"Ballet by the Demon"..Has anyone heard this symphony?

I was driving on the interstate and happened to be listening to a classical music station. I heard a symphony that I really liked, and the radio station said it was called "Ballet of/by the demon" by Stephen. I didn't catch his last name.

A bit of a long shot, but might the announcer not have said *from* 'The Demon'? In that case, it's probably the ballet music from Anton Rubinstein's opera "The Demon" you heard, which, since the more recent recordings from Naxos and others, has been getting more air time now, than in the preceding century (and more) of its existence, put together.



Here's a few recordings for you of the whole opera:

and of just the ballet music:

These include samples for you to 'taste'... %26lt;s%26gt;



Where "Stephen..." might come into it, I have no idea... :-))
