Ravel's Boléro, a ballet with 'no music', takes to the stage

In 1984, a truncated version of Maurice Ravel's orchestral piece Boléro was used to accompany a routine by British ice-dancers Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean at the Sarajevo Winter Olympics. The pair won gold and Boléro went global, its seductive rhythms mesmerising a whole new generation of listeners. Four decades later, Boléro remains one of the most instantly recognisable pieces of classical music, the work’s ‘crossover’ popularity entirely undiminished.

Richard Morrison There's much that Europe and UK festivals can learn from each other

There’s a mischievous joke running through Harold Evans's scathing account of the British newspaper industry in the 1970s and ’80s, Good Times, Bad Times. As editor of The Times, he constantly tries to make contact with the paper's arts editor. Each time he attempts to set up a meeting he’s told that this elusive figure is ‘reviewing music festivals’ and in transit somewhere between Bayreuth and Verbier, or maybe Salzburg and Aix-en-Provence. In the end, Evans himself leaves the paper, still never having met his arts editor.
