Mussorgsky Night on Bald Mountain
Dukas Sorcerer’s Apprentice
Stravinsky Petrushka (1947)
Mussorgsky’s Night on Bald Mountain and Paul Dukas’ Sorcerer’s Apprentice were both highlights of Walt Disney’s Fantasia, for their dramatic evocations of witches’ sabbaths and young wizards.
Stravinsky’s Petrushka depicts a street magician’s one true act of enchantment, when his human-sized puppets spring to life. Originally composed for the Ballets Russes, Petrushka wows audiences with its raucous orchestral timbres, vibrant instrumentation, and driving, irresistible rhythms.
Conductor André de Ridder appears with support from The Diessl Family
