This concert explores Stravinsky’s fascination with classical mythology. Music of great subtlety and exquisite beauty, Apollon musagète and Orpheus sit alongside Stravinsky’s alluring melodrama based on the Homeric hymn to the goddess Persephone, retold in collaboration with the French novelist and poet André Gide, here narrated by Carole Bouquet.

This concert will be recorded by BBC Radio 3 and broadcast on 26 September 2016

This concert is part of the Stravinsky: Myths & Rituals series
