Provenance

Where it came from

Originally composed in 1918 by Igor Stravinsky during the height of World War I, The Soldier’s Tale was conceived as a portable, economical theater piece that could tour small towns across Switzerland. Written for a narrator, two actors, and a septet of instruments, the work reflects the disillusionment and austerity of the era, blending jazz, ragtime, and classical influences to tell the Faustian morality play of a soldier who trades his fiddle to the devil for infinite wealth.

The 2018 Sony Classical release features a modern reimagining produced in collaboration with the Bridgehampton Chamber Music Festival, with Pink Floyd co-founder Roger Waters providing new narration. Waters, who had a long-standing interest in the work, sought to sharpen the translation to emphasize the narrative's themes of greed and consequence. The recording was met with interest from both classical audiences and fans of Waters' progressive rock career for its fusion of traditional instrumentation and a distinctive, contemporary vocal delivery.
