The Soldier’s Tale
Album by Igor Fyodorovitch Stravinsky & Hallé Orchestra & Sir Mark Elder
The Soldier's Tale is a 1918 theatrical work by Russian composer Igor Stravinsky. Scored for a small chamber ensemble with a narrator and dancers, its music mixes lean, percussive textures, syncopated rhythms and elements drawn from Russian folk music, tango and ragtime, marking a stylistic shift from Stravinsky's earlier large-scale ballets toward more economical, theatre-oriented forms during the First World War.

First released: 3rd February 2023
