Philharmonia play Stravinsky and Prokofiev

Santtu-Matias Rouvali conducts the Philharmonia in Stravinsky's ballet Petrushka and Prokofiev's Lieutenant Kije Suite. Esther Yoo plays Prokofiev's First Violin Concerto.

Santtu-Matias Rouvali conducts the Philharmonia in Stravinsky's ballet Petrushka, a tale of unrequited love featuring three puppets brought to life by the bewitching flute melody of the Magician. The Lieutenant Kije Suite, best known for its famous 鈥楾roika鈥�, depicting a winter sleigh ride, is taken from Prokofiev's first film score and manages to blend of humour, romance, pathos and satire into its brief span. Similarly, his Violin Concerto No 1 alternates between the sweetly lyrical and the breathtakingly virtuosic (especially in its playful central scherzo), performed here by the brilliant American violinist, Esther Yoo.

Recorded at the Royal Festival Hall, Southbank Centre, London, 21st May 2023.
