Giancarlo, Shaham, and the Nashville Symphony record it live, for posterity. Noted historian Michael Steinberg called Stravinsky’s score to The Firebird “one of music’s great showpieces of orchestration—often astonishing and everywhere beautiful,” and a “remarkable tour–de–force” of the symphonic repertoire.
