From the Royal Albert Hall, presented by Petroc Trelawny.
Another chance to hear an exotic score by Stravinsky that highlights this season's fairytale theme. It contrasts with Ravel's bittersweet homage to a vanished world. Also James MacMillan conducts his new organ concerto, a riotous piece that transforms the Royal Albert Hall's recently refurbished organ to produce a cacophony of animal sounds.
