This disc is entitled ‘Miniature Masterpieces’. Here I would single out the Copland-indebted Greeting Prelude, the softly chanting Andante from Suite No. 1 and the gawky music-box Valse of the Second Suite. The bright and eager Dumbarton Oaks is followed by Norwegian Moods, which in the second movement Song sounds nothing like Stravinsky instead inhabiting a world of lyrical Grieg-like contentment. The Circus Polka has Stravinsky back to his normal self. It is 'Composed for a young elephant'! The tragic Cantique from Four Etudes is followed by the Iberian-accented Madrid - another suitably disorientating quiz for the general listener.

Thanks! The original LP which included most of this disc (minus the 4 Norwegian Moods) is one of my favorites of Stravinsky conducting his own works, and one that I enjoyed playing over and over again as a youth!
