STRAVINSKY / PULCINELLA
The Chicago Symphony Orchestra gets a head start on the March 2009 celebration of Pierre Boulez’s 85th birthday with a true rarity: a recording of Igor Stravinsky’s complete ballet Pulcinella. Showcasing a stripped-down CSO and three endearing young vocal soloists, Boulez’s clean aesthetic brings this neo-Classical masterpiece to life.

Boulez is currently the CSO’s Helen Regenstein Conductor Emeritus, having held the Principal Guest Conductor title since 1995. His concerts in Chicago have featured numerous performances of 20th-century masterpieces and contemporary works, as well as collaborations with several notable soloists. The tightly knit scores on this album are united by the intense focus of Boulez and the CSO, and stand as documents of his fruitful years in Chicago.
A musical force in Chicago and around the world, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra is consistently hailed as one of the fi nest international orchestras. Its expansive catalog of more than 900 recordings has earned 60 Grammy® Awards—more than any other orchestrain the world. In 2007, the CSO launched its Grammy®-winning in-house record label, CSO Resound. Featuring live concert performances by the CSO with world-class conductors and guest artists, CSO Resound showcases the power and versatility of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra.
