Performing Rites: how Stravinsky’s Sacre du printemps still shocks

Mark Pullinger, 29th March

Over a century after its premiere, Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring still has the power to shock. Vasily Petrenko offers insights, while Tamara Rojo reflects on one of the most powerful choreographies, the version by Pina Bausch.

Angels, devils, rites and Python: the LA Phil in London

The LA Phil give us plenty of excitement in Stravinsky and Sousa and an orchestral surprise packet from Ginastera; Yuja Wang's superb pianism isn't enough to lift a disappointing Adams concerto.
