Composer of the Week

Igor Stravinsky (1882 - 1971)

Switzerland

After the events of the October Revolution, Igor Stravinsky led a nomadic existence moving from place to place in Europe. In 1915 he decided to settle in Morges, a small town on the shores of Lake Geneva and establish a more permanent base for his family. In addition to the Ballets Russes, Stravinsky forged a new circle of friends in Switzerland with whom he could collaborate.

BBC Proms 2006

Prom 21 - The Voice II

Another chance to hear Saturday evening's Prom celebrating the human voice, opening with Wagner's tribute to a medieval guild of Mastersingers. Protest and the right to protest are the subjects for Michael Henry's Stand which contrasts with Barber's idyllic memory of an American childhood. A second realisation of Gough's piece for amateur choirs and rabble is followed by Prokofiev's patriotic cantata with its chillingly pictorial Battle on the Ice.

Presented by Petroc Trelawny.

Prom 26 part 2

The Proms and Elgar's famous Pomp and Circumstance March No 1 are forever linked. But could this be the night when a new Pomp and Circumstance is hummed on the way home from the hall? Following his extraordinary success with Elgar's 3rd Symphony, Anthony Payne has realised the composer's sketches for a sixth March.

Also, two stunningly virtuosic Russians team up for Shostakovich's capricious First Piano Concerto.

Presented by Martin Handley live from the Royal Albert Hall, London.
