I. Stravinsky: "Movements" for piano and orchestra

Igor Strawinsky (1882 - 1971)
"Movements" (1958/59)
for piano and orchestra
Igor Stravinsky’s “Movements” for piano and orchestra - performed here with pianist Tamara Stefanovich, who is as spirited as she is experimental - is not a classical solo concerto either. The uncompromisingly short work is by far the most radical from his late creative phase: compact, “antitonal”, often intimate in chamber music terms, and with a piano part that shrugs off all clichés of virtuosity.
