BBC Proms

Season 68 Episode 64: Prom 64: Sir Simon Rattle and the Berliner Philharmoniker

Last at the Proms in 2012, Sir Simon Rattle and the Berliner Philharmoniker return for an all-Russian programme inspired by dance. Rachmaninov’s Symphonic Dances embraces jazz, plainchant and the waltz in a virtuosic orchestral showpiece. After the interval we enter the Russian fairy-tale world of Stravinsky’s magical The Firebird, in this vivid, folk-infused ballet score.
