This disc ushers in the 60th anniversary of the Stuttgarter Kammerorchester, whose long and distinguished history includes a 16 year association (so far) with conductor Dennis Russell Davies. Under Davies' inspired direction, the orchestra looks at Stravinsky's orchestral music and its range of influences, from Gesualdo to Webern and shows how the great Russian composer was truly ahead of his time, anticipating the "polystylism" of contemporary music.
Featured compositions, presented in approximate reverse chronology, are the “Momentum pro Gesualdo di Venosa ad CD annum” (1960), the “Danses Concertantes” for chamber orchestra (1942), the Concerto in D for string orchestra (1946), and the ballet music “Apollon Musagète” (1927), created for his collaboration with choreographer Georges Ballanchine.
