Petrushka / Pulcinella (Ballet Suite)

Album by Igor Fyodorovitch Stravinsky & Otto Klemperer

Petrushka / Pulcinella (Ballet Suite) is a release of two ballet suites by Igor Stravinsky, drawing on works composed in 1911 and 1920. The music moves from the vivid, rhythmically driven orchestral colour and folk‑inspired motifs of Petrushka to the neoclassical clarity and homage to earlier forms in Pulcinella, marking a notable shift in Stravinsky's compositional approach and his evolving role in early 20th‑century music.
First released: 23rd November 1999
