Stravinsky: The Firebird & Rimsky-Korsakov: Le Coq d'Or
The sound-worlds of the two pieces are as strikingly similar as the stories which inspired them, with shimmering strings and glittering brass and high percussion conjuring an atmosphere of exoticism and enchantment, and Petrenko’s acute ear for balance ensures that every magical detail registers…The clean, spare textures reminded me more than ever of the kinship between The Firebird and Petrushka or even The Rake’s Progress.
