Stravinsky The Firebird Complete Ballet

Seattle Symphony Schwarz Gerard

STRAVINSKY, I.: Firebird (The) / Fireworks (Seattle Symphony,\nSchwarz)

\n

The scintillating orchestral effects of Fireworks so impressed\nSergey Dyagilev that the impresario was prompted to commission a\nnew work from Stravinsky for his Ballet russes. Telling of Prince\nIvan’s fantastic adventures in the demonic Kastchei’s magic realm,\nThe Firebird is a virtuoso composition in every regard; its\ncolourful sonorities and dramatic impact brought Stravinsky instant\ncelebrity and led to his successful ballets Petrushka (Naxos\n8.571222) and The Rite of Spring (Naxos 8.571223). This recording\nhas been acclaimed as “polished and brilliant” (Gramophone).
