Igor Stravinsky | The Firebird (Columbia Symphony Orchestra) | VINYL

Igor Stravinsky was a Russian-born composer whose rhythmic invention and radical orchestration transformed twentieth-century music. His work ranges from explosive modernist ballets to precise neoclassical and serial compositions.

The Firebird presents Stravinsky’s complete ballet in its original 1910 orchestration, performed by the Columbia Symphony Orchestra under the composer’s direction. The score moves from mysterious woodland textures to the Infernal Dance and its luminous final transformation.

Edition: 1LP. Label: Vinyl Passion Classical.
