- Summary:
- In his composition Les Noces (Svadebka), Stravinsky pictures the ceremony of a traditional Russian country wedding. The music, with its fast pace and intricate rhythmic structures, presents the composer's greatest choreographic challenge and Jiri Kylián finds the theme an intriguing one: "Marriage is very strange, but also beautiful. In Russia, especially, it used to be rather mysterious as well, above all for the bride." This performance was recorded in studio.
