YolanDa Brown talks to trumpeter Anne McAneney and cellist Francis Bucknall and explores Stravinsky’s Firebird.
The Firebird is a hugely popular work, but what makes it so enduring? Anne, Francis and YolanDa discuss its story, Stravinsky’s revolutionary writing, and how to keep the music sounding fresh on stage and in recordings. They also mention a number of related works and why Stravinsky’s music lends itself so well to education projects.
Plus, they reveal what changes when a piece is being recorded, and the extra layer of difficulty that comes with being filmed.
If you have any questions you’d like to put to the musicians, please email offstage@lpo.org.uk, and you might be featured in Series 7!
Produced by Tandem Productions for the London Philharmonic Orchestra.
