Editorial Product Review: :There are several wonderful works on this seventh installment of the Music Masters series of historic Stravinsky recordings. Probably the most famous is Stravinsky's jazz take on the Faust legend, The Soldier's Tale. There are other delights as well: his arrangement of La Marseillaise, the French national anthem, for solo violin; his serene Mass setting; the childlike Cat's Lullabies; and Monument, a homage to the notorious Italian Renaissance composer Gesualdo. Robert Craft conducts the Orchestra of St. Luke's in consistently intelligent and engaging performances. --Joshua Cody

Editorial Product Review: :Robert Craft's admirable series of Stravinsky recordings for Koch continues with this program of neo-classical works.
