Igor Stravinsky was acclaimed for his great ballets, the suites he drew from them, and the unusual range of compositions he created for the likes of Woody Herman, Isaac Stern, and the Breck Golden Showcase. But throughout his long career, Stravinsky wrote a surprising number of orchestral works that are typically impractical for "normal" concert programs. In this episode of Stravinsky at 1-2-5, independent producer Jackson Braider explores these overlooked gems from the composer's catalog. John McClure discusses the problem of scheduling a four-minute work for full orchestra and chorus; Jared Bernstein of the Economic Policy Institute discusses the labor implications of writing short pieces for hordes of players; and John Heiss of New England Conservatory describes Stravinsky's brush with the law when he brought a new arrangement of the Star-Spangled Banner to Boston.
