About This Item
Igor Stravinsky had a long and fruitful relationship with Columbia Masterworks, recording all of his works in stunning stereo sound throughout the '60s. However, his 1967 recording of the interludes and underscoring of the Soldier's Tale stayed in the vaults for 40 years, only now reissued and combined with his 1961 recording of the suite to form the only complete recording of the Soldier's Tale conducted by Stravinsky himself! Jeremy Irons lends new narration. Album Tracks 1. The Soldier's Tale (Histoire Du Soldat); Part 1. Introduction. the Soldier's March (Marche Du Soldat 2.
