Schedules for 23 - 29 April, 2016

The Rite of Spring - The 100 Year Shock-Wave

Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring is still provocative and disturbing a century after its première caused one of the most sensational scandals in artistic history. In this anniversary documentary, the ballet's 100 year shock-wave is traced from its initial explosion on May 29th 1913 right up to the present time. First-hand recollections of the famous first night from Dame Marie Rambert, who was one of the dancers, and Igor Stravinsky, who was in the audience, lead through to comments on the work's enduring power from performers of recent times: dancers Dame Monica Mason and Deborah Bull, choreographer Jean-Christophe Maillot, and conductors Valery Gergiev, the late Sir Colin Davis, and Bernard Keeffe, as well as dance re-constructionist Millicent Hodson and musicologist and historian Geoffrey Norris. Narrated and produced by Jon Tolansky (RNZ/WFMT)

Eight programmes

This series guides listeners down an historical path, tracing the evolution of jazz from its beginnings up until the end of the 20th century. Music specialists discuss an era of their expertise and perform music from that decade. We learn about how jazz developed structurally and harmonically and find out about the stories and social context behind the music

(8) The 1990s and Beyond

Session host Mark Donlon looks at the decade which he describes as a period of fusion, hybrids and cultural collaborations. Jazz in Europe began to create a specific identity through labels such as ECM while in America jazz looked to the past through the likes of Wynton Marsalis (recorded in the Wellington Museum by RNZ)
