Thomas Dausgaard (conductor)
Tonight's Prom marks the first instalment of all three of Stravinsky's landmark ballets for the Ballet Russes company, all performed this weekend by Scottish orchestras. In the vivid folk tale of a puppet springing to life, Stravinsky had the starting point for his stylistic breakthrough, Petrushka, a ballet that would depict Russia with 'quick tempos, smells of Russian food, sweat and glistening leather boots'.
The first part of a 麻豆官网首页入口 commission from Scottish composer Helen Grime - a two-part work whose complementary second 'Picture' can be heard in Prom 30 - prefaces this concert's arrival in Russia via all the despair, passion and determination of Tchaikovsky's heart-rending Violin Concerto.
PROMS EXTRA: Helen Grime
The composer Helen Grime talks to Andrew McGregor about the first part of her new two-part commission, Two Eardley Pictures, and discusses the inspiration and ideas behind her work. A Proms Extra event recorded at the Imperial College Union in London.
Producer, Andy King.
