Tune of the day #133

Most recordings I’ve heard of the complete L’ Histoire Du Soldat suffer from stunt casting, e.g., Rudolph Nureyev as the soldier.1 The suite fortunately is entirely instrumental.

  1. The only one I can recommend is that of the Boston Symphony Chamber Players, with John Gielgud, Tom Courtenay and Ron Moody. It’s possible that there are acceptable recent recordings that I haven’t heard yet.
