BBC Proms - 2009 - Prom 20: Stravinsky, Schumann, Mendelsssohn - Part 1

From the Royal Albert Hall, London. Presented by Louise Fryer. The Scottish Chamber Orchestra continues the Proms Stravinsky ballet series with the complete choral version of Pulcinella, the zany Neapolitan comedy in which the composer's reworkings of rediscovered 18th-century scores (reputedly by Pergolesi) resulted in the creation of a whole new - and wholly modern - neo-Classical style. With young French-Canadian maestro Yannick Nézet-Séguin making his Proms debut as conductor. Stravinsky: Pulcinella Karen Cargill (mezzo-soprano) Scottish Chamber Orchestra Yannick Nézet-Séguin (conductor).
