Stravinsky: The Firebird
Sticky Notes: The Classical Music Podcast - En podkast av Joshua Weilerstein - Torsdager
This week on Sticky Notes we take a deep dive into Stravinsky's breakthrough ballet, the Firebird! We'll explore the original ballet, all three of the Suites from the ballet, and the fantastical myth behind the story of the ballet, featuring a character I like to call the Russian Voldemort and the Firebird herself. This is one of the greatest pieces of the 20th century, so let's explore it together! Thanks for listening!
