Work: Pulcinella

No 20th-century composer adapted his style as much as Igor Stravinsky. From his early ballets for Diaghilev’s Ballets Russes to his neoclassical phase and serialism, Stravinsky’s music underwent many transformations. 

“Pulcinella was my discovery of the past, the epiphany through which the whole of my late work became possible. It was a backward look of course – the first of many love-affairs in that direction – but it was a look in the mirror too.”

Tous les mois, le jeune violoniste Pierre Liscia-Beaurenaut nous fait découvrir l'envers du décor de la musique classique. Aujourd'hui, notre chroniqueur nous montre les coulisses d'une session d'orchestre.
