Commissioned by impresario Sergei Diaghilev and first performed in Paris by his Ballets Russes, the ballet scores featured on this program by musical revolutionary Igor Stravinsky all draw from traditional Russian folk motifs, yet exhibit considerable stylistic development from the composer—from the lush musical sorcery found in The Firebird, to the exhilarating musical depiction of physical gestures in Pétrouchka, and the violent musical primitivism found in The Rite of Spring.
