From the Royal Albert Hall, London.
Musical storytelling through fairy tales, letters and pictures. Two of Ravel's most enduring works, including his orchestration of Mussorgsky's ever-popular pianistic gallery, frame the young Stravinsky's fantastical scherzo and Dutilleux's sumptuous song cycle. Barbara Hannigan's soprano soars over haunting harmonies.
Presented by Paul Guinery.
