Performance on 3 - Edinburgh International Festival 2010 - EIF: Royal Concertgebouw, Jansons

Presented by Petroc Trelawny The Concertgebouw, conducted by Mariss Jansons, at the Edinburgh Festival. Dedicated to the memory of Claude Debussy, Stravinsky's single movement Symphonies of Wind Instruments draws on Russian folk elements. Folksong lies at the heart of Bartok's Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta too, though the work has made its way into the popular psyche after featuring in the films Being John Malkovich and The Shining. 4 Dadicaces is an umbrella title that Pierre Boulez gave to four of Berio's magical miniatures that were grouped together in the late 1980s. The Firebird is possibly Stravinsky's best known work, the suite from it is performed here in the arrangement that Stravinsky made in 1945.
