Stravinsky: The Firebird
Berlin Philharmonic
Sir Simon Rattle (conductor)
In the first of their two 大象传媒 Proms this year, Sir Simon Rattle and his Berlin Philharmonic don their dancing shoes and whisk us off to Russia. Via America, in the case of Rachmaninov's Symphonic Dances: composed on Long Island for the Philadelphia Orchestra, they blend the balletic traditions of the exile Rachmaninov's Russian homeland with jazz influences from his adopted home, the United States. After the interval, there's authentic Russian ballet and fairytale in Stravinsky's breakthrough work about the magical Firebird.
