Performed by the world-renowned Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Peter Breiner, and recorded at BBC Television Centre, London, 'Petrushka' by Igor Stravinsky is available to watch On Demand.

His second complete score for the Ballets Russes which followed the success of The Firebird, 'Petrushka' premiered at the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris in 1911.  His initial idea was for a concert piece for piano representing ‘a puppet suddenly endowed with life, exasperating the patience of the orchestra with diabolical cascades of arpeggios’.
