Recorded with a live audience at the Delbarton School in Morristown, New Jersey, this program begins with a complete performance of the Infernal Dance movement by 85 members of The Discovery Orchestra and Maestro George Marriner Maull. A fun, interactive exploration of musical details to notice in this electrifying movement follows, with the help of an on-screen Listening Guide. Stravinsky’s unusual compositional and orchestration techniques are presented in a way that is easily understood by both classical music novices and seasoned concert-goers alike. The program concludes with a performance of the last three movements from the Suite: Kastchei’s Infernal Dance, the gentle Berceuse and glorious Finale.
