Product Description
The nightingale and other fables - Igor Stravinsky
CD 1:
I. Short pieces
II. the Fox
====================
CD 2:
III. the Nightingale
The celebrated director Robert Lepage has combined several short pieces by Stravinsky to create a fascinating production: the orchestra pit becomes a pond, the Hague Philharmonic Orchestra takes its place on the stage! As a composer the young Stravinsky was strongly influenced by Nikolay Rimsky-Korsakov. In these early works this influence is clearly reflected in their strong affinity with folk music and fairytales. In the Nightingale and Other Fables animal fables, staged with the use of puppets and shadow theatre, portray a fantasy world that can effortlessly be applied to humankind. In the Fox the fox ultimately falls victim to its own vanity and lust for power. The Nightingale is based on a fairytale by Hans Christian Andersen. As a fable, this short opera emphasises the message that there is no substitute for true art and that its effect should not be underestimated – a moral that has lost none of its significance to this day.

We sell only opera recordings. The recordings are sent to you in paper sleeves with no tray card or inserts, just the raw discs with printed labels. These recordings are of nonprofessional quality that are in the public domain. The quality of these old opera recordings is not very good and they are meant for collectors and educational purposes only. Most of them are 30 or 40 years old, so they might be blurry, colors faded, and not sound very good, but they might not be available elsewhere. Please note that most of our recordings do not have tracks, they have 1 long track per disc.
