This double album offers a testimony to Stravinsky’s overwhelming
musical heritage, covering all the phases of his creative life. Igor
Stravinsky (1882-1971) is twentieth-century music! More than any other
composer, he continued to develop his compositional style throughout his
seven-decade-spanning career, innovating and adopting all the most
important musical trends of his century. Historically, the musical
journey starts with one of the first recordings of the recently
rediscovered Funeral Song (1909), composed as a tribute to his teacher
Rimsky-Korsakov. The next phase in his development is represented with
the raw but tremendously refined Rite of Spring (1913), Stravinsky’s
most famous work that created a scandal at its Paris world premiere, and
immediately turned him into a star. His Neoclassical style is showcased
by Jeu de cartes (1937) and the Concerto in D (1947), whereas Agon
(1957) presents Stravinsky’s original take on Schoenberg’s serialism.This double album offers a testimony to Stravinsky’s overwhelming
