Symphony in C / Symphony in Three Movements

Album by Igor Fyodorovitch Stravinsky & Orchestre de la Suisse Romande & Ernest Ansermet

Symphony in C and Symphony in Three Movements is a release compiling two orchestral works by Igor Stravinsky, composed in 1940 and 1945 respectively. The pair juxtaposes Stravinsky's neoclassical clarity and contrapuntal textures with a later move towards more percussive, rhythmically driven modernism, sharper dissonance and touches of jazz and wartime influence, marking a notable stylistic transition in his mid-career output.
First released: 2013
