  40 programmes from the world's greatest classical music festival

  (33) Berlin Phil/Simon Rattle

  One of the world's most remarkable musical partnerships offers a programme of wide-ranging sonic adventure. Three gripping approaches to experiencing calm feature in the first half, from Ligeti's slowly shifting sound-clouds through Wagner's sustained stillness to Sibelius's most formidable and bleak evocation of a frozen landscape. The Gallic second half is all about movement and dance. Tennis is not the only game played in Debussy's flirtatious ballet for Diaghilev's Ballets Russes, while Ravel's suite, drawn from an earlier commission for the same company, begins with a sunrise and ends in an orgy.

  LIGETI: Atmosphères; WAGNER: Lohengrin, Prelude to Act 1; SIBELIUS: Symphony No 4 in A minor Op 63; DEBUSSY: Jeux; RAVEL: Daphnis & Chloé, Suite No 2 (recorded in the Royal Albert Hall, London by BBC) (Programme 34 Monday at 10.00am)
