The Firebird

Album by Igor Fyodorovitch Stravinsky & Wiener Philharmoniker & Christoph von Dohnányi

The Firebird is a ballet score by Russian composer Igor Stravinsky, composed and premiered in 1910. Musically it blends Russian folk-inspired motifs, vivid orchestral colour, adventurous harmonic language and driving rhythmic vitality, signalling a turning point that launched Stravinsky's early balletic period and had a lasting impact on 20th-century orchestral music.
