Stravinsky: The Rite of Spring

Ryan Wigglesworth (conductor, piano)
大象传媒 Scottish Symphony Orchestra

The 大象传媒 Scottish Symphony Orchestra's chief conductor explores the intertwined synergies of music by composers separated by 200 years: J. S. Bach and Igor Stravinsky. In the first half we'll hear Stravinsky's elegantly esoteric take on classical models in his ballet score Agon alongside Bach's crisp, clean Keyboard Concerto No. 2, directed from the piano by Ryan Wigglesworth. And in the second half we'll hear more Stravinsky: the heart-stopping, epoch-changing ballet score, The Rite of Spring.
