Stravinsky - Funeral Song (Official Score Video)

B&H Study Score Video Series: Listen and follow along with the publisher’s score of Igor Stravinsky’s “Funeral Song.“ This long-lost score, composed in 1908 by the young composer as an orchestral memorial to his teacher Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, disappeared after just one performance in 1909. Rediscovered in 2015, the score was reconstructed from the complete set of parts by Dr. Natalia Braginskaya and the St Petersburg Conservatory in collaboration with Stravinsky’s publisher, Boosey & Hawkes. This score video -- featuring the world premiere recording by Riccardo Chailly and the Lucerne Festival Orchestra -- provides fascinating insight into the music of the young Stravinsky, before he found international success with his ballet The Firebird.
