Igor STRAVINSKY (1882-1971) : The Firebird-Symphony in C-The Wedding-Histoire du Soldat

Stravinsky’s ongoing Russian inspiration, clad in the opulence of Rimsky-Korsakov’s orchestration in 1910 and then moving towards a more dodecaphonic writing (1966, Requiem Canticles), not forgetting the consumate Noces - ‘not a ballet but a divertissement…in two parts‘ (to quote the composer). A unique blend of earthy rusticity, profound humanity and religious faith.
