Colour and mischief animate Stravinsky's 'Petrushka', a ballet that was said to reshape Russian folk idioms through modern orchestral daring. Merchants, magicians and unruly crowds all feature across the score where fairground energy collides with sharp rhythm and real harmonic bite. Claudio Abbado's 1981 recording with the London Symphony Orchestra captures that theatrical sweep in all its glory. Originally issued from a digital source, it now appears for the first time cut from the analogue 8-track master that restores warmth and depth to its bustling textures. The result is energising and alive while honouring Stravinsky's original musical wit.
