Notes

Igor Stravinsky: The Recorded Legacy is CBS Masterworks' massive box of 31 LPs, released in 1981 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Stravinsky's birth year 1882. The vast majority of Stravinsky's recordings were made for CBS Masterworks starting in 1957 -- when he was 75 years old -- and extending to 1967, when he made his last public appearances.

Igor Stravinsky: The Recorded Legacy includes, in one way or another, some 90 percent of the music Stravinsky is known to have composed. Save the inclusion of both The Firebird Ballet and its corresponding suite, alternate incarnations of works are not found here nor are several of Stravinsky's other piano pieces or the Three Pieces for String Quartet.

Apart from that, Igor Stravinsky: The Recorded Legacy runs the ‘Stravinskian’ gamut, from the opera The Rake's Progress in its entirety to Epitaphium, a late career tidbit lasting all of 70 seconds.

With 44 page, illustrated, presentation booklet on fine art paper.
