Nicknamed a man of a thousand faces by his contemporaries, Stravinsky revealed his neo-folklorist face in Petrushka; in collaboration with the artist and librettist \u003cstrong\u003eAlexandre Benois\u003c\/strong\u003e, he courageously brought a motley street crowd, complete with a magician and his puppets, merchants, gypsies, cabbies, and mummers, onto the ballet stage.\r\n\r\nEven more important, however, was that Stravinsky showed the world that fairground entertainment is not alien to classical music. His audiences now heard popular and folk genres from a new perspective, including street cries, the sound of the hurdy-gurdy, accordion tunes, and melodies of well-known folk songs, including archetypal Vdol po Piterskoy (Down the Peterskaya); Ah Vy Seni, Moi Seni (Ah you, inner porch), and Ah Sneg Tayet (The snow is melting). The scenes of the Maslenitsa or Mardi Gras festivities in St. Petersburg in the 19th century were portrayed so colourfully that Benois described the work as a ballet of the streets; it was also his idea to resurrect the spirit of Petrushka in the finale, as a recognition of Petrushka’s longing for personal happiness and assertion of self-worth.\r\n\r\nThe musicologist Boris Asafiev believed that a concert performance of this ballet would give the listener’s imagination much more food for thought than any staged production.\r\n\r\n\u003chr\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eUral Philharmonic Orchestra \u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eDmitry Liss, Conductor\u003c\/strong\u003e","brand":"Fuga Libera","offers":[{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56740479435076,"sku":"FUG901-6","price":20.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56740479467844,"sku":"FUG901-14","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 128 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56740479500612,"sku":"FUG901-15","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 256 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56740479533380,"sku":"FUG901-16","price":29.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 512 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56740479566148,"sku":"FUG901-21","price":35.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DXD 24 Bit \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56740479598916,"sku":"FUG901-22","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"WAV 96 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":57342855053636,"sku":"FUG901-5","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0966\/7900\/2436\/files\/FUG901.jpg?v=1778498154","url":"https:\/\/www.nativedsd.com\/products\/fug901-stravinsky-petrushka","provider":"NativeDSD Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
