Provenance

Where it came from

The Soldier’s Tale, or L'Histoire du soldat, was originally conceived by Igor Stravinsky and Swiss writer C.F. Ramuz in 1918. Born out of the economic constraints of the First World War, the work was designed as a portable, minimalist theatrical piece intended for a small traveling troupe, utilizing a septet and narrator rather than a full orchestra. This 2018 recording captures a modern interpretation performed at the Bridgehampton Chamber Music Festival.

This specific recording features Roger Waters, who provides the narration for the Faustian story of a soldier who trades his violin for a book of unlimited wealth. The production was praised for Waters' dramatic delivery, which lends a contemporary, cynical edge to the character of the Devil and the Narrator. It stands as a notable entry in the discography of the work, blending traditional chamber music precision with a high-profile theatrical performance.
