This disc features the Saulnier-Dyachkov duo in a program of captivating songs and dances from the ballets and operas of Prokofiev and Stravinsky, whose timeless character–or as Nietzsche might have put it, "untimely" character–allowed them to survive a period of great aesthetic and socio-political upheaval and immense ideological conflict.
Igor Stravinsky (1882-1971) and Sergei Prokofiev (1891-1953) were incontestably the two dominant Russian composers of the early 20th century. Stravinsky was ten years older than Prokofiev, but both made their breakthroughs at the same time, in 1910.
Still an unknown in his late twenties, Stravinsky became an instant star with The Firebird, a score written for a choreography based on an original idea by Sergeï Diaghilev, director of the brand new Ballets Russes. Diaghilev wanted to transform this figure from his native country's folklore into a symbol of the unflinchingly modern renewal he intended to breathe into dance. Debussy, Ravel, de Falla, Satie and several other composers were in the audience the night of the work's premiere in Paris. After the curtain fell, they all rushed up to Stravinsky to offer their congratulations. With Petrushka in 1911, and especially The Rite of Spring in 1913–which created a scandal with its precedence of rhythm over melody–Stravinsky quickly became one of the leading lights of avant-garde music.
