INTERVAL

'The Rite of Spring', Stravinsky
Performance NotesFeel the beat. From the primal, hypnotic dances of Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring to the sensual throb of Ravel’s Bole´ro and the edgy thrum and twitch of Vare`se’s Inte´grales, the BBC Symphony Orchestra and Eva Ollikainen get the musical pulse racing.

They’re joined by ‘stupendous’ German-Canadian cellist Johannes Moser for the UK premiere of Anna Thorvaldsdottir’s Before we fall – a work that teeters on the edge of ‘a multitude of opposites’, torn between lyricism and distorted energy.
