Beatrice Rana records Stravinsky: The Firebird: Finale

This transcription of The Firebird was made by Guido Agosti, a pupil of Busoni. "It’s challenging, but written with an understanding of the piano," Beatrice says. Her album also features transcriptions of three movements of Stravinsky's Petrushka, made by the composer himself, alongside Ravel's Miroirs and La Valse.

[Tsobanian]

Piano transcription by Guido Agosti. Agosti knocked it out of the ballpark with his transcription. Sam Raphling transcribed the 1919 Ballet Suite for piano solo, whereas Stravinsky himself transcribed the whole Firebird K010 ballet for piano solo. Among them, Agosti's transcriptions is the most virtuosic and fiendishly difficult (yet it's only comprised of 3 pieces).
