Igor Stravinsky (1882-1971)
"The Soldier's Tale"

Members of the MDR Symphony Orchestra
Johannes Winkler - narrator

The Soldier's Tale places the classic Faustian bargain at its heart. Stravinsky lifts the story of temptation, adventure and moral trial from its original folk-tale source and transforms it into a philosophical stage work, weaving together jazz, ragtime and folk dance into a taut musical arc. The struggle between good and evil and the lure of power and money keep this piece as relevant as ever.
