Children's fairy tales provide inspiration for two colorful and radiant suites by Ravel and Stravinsky. Violinist Bella Hristova performs one of the greatest and most popular of all Romantic concertos. Symphonic in scale, fantastical in concept, and mystical in nature, "The Poem of Ecstasy" fills the void for Scriabin between the constraints of traditional beliefs and the freedom of the spiritual realms.
