Production Changes

Previous details associated with this item and date of change.

Date of change: 13 May 16 - T0216583123

Prom 31 - Prokofiev, Tchaikovsky and Stravinsky

Work:: Prom 31 (S356)

Part of the BBC Proms.

Production:: Prokofiev, Tchaikovsky and Stravinsky (T0216583123)

The BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra and its Chief Conductor Designate Thomas Dausgaard round off this weekend's Stravinsky/Scottish series with the work that changed music for ever. In The Rite of Spring rhythm was shockingly prioritised over harmony - and pounding, jagged, brutal rhythm at that. One of The Rite's most impactful relatives is the Scythian Suite by Stravinsky's compatriot Prokofiev, a blazing orchestral canvas that forms the perfect foil to the heartfelt beauty of Tchaikovsky's charming First Piano Concerto, performed by Kirill Gerstein in a new critical edition which, he says, 'allows us to return to Tchaikovsky's original intentions'.
