Masterworks: The Stravinsky Podcast Episode 3
IGOR STRAVINSKY AND THE ART OF THE MINIATURE (16’15): throughout his long career, Stravinsky wrote a surprising number of orchestral works that are typically impractical for “normal” concert programs. In this episode of Stravinsky at 1-2-5, independent producer Jackson Braider explores these overlooked gems from the composer’s catalog. John McClure discusses the problem of scheduling a four-minute work for full orchestra and chorus; Jared Bernstein of the Economic Policy Institute discusses the labor implications of writing short pieces for hordes of players; and John Heiss of New England Conservatory describes Stravinsky’s brush with the law when he brought a new arrangement of the “Star-Spangled Banner” to Boston.
