Stravinsky Firebird piano reduction

[cherub_rocker1979]

What do you guys think of Stravinsky's piano reduction of the complete ballet?

I heard Boris Feiner play this live...absolutely a good transcription!

[soliloquy]

What??


I know there IS a complete transcription, but I didn't think it was by Stravinsky.  I know the most popular Firebird to play is the transcription by Agosti, but that only has three movements.

Sorry, your absolutely right. The transcription he played was by Agosti and there were 3 movements.

I actually have two different versions, though they are both fun to mess with.  One is by Sam Ralphing, and the other... well, all it says is "Igor Stravinsky"

If it's only three movements it's the Agosti version and if it's the whole ballet it's the composer's reduction which he used for rehearsals with the Ballet Russe.

Idil Beret's recording on Naxos is mind-numbing.  In more able hands it might interesting.
