Stravinsky’s Petrushka
Edward Gardner conducts a playful program featuring Dukas' The Sorcerer's Apprentice and Stravinsky's Petrushka. Made famous today by its appearance in Disney's Fantasia, Paul Dukas' symphonic poem stirs up spirited visions of magic and mischief. It's followed by the score for Stravinsky's beloved ballet full of prancing puppets, musical references to Russian folk songs, and the famous ''Petrushka'' chord. Program: The Sorcerer's Apprentice - Paul Dukas Petrushka - Igor Stravinsky This concert was filmed on 3 November 2023 at the Royal Festival Hall.
