I do not know the work but I share your delight in the "discovery" Matt.ravel30 wrote:Wow! I have just made a discovery of a new work thanks to
The ballet Orpheus by Stravinsky. The performance from the box set is conducted by Stravinsky himself with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra.
I used to think that there wasn't much else to Stravinsky other than the main three ballets, his 3 "symphonies", pulcinella, and l'histoire d'un soldat. But now I realized how wrong I was. It is indeed a beautiful piece. I never thought that Stravinsky could compose such calm, relaxing and light music. So much to discover!!!

Interesting! I have a recording I really like with Haefliger singing,fergus wrote:On vinyl....
accompanied by Jörg Dähler on fortepiano. You can hear that he was quite old when he recorded it, but it's still wonderful!
