Label: Hyperion Catalog: CDA67698 Format: CD BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, Ilan Volkov: conductorIgor Stravinsky (1882–1971): Jeu de cartes - Ballet in three Deals / Agon - Ballet for twelve dancers / Orpheus - Ballet in three Scenes Stravinsky’s ballet music contains some of the composer’s most dazzling inspirations, and his work with Diaghilev’s Ballets Russes brought him to international attention before the first world war. But it was through his collaborations with Diaghilev’s protégé George Balanchine that Stravinsky evolved the individual ‘neoclassical’ style of his own that is arguably his greatest contribution to the musical language of the twentieth century.
