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.
