The Firebird / Nocturnes
Album by Igor Fyodorovitch Stravinsky & Claude Debussy & Georgian SIMI Festival Orchestra & Jahni Mardjani
The Firebird / Nocturnes is an album of orchestral works by Igor Stravinsky that pairs a 1910 ballet score with a 1929 orchestral set. The pairing highlights a contrast between Stravinsky's early lush, folkloric orchestration and vivid orchestral colour and his later leaner textures and modernist harmonic language, reflecting his move from Russian ballet idioms toward a more economical, neoclassical approach in his mid-career output.
