The Soldier's Tale

Album by Igor Fyodorovitch Stravinsky

The Soldier's Tale is a theatrical chamber work by Igor Fyodorovich Stravinsky, first performed in 1918. It combines lean, folk-influenced melodies, pronounced rhythmic drive and inventive chamber scoring for a small ensemble with a narrator, and represents a move toward more economical, theatre-focused and neoclassical approaches in Stravinsky's output after his earlier large-scale ballet works.
