BBC Proms Season 2021 Episode 12 - Sir Simon Rattle Conducts the London Symphony Orchestra

Airdate: 2021-Aug-22

Episode summary:

The London Symphony Orchestra and Sir Simon Rattle mark 2021's Stravinsky anniversary with a series of symphonic snapshots. We follow Stravinsky's view of the symphony from the experimental, colour-blocked ‘ritual' of the Symphonies of Wind Instruments, through the transitional Symphony in C – reflecting both the composer's European past and his American future – to arrive at the bold Symphony in Three Movements.
