Apollon musagète / Pulcinella Suite

Album by Igor Fyodorovitch Stravinsky & Chamber Orchestra of Europe & Alexander Janiczek

Apollon musagète / Pulcinella Suite is an album of orchestral works by Igor Stravinsky, featuring pieces composed in 1928 and 1920 respectively. Both works illustrate Stravinsky's shift to neoclassicism, employing lean, classical-inspired forms, transparent orchestration and rhythmic clarity, and they mark an important phase in his post‑Rite of Spring career as he engaged with earlier musical models.
First released: 2009
