Stravinsky
In a concert from the Usher Hall, Edinburgh, Stephane Deneve conducts the Royal Scottish National Orchestra in Stravinsky's music for the ballet The Rite of Spring.
Live from Usher Hall, Edinburgh
In this, his penultimate concert as Artistic Director of the Royal Scottish National Orchestra, St茅phane Den猫ve plays French music that shocked the world. While Debussy's orientalism opened new possibilities of harmonic and melodic colour, Stravinsky music for the Rite of Spring ballet proved a revelation for the eye as well as the ear to Parisian audience and changed the course of musical history. The top Canadian violinist, hailed by some as a modern Heifetz plays Barber's meltingly beautiful concerto for violin by way of contrast.
