Description
Stravinsky's ballet score for The Firebird was a pivotal moment in his career, premiering in Paris in 1910. However, it wasn't until 1919 that a suitable concert suite was arranged for a normal-sized orchestra, with its premiere by Ernest Ansermet and the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande in April of that year. This score is now available in a newly engraved publication, offering a welcome addition to libraries of conductors, music students and fans of Stravinsky's music. Thoroughly researched and edited by Clark McAlister and Clinton F. Nieweg, this edition sets a new standard for accuracy. The score is a staple of the concert hall, and this publication is the first definitive version in nearly a century. It will be a valuable resource for those looking to perform or study Stravinsky's music. This score is a significant addition to the world of classical music, offering a unique insight into the composer's work.
