Stravinsky: The Rite of Spring
Les Si猫cles
Fran莽ois-Xavier Roth (conductor)
An evening of riot and revolution in dance music from the court of Louis XIV to the Ballets Russes. Francois-Xavier Roth directs Les Si猫cles in the first period-instrument performance at the Proms of Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring, marking the work's centenary. Scenes from ballets by Lully, Rameau, Delibes and Massenet provide more than two centuries of historical context for the work that scandalised musical Paris at its premiere in 1913.
An edited version of this Prom will be broadcast on Wednesday 17th July at 2pm.
