Stravinsky: Pétrouchka

Album by Igor Fyodorovitch Stravinsky & Pierre Monteux & Boston Symphony Orchestra

Pétrouchka is a ballet score by Russian composer Igor Stravinsky, composed between 1911 and 1913. The work blends late Romantic orchestration with modernist rhythms and dissonances, incorporates folk-like melodic elements and innovative orchestral colour, and marks a key early-career move for Stravinsky toward the rhythmic and harmonic experimentation that would characterise his subsequent output.
