Stravinsky - Scherzo à la Russe



The Scherzo à la Russe is a track on this CD. I bought it in 94 or 95. I immediately knew it was a great CD. It contains the ballet Agon and various smaller works by S. written in his American years, including the Circus Polka. The music is swift and full of energy (I think Stravinsky liked being an American.) The performances are very good - maybe the best these pieces have ever received. The CD has been discontinued, but I noticed there are a few on Amazon for about $5. It's well worth it.
