Schaffhausen Klassik VIII: «(UN)FREIHEIT»

According to the original version of the Ballets Russes directed by impresario Sergei Diaghilev, the scenery for "The Firebird" from 1910 looks like this: A tree with strange golden fruit stands in the garden of the Russian magician Kastschej. In it, a glittering, luminous bird moves back and forth excitedly. The heir to the throne, Ivan Tsarevich, manages to catch this fantastic bird. If released, he promises to help him in any emergency. The 27-year-old Igor Stravinsky set these images to music in a magical way. Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky was also only 24 years old when he set to work on his first symphony. He was plagued by self-doubt and struggled over the unfinished score for two years. But to this day, the sounds he put down on paper are immortal.
