The Firebird

Johannes Brahms: Piano Concerto No. 1 in d minor, Op. 15 Arvo Pärt: Symphony No. 1 "Polyphonic" Igor Stravinsky: Suite from The Firebird (1919 revision) Mao Fujita, piano Eva Ollikainen, conductor Stravinsky's dazzling ballet score brings mythical Russian folklore to vivid life, featuring the iconic Firebird and evil sorcerer Kashchei. Pärt's early symphony showcases his neoclassical style before his later minimalist "tintinnabuli" period. Brahms' first piano concerto is a monumental work requiring both power and lyricism.
