RUSSIAN BALLETS

Milano / Tuesday 4 September 2018

Royal Philharmonic Orchestra (c) Chris Christodoulou

Tchaikovsky recalled his famed ballets even when he composed for violin and orchestra. Stravinsky stepped onto the world stage with a masterpiece whose focus was dance. And Victoria Borisova-Ollas dances her way to Schumann, making the most of today’s palette of tone-colors. Three generations of Russian composers come together for a festive evening indeed.
