About

Igor Stravinsky is revealed here in all his diverse genius. Between the shimmering world of Russian folk traditions and the Apollonian cosmos of Greek mythology, he creates two radically different and protean musical universes.

For their second recording with harmonia mundi, Gustavo Gimeno and the Orchestre Philharmonique du Luxembourg reveal the splendours of these two major ballets of the early Twentieth Century.

3 out of 5 stars

Awards Issue 2022

This is a Gallic Firebird at the opposite pole from, say, Valery Gergiev’s...little preoccupied with romanticism, plot development or Russianness yet full of detail you may not have noticed before.
