Presented by Petroc Trelawny
Once upon a time...composers Ravel, Prokofiev and Tchaikovsky all set enchanting fairy-tale stories to music. Originally a set of piano pieces for children - Ravel's Mother Goose was re-worked as a ballet where we meet everyone from Sleeping Beauty and Tom Thumb through to Beauty and the Beast. Two Russian ballets complete the programme with Prokofiev's witty take on the Cinderella story followed by music from perhaps the most famous ballet of all - Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker where the magic happens around the Christmas Tree on Christmas Eve. The handsome young prince from a far off land - Vassily Petrenko - conducts. Recorded at the Liverpool Philharmonic Hall on Wednesday.
