At the source of an idyllic past.
Originally conceived for the Ballets Russes, Pulcinella asserted itself in its definitive form as the very epitome of Stravinskyan neo-classicism. Perhaps 'neo-baroque' would be more accurate, since, inspired by the 18th century music (Pergolesi in particular), this apparently frivolous work concealed beneath the mask of the pastiche - not unlike Picasso's Arlequin - the beginning of a fundamentally new creative period. This was to reach its peak in the Dumbarton Oaks Concerto...
This title was released for the first time in1997.
