IT TAKES IT'S PLACE IN A LINEAGE STRETCHING FROM GLINKA TO SCRIABIN, MAKING IT AN AMALGAM OF RUSSIAN MUSIC PAST AND PRESENT. IT'S FIRST PERFORMANCE, AT THE PARIS OPERA IN 1910, WAS A PHENOMENAL SUCCESS AND ASSURED STRAVINSKY'S FUTURE AS A COMPOSER. THIS TRANSCRIPTION FOR SOLO PIANO IS STRAVINSKY'S OWN, ALSO DATING FROM 1910" "IDIL BIRET" (PIANO) "INTRODUCTION""THE ENCHANTED GARDEN OF KASTCHEI""APPEARANCE OF THE FIREBIRD, PURSUED BY PRINCE IVAN""DANCE OF THE FIREBIRD""CAPTURE OF THE FIREBIRD BY PRINCE IVAN""SUPPLICATION OF THE FIREBIRD""APPERANCE OF THE THIRTEEN ENCHANTED PRINCESSES""THE PRINCESSES GAME WITH THE GOLDEN APPLES""SUDDEN APPEARANCE OF PRINCE IVAN""KHOROVOD (ROUND DANCE) OF THE PRINCESSES""DAYBREAK - PRINCE IVAN ENTERS KASTCHEI'S PALACE""MAGIC CARILLON - APPEARANCE OF KASTCHEI'S MONSTER GUARDIANS - CAPTURE OF PRINCE IVAN""ARRIVAL OF KASTCHEI THE IMMORTAL - DIALOGUE OF KASTCHEI AND PRINCE IVAN - INTERCESSION OF THE PRINCESSES""APPEARANCE OF THE FIREBIRD""DANCE OF KASTCHEI'S RETINUE, ENCHANTED BY THE FIREBIRD""INFERNAL DANCE OF ALL KASTCHEI'S SUBJECTS""LULLABY (THE FIREBIRD)""KASTCHEI'S DEATH""DISAPPEARANCE OF THE KASTCHEI'S PALACE AND MAGICAL CREATIONS - RETURN TO LIFE OF THE PETRIFIED KNIGHTS - GENERAL REJOICING" NAXOS RECORDS / 8.555999 / HNH INTERNATIONAL LC 05537 / MADE IN CANADA
