Musical Correspondents
The early careers of Stravinsky and Ernest Ansermet went more or less hand in hand. Ansermet was one of the first to recognise Stravinsky's maverick musical genius, and conducted more performances of his music than anyone else. The two men corresponded for over 50 years, and their friendship survived a quarrel in the late 1930s. The programme includes excerpts from works premiered by Ansermet, including: Mass Westminster Cathedral Choir, conductor James O'Donnell
Suite: The Firebird
LSO, conductor Claudio Abbado
