Pictures at an Exhibition

Dancing tunes and jumping rhythms abound in this afternoon’s programme. Stravinsky’s music to The Firebird glitters with magical colours describing the fairytale of the magic bird and the heroic prince; meanwhile Rachmaninov takes one of Paganini’s most famous tunes and transforms it in every way imaginable, through dazzling displays of pianistic virtuosity to Variation 18 that swells in the epitome of Romanticism. Ravel’s orchestration of Mussorgsky’s promenade through an art gallery, with its evocative descriptions of the paintings therein, completes the programme.
