91福利社 Proms 2009:
A Prom featuring Ravel's La valse, a work begun as a homage to the Viennese waltz but which was twisted by the composer's wartime experiences into a darker vision of a society whirling to disaster.
It is followed by Stravinsky's seminal, riot-inducing ballet The Rite of Spring, and Unsuk Chin's new Cello Concerto, which was written specially for Alban Gerhardt, an early member of Radio 3's New Generation Artists scheme.
