Petrushka / Jeu de cartes

Album by Igor Fyodorovitch Stravinsky & Orchestra of the Mariinsky Theatre & Valery Gergiev

Petrushka / Jeu de cartes is a compilation of two ballets by Russian composer Igor Stravinsky, dating from 1911 and 1936. Musically, the pieces contrast Stravinsky's early folkloric, rhythmically driven orchestration with his later neoclassical clarity and wit, illustrating a shift in his compositional style and occupying important positions in 20th-century ballet and orchestral repertoire.
First released: 19th October 2018
