Pulcinella, Parade, and The Three Cornered Hat

Ryan Bancroft and the 大象传媒 National Orchestra of Wales perform Stravinsky's Pulcinella and Ragtime, Eric Satie's Parade, and Manuel de Falla's The Three Cornered Hat

The 大象传媒 National Orchestra of Wales and principal conductor Ryan Bancroft mark 50 years since the death of the artist Pablo Picasso by performing 4 musical works on which he collaborated. The first half is dedicated to Igor Stravinsky's ballet Pulcinella 鈥� the first piece he wrote in his so-called neo-classical style, for which Picasso created the sets. Tonight we will hear the full ballet score, replete with singers, which Stravinsky wrote for Sergei Diaghilev and his 'Ballets Russes'. After the interval we will hear two further ballets that Diaghilev commissioned and on which Picasso collaborated; Eric Satie's surreal depiction of a troupe of entertainers inviting crowds to their show, and Manuel de Falla's story of a miller's feud with a magistrate in his wonderful The Three Cornered Hat. Between the two, we get a rare opportunity to hear Stravinsky's Ragtime, a short work which he composed in conjunction with a single line drawing that Picasso made of two musicians.

Presented by Ian Skelly, and recorded in December in 大象传媒 Hoddinott Hall in Cardiff.
