This concert in the Philharmonia's major Stravinsky series Myths and Rituals explores his fascination with classical mythology. Music of great subtlety and exquisite beauty, Apollon musagΓ¨te and Orpheus sit alongside Stravinsky's alluring melodrama based on the ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔric hymn to the goddess Persephone, retold in collaboration with the French novelist and poet AndrΓ© Gide, here narrated by Pauline Cheviller.
