Details

Part of the BBC Proms. Our survey of Stravinsky's ballets ends with the dazzling set of 12 dances for 12 dancers that the septuagenarian composer based on material taken from a 17th-century dance manual but re-energised through his own unique 20th-century viewpoint. To conclude our series of Tchaikovsky's concertante works, Stephen Hough signs off his one-man piano marathon with the curiously neglected Concert Fantasia, while cellist Steven Isserlis returns (after making chamber music in Monday's PCM 6) to relish the 18th-century charms of the 'Rococo' Variations. And the BBC SO's Principal Guest Conductor, David Robertson, ends the concert with Tchaikovsky's Dantesque tale of forbidden love and eternal punishment. Approx finish time: 21:20. Broadcast at 19:30 on BBC Four and live on BBC Radio 3.
