Igor Stravinsky - Stravinsky Conducts Stravinsky The Firebird
Review by Subham Bapna
Igor Stravinsky's album, Stravinsky Conducts Stravinsky The Firebird, is a mesmerizing piece of classical music that showcases the composer's unparalleled talent and skill. Featuring the legendary Firebird suite, this album is a must-listen for anyone who appreciates the beauty and complexity of orchestral music.
The album is conducted by the composer himself, which adds an extra layer of authenticity and depth to the music. Stravinsky's interpretation of his own work is masterful, and he brings out the nuances and subtleties of each piece with precision and clarity.
One of the standout tracks on the album is the iconic "Infernal Dance," which is a frenzied and intense piece that captures the chaotic energy of the Firebird story. The orchestra's performance is flawless, and Stravinsky's direction makes every note and rhythm feel deliberate and purposeful.
