Stravinsky: Symphonies; Divertimento Bbc Philharmonic

The Symphony in C was conceived in Paris in the late 1930s, but completed in America in 1940. Commissioned by the New York Philharmonic and premièred in 1946, the Symphony in Three Movements presents us with movements that also manifest different ways of moving: a march, a slow dance, and a march-jog-race.
