The Soldier's Tale

Album by Igor Fyodorovitch Stravinsky & Charles-Ferdinand Ramuz & Christopher Lee & Scottish Chamber Orchestra & Lionel Friend

The Soldier's Tale is a theatrical work by Igor Stravinsky, composed in 1918. Scored for a compact ensemble with a narrator, it combines folkloric motifs, sharp rhythmic articulation and jazz-influenced harmonies within a concise theatrical form that marks a turning point between Stravinsky's earlier Russian period and his later modernist and neoclassical explorations.
