Made famous by Disney’s film Fantasia, Paul Dukas's Sorcerer’s Apprentice tells the story of a broom that magically comes to life and causes chaos in the sorcerer’s workshop.

Then Edvard Grieg’s Piano Concerto, a dazzling Norwegian enchantment that was the only concerto Grieg completed in his lifetime, played here by the pianist Zee Zee.

And Rimsky-Korsakov’s Scheherazade, inspired by a collection of Middle Eastern folk tales known as One Thousand and One Nights. The music’s savage beauty tells the story of a woman whose life is in the hands of her husband, the murderous Sultan.
