Igor Stravinsky
Pulcinella • The Fairy's Kiss
Album 2006 on Naxos label
Classical (Modern)
[notes from Back Tray:] "Stravinsky’s one-act ballet with song, Pulcinella, is no mere re-working of music by Pergolesi and other 18th-century Italian composers. Instead he uses the originals as a springboard for experimentation, transforming the music into a modern work by means of quirky instrumentation (for example, the jazzy glissandos of the double-bass solo), ostinato melodies, and other 20th-century devices. The ballet The Fairy’s Kiss, at another extreme, is a largely original composition. Stravinsky greatly altered, developed, and elaborated melodies from early piano pieces and songs by Tchaikovsky, expanding them into sizeable ballet numbers to form a continuous dance symphony." Recorded at Abbey Road Studio No. 1, London, England, from 3rd-5th and 8th January, 1995 (The Fairy's Kiss) and 31st January and 1st February, 1997 (Pulcinella) Booklet notes in English. Sung texts and English translations included. These recordings were previously released on Koch International Classics. ----------- Vol. 3 Robert Craft - Stravinsky: Le Baiser De La Fée; Orpheus
