the italian stravinsky
Igor Stravinsky was quite the cosmopolitan. He lived all over the world, finally settling in the U.S. for the last three decades of his life. Today we'll hear his Italian Suite for violin and piano from a concert in Bucharest, Romania. Plus, Gershwin's Cuban Overture from Munich and an Argentinian tango from California.
