Discover Igor Stravinsky in neoclassical mode when Richard Gill unpacks the music he was writing in 1920s and 1930s Paris.
Stravinsky thought his Symphony in C was “unmysterious and so easy to hear on every level” – this is his nod to Haydn and Beethoven. But the ballet Pulcinella is where neoclassicism began: recomposing music by Pergolesi and others to show the 18th century as viewed through modern eyes. Following the success of his Morgentanz in 2008, Andrew Howes returns to the Discovery Program with music for the voice.
