About
Even the most knowledgeable collectors of historical recordings may be surprised to learn that Igor Stravinsky made a recording in Mexico. In 1940, Stravinsky travelled to Mexico City at the invitation of Carlos Chávez, the well-known composer and conductor, to lead a programme of his own music. A recording session proved unsatisfactory due to background noises, so the following year Stravinsky returned to Mexico City to re-record his Divertimento from The Fairy’s Kiss, his ingenious reworking of Tchaikovsky music.
This original 78 set is the rarest of all of Stravinsky’s recordings, with only three surviving copies known. In our reissue it proves to have surprisingly fine sound and excellent playing from the Mexico City Symphony Orchestra.
Stravinsky’s debut recording of the “Dumbarton Oaks” Concerto was made for the small Keynote company, and was reissued on an early LP by Mercury. It has not been previously available on CD.
