4. If you've heard Temirkanov's Leningrad Philharmonic recording of Petrushka, you know he is a superb Stravinsky conductor. I have the feeling that whenever he conducts the Royal Philharmonic, they sound like the greatest orchestra in the world. In the Firebird Suite, the quiet moments and attention to detail are simply breathtaking/5(2).

9. Stravinsky is probably the most important composer between Debussy and Cage - and he overlaps at both ends. A very recognizable composer in any of his three stylistic periods, Stravinsky's music expresses the excitement of early modernism which turns into a melancholy nostalgia as he tries to understand the extreme modernism of post-war Europe/5().
