Live from Wigmore Hall, Ilya Gringolts plays some of Stravinsky's most tuneful and attractive works for violin, re-cycled from some of his older ballet scores.

Apart from the numbers from The Firebird, Stravinsky's earliest major success, the rest of the music in today's programme was itself arranged from other composers. The Suite after themes, fragments, and pieces by Giambattista Pergolesi began life as Pulcinella, re-workings of mainly 18th-century Italian music, and The Fairy's Kiss was an affectionate tribute to Tchaikovsky whose music struck such a resonant chord with Stravinsky.

Introduced by Fiona Talkington.
