The Soldier's Tale

Album by Igor Fyodorovitch Stravinsky & Aage Haugland & Royal Scottish National Orchestra & Neeme Järvi

The Soldier's Tale is a theatrical work composed by Russian composer Igor Stravinsky in 1918. Scored for a small ensemble with spoken narration, it blends folk motifs, march-like rhythms and ragtime-influenced harmonies within a modernist, pared-back idiom and marks a shift in Stravinsky's output toward more economical forces and theatrical, narrative projects in the post‑ballet phase of his career.
