Le baiser de la fée (The Fairy’s Kiss), Apollo (Apollon musagète)

Album by Igor Fyodorovitch Stravinsky & Gennadi Nikolayevich Rozhdestvensky

Le baiser de la fée (The Fairy's Kiss) and Apollo (Apollon musagète) are ballets by Igor Stravinsky, composed and premiered in 1928. Both works exemplify Stravinsky's move into neoclassicism, featuring leaner textures, restrained orchestration and classical forms reworked with modern harmonic language and rhythmic vitality that mark a transitional phase in his career away from the earlier Russian-period style.
First released: 1997
