BBC Philharmonic - Roman Holiday

It?s not all serioso though and the proof is in tonight?s sparkling opener: Rossini?s overture to The Thieving Magpie. There are more bubbles here than in a Bellini! To finish, Pulcinella?gives us Italy?s answer to Punch and Judy. Our finale brings together the medieval with another musical magpie, Igor Stravinsky. Ingenious and witty, these crystalline Baroque dances are one of the many gifts Stravinsky gave to the world of ballet.
