Composer's name is listed where notable (i.e. Classical Performance, Jazz Performance).
For more information on any of the rock, pop and Jazz music featured on this program, I frequently utilize AllMusic , an excellent free database holding a huge plethora of information about music and the artists that make it.
| Composer | Performer | Title | Genre | Label | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Igor Stravinski |
BBC National Orchestra of Wales, David Atherton, cond. |
Le Sacre du Printemps (The Rite of Spring) |
Classical, 20th Century, early avant guarde |
BBC, 1994 |
One of the more influential of 20th Century composers, we hear his landmark 1913 composition. This is actually the incidental music for a ballet by Sergei Diaghilev, and uses Russian folk themes so cleverly rearranged that it has taken a number of years for musicologists to determine the source material. |
