Stravinsky’s ballet is based on the Greek myth of Persephone, whose life was divided between the underworld and the realm of light, to which she returned every year heralding the advent of spring. In his work “Madonna of Winter and Spring”, Jonathan Harvey combines traditional and electronic instruments to bestow inner variety on these opposing realms of sound.
