Vasily Petrenko introduces us to the most beautiful pages of 20th-century Russian music. After "The Rite of Spring," Vasily Petrenko's award-winning team and the RLPO continue their exploration of Stravinsky's ballets with "The Firebird." As with their previous album, the pairing is fascinating. Stravinsky was the star pupil of Rimsky-Korsakov, from whom he drew much inspiration. The influence is clearly evident in the opulent and exciting score of "The Firebird." The other piece, the suite from Rimsky-Korsakov's "The Golden Cockerel," was arranged from the music of his 1909 opera and is based on Pushkin's story.
