Petrushka / La Boîte à Joujoux

Album by Igor Fyodorovitch Stravinsky & Claude Debussy & Seattle Symphony & Ludovic Morlot

Petrushka / La Boîte à Joujoux is an album of ballet music by Igor Stravinsky, featuring works composed in 1911 and 1913. Petrushka is characterised by vivid orchestration, energetic rhythms and bold harmonic clashes drawn from folk material, while La Boîte à Joujoux employs toy-like, more diatonic themes and clearer textures that point towards Stravinsky's later neoclassical phase and mark a transitional moment in his output.
