John Mallinson Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Wonderful-sounding concert on Sunday at the Festival Hall with Esa-Pekka Salonen conducting the Philharmonia in a Stravinsky programme. Comprises Symphonies of Wind Instruments, Agon (choreographed by Karole Armitage), The Rite of Spring. Methinks it shouldn't be missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Now you mention it, John, Karole Armitage's name was mentioned on Radio 3's In Tune yesterday. I think she may be appearing on today's programme, in which case it will be sometime between 4.30 and 6.30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alison Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 I think it's this coming Thursday's Prom which features the whole of Act I of The Nutcracker. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trog Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 If you can see 4 Girls 4 Harps on tour, they are featuring their new CD Dance, which includes March of the Montagues and Capulets from Romeo and Juliet and the Grand Waltz from Cinderella by Prokofiev. They are very good live and their name tells you all you need to know about the music. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alison Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 I forgot about this thread until it was too late to notify you about last Saturday's "Romeo & Juliet" Prom (although it'll be on BBC iPlayer - BBC4 - for a few more weeks yet), but excerpts from Swan Lake appear in next Monday's Prom, 5th August (and also in the Relaxed Prom the next morning). There are, of course, a few more balletic bits and bobs throughout the season, but I think this is probably the only one of significant length.

Bravissima35 Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 The NYO at The Proms played a selection from Prokofiev’s Romeo and Juliet which was played marvellously! They even had Gary Avis talking to the musicians in a rehearsal and showing them a sword fight while they were playing. It is still on iPlayer and would recommend watching it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shade Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 That was a great prom really enjoyed it and lovely to see Gary Avis. He was so natural on camera- the Royal Ballet should use him for their cinema broadcasts - when he is not performing of course! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clashes with Francesca Hayward at the Ballet Association ... I caught this concert on the repeat on Radio 3 this afternoon: it had what sounded like an interesting interval discussion on Stravinsky's ballet music - not sure who with, as I came in part-way through, and the contributors weren't credited at the end. It's presumably available on BBC iPlayer Sounds for a while yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 This just in from the London Philharmonic Orchestra: "On 2 June, Vladimir Jurowski conducts a full-length concert performance of Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake in his final Royal Festival Hall concert as Principal Conductor. Considered the greatest Russian ballet score ever written*, Jurowski gives a typically enlightening performance of Tchaikovsky’s 1877 original version – a must for any balletomanes. Read this Times Article to find out more about Vladimir's swansong after 14 years with the Orchestra." It's available free to view on Marquee TV for 7 days thereafter: https://tickets.lpo.org.uk/events/1619776950 * Highly debatable, I'd have thought.
