Is the composer the best interpreter of his own work? You have the unique opportunity to find an answer to this question listening to The Symphony of Psalms and the suite from Firebird by Stravinsky performed by Symphonic Orchestra of the National Philharmonic and conducted by Stravinsky himself. The album is complemented by Variations performed by Robert Craft, American conductor, commentator, and – from 1948 on – Stravinsky’s collaborator. The recordings were made on 28 May, 1965.
