Let's spend some time in good company...

In my mixed bag today, a gem from Igor's music...

The "Soldier's Tale" is a 1918 theatrical work "to be read, played and danced"
[lu, joué et dansé] set to music by Igor Stravinsky.
L "Histoire du Soldat" was originally written for small ensemble to compensate
for the lack of players due to World War I.
The work was premiered in Lausanne on 28 September 1918, conducted by
Ernest Ansermet.
