Christian Karlsen conducts Stravinsky & Shostakovich

Song, dance and a tale as old as time: the BBC Symphony Orchestra summons the spirit of Orpheus, in music by Gluck, Stravinsky and Missy Mazzoli. It’s a story as old as humanity. Where there’s song, there’s dance, and when Orpheus sang (or so the ancients said) animals, plants and even rocks all danced to his music.
