As we approach the end of an unprecedented season, it’s time, once again, to light up the sky. Ravel imagines daylight breaking across a landscape in paradise; you can hear every glint of dew. Britten conjures a fairytale Orient. And Oliver Knussen took a scrap of Stravinsky, packed it with magic and detonated it high in the night sky. But they all knew how to flood the ears with living colour, and today Edward Gardner is joined by two outstanding British stars to celebrate the memory of one of our most lovable (and brilliant) modern composers the way he would have wanted: with simply glorious sounds.
