London Symphony Orchestra: Bartók and Stravinsky

Stravinsky's "Firebird" Performed by London Symphony Orchestra at Lincoln Center

Like Beyoncé's "Crazy in Love" or Lorde's "Royals," "The Firebird" was Stravinsky's debut musical work and an instant success. The composer was a virtual unknown when he was commissioned to compose the music for a ballet about a prince who saves a firebird in exchange for a favor to be named later. Experience the not-so-humble debut of a master when the London Symphony Orchestra performs Stravinsky's "Firebird" in its entirety at the Lincoln Center in New York. Also on the bill are Bartók's "The Miraculous Mandarin" and Piano Concerto No. 3.
