Stravinsky conducts Stravinsky 1962 Vinyl
Two of my Favorites !
Nobody knows how
music is supposed to sound
except yourself.
He certainly could conduct himself
I remember
my Great Uncle Zellmo
Told me He sailed on the Queen Mary
with Stravinsky
Igor Stravinsky was an amazing composer and conductor....my mother was a classical pianist and remember her playing this on our Hi-fi when I was a kid.
This album cover for Petrushka was taken from a painting by Alexander Benois. He collaborated with Stravinsky on parts of the ballet. An online look at 'Petrushka Art' has a variety of his work.
Reading through the story of Petrushka I couldn't find a part that said "and then the really freaky cats(?) flew through the night sky..........". The Benois work was used on the set as act curtains. Seems to me Petrushka is fairly freaky overall!
