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.

A new season for the CBSO begins with Andris Nelsons and Anne-Sophie Mutter

Katherine Dixson, 21st September

It may have been the autumn equinox, but this evening spring came to a balmy Birmingham, meteorologically and musically. Symphony Hall was abuzz in anticipation of Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring in the piece’s centenary year, but the concert – and the 2013/14 season – was launched with Wagner’s Tannhäuser overture.
