About

These two ballets reveal a specific facet of Stravinsky’s genius, his skill in pastiche.

Having used music from eighteenth-century Naples for Pulcinella, he turned to Tchaikovsky for Le Baiser de la fée.

On both occasions, he succeeded in transforming the exercise of homage into a highly personal work.

Stravinsky had a special artistic affinity with the Toronto Symphony Orchestra, which amply repays the debt with this new recording.
