Paris, 1913: and Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring changes the course of modern music. It wasn’t just that a riot broke out at the premiere, either – the rhythmic power and primal energy of Stravinsky’s volcanic score are so explosive that over a century later, we’re still reeling from the aftershock. But then, things do tend to catch fire when Principal Guest Conductor Karina Canellakis conducts the LPO. Expect grand passions in Lili Boulanger’s sensuous Faust et Hélène, written the same year as The Rite of Spring, and sparkling vitality in her D’un matin de printemps.
