Post-Romantic dazzle in The Firebird (1910), neo-classical elegance in Apollon musag�te (1928): Igor Stravinsky is revealed here in all his diverse genius. Between the shimmering world of Russian folk traditions and the Apollonian cosmos of Greek mythology, he creates two radically different and protean musical universes. For their second recording with harmonia mundi, Gustavo Gimeno and the Orchestre Philharmonique du Luxembourg reveal the splendors of these two major ballets of the early twentieth century.
