Luigi Palombi - Igor Stravinsky: Piano Conversations

Writing for the piano was the focal point of Stravinsky�s composing activity, despite the small number of works he wrote explicitly for the instrument. This programme testifies to this by creating a dialogue both between the pieces themselves, and the interpreter�s conversation with the composer through his music. Russian soul meets the jazzy bustle of Paris and New York, neo-Classical and Baroque reminiscence converses with the rhythmic and harmonic spice of Stravinsky�s modernity, and the poised antiquity of Apollon musag�te encounters Le Sacre du Printemps.
