NotesOn the face of it one would have thought that there was little in common between Igor Stravinsky (1882-1971) and Benjamin Britten (1913-1976), two interesting facts prove otherwise. The box of Stravinsky contains works from all parts of his musical life including six ballets; three major ones from his youth - The Firebird, showing the inspired palette for exotic color learnt from his teacher, Rimsky-Korsakov, Petrushka (in it's revised version of 1947) and The Rite of Spring; two in his Neo-Classical style - Apollo and Pulcinella and extracts from Agon which shows the influence of his studies of serial technique as expounded by Anton Webern. There are also a number of his works that were inspired by Jazz. The box of Britten contains besides the three great song cycles (Les Illuminations, Serenade for Tenor, Horn & Strings and Nocturne) the "War Requiem", "Sinfonia da Requiem", the ever popular "Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra" and the most remarkable set of songs written in French when he was 15, "Quatre Chansons Françaises".
