3 - Stravinsky

Sir Simon Rattle conducts Stravinsky's Firebird, Petrushka and The Rite of Spring, from the Barbican Hall. The three great early ballets are performed in a single evening.

Another chance to hear Sir Simon Rattle conduct Stravinsky's Firebird, Petrushka and The Rite of Spring - from the Barbican Hall.
Simon Rattle achieves a long-held ambition to conduct the first three great Stravinsky ballet scores written for Diaghilev's Ballets Russes in a single evening. As he says: 'The LSO is a Stravinsky orchestra par excellence, ready to meet the challenge of performing these three great scores in the order they were written. I'm sure that we and the audience will learn a lot about Stravinsky in the process."
Martin Handley presents as part of 'Rattle on Radio 3, recorded at the Barbican Hall in September 2017.
