Stravinsky: The Soldier's Tale

With New Narration Adapted and Performed by Roger Waters

Bridgehampton Chamber Music Festival Musicians, Roger Waters (narrator)

Stravinsky: The Soldier's Tale
Roger Waters, of Pink Floyd fame, is the star turn as narrator. His Germanic (or is it Russian?) accent for the Devil leaves a bit to be desired, but it’s otherwise a characterful performance.

Awards and reviews

February 2019

Roger Waters, of Pink Floyd fame, is the star turn as narrator. His Germanic (or is it Russian?) accent for the Devil leaves a bit to be desired, but it’s otherwise a characterful performance.

December 2018

The narrative is admirably clear and [Waters’s] additions contain some fine verbal flourishes…His laid-back delivery of the text itself, meanwhile, doesn’t always help, I’m afraid…Playing without a conductor, the Bridgehampton musicians are excellent. Ensemble is carefully focused, solos beautifully done…The recording is immaculately balanced, though sound effects have been added.
