| Description: |
One can hardly imagine a more triumphant music than the final piece of Igor Stravinsky's ballet 'The Firebird'. It is the victory of good over evil that is described in magnificent orchestral colours. Power and gratitude – and the certainty to be a hero, all this is included in Stravinsky's highly virtuoso music which would redound to the honour of every film composer. This music is great cinema, indeed!
