Igor Stravinsky: Undiscovered

Apple Music Classical

Game-changing ballet The Rite of Spring is often the first work that springs to mind when the name Igor Stravinsky is mentioned, but there’s so much more to the story. Stravinsky was a composer who always pushed himself to experiment, and his repertoire contains works in many different styles and languages. From the surprisingly “traditional” Symphony No. 1 to the “Chant funèbre” and sacred works influenced by the Russian Orthodox choral tradition, Stravinsky was a musical chameleon.
