Roth conducts Petrushka

Francois-Xavier Roth conducts Stravinsky's dazzling ballet Petrushka, and Magdalena Kozena, accompanied on the piano by Sir Simon Rattle, sings Stravinsky and Richard Strauss.

Francois-Xavier Roth conducts Stravinsky's dazzling ballet Petrushka, and there's smaller-scale music from mezzo Magdalena Kozena and pianist Simon Rattle.

Presented by Ian Skelly

In the first of a week of programmes celebrating the orchestras of Berlin, Francois-Xavier Roth leads the Berlin Radio Symphony Orchestra in the second of Igor Stravinsky's three great ballets for Diaghilev. Originally written for the 1911 Paris season of the Ballets Russes, it tells of a doomed love triangle between three showground puppets brought mysteriously to life.

Simon Rattle swaps podium for piano stool and, with a group of musician friends, joins his wife mezzo Magdalena Kozena in chamber music and song. He also conducts a rare performance of Roberto Gerhard's exquisite ballet Don Quixote.
