The Soldier's Tale

Album by Igor Fyodorovitch Stravinsky & James DePreist & Michele Mariana & Michael Mendelson & Third Angle New Music Ensemble

The Soldier's Tale is a theatrical work by Igor Stravinsky, composed and first performed in 1918. Musically it employs a small chamber ensemble and spoken narration, combining rhythmic, dance-derived motifs, modernist dissonance and folk and popular inflections to create a compact, theatre-oriented score that signalled Stravinsky's move towards more economical, neoclassical and theatrical writing following his earlier large-scale ballets.
First released: 17th June 1995
