Today is the 139th birthday of the composer Igor Fyodorovich Stravinsky. He was one of the collection of vibrant artists, dancers, writers, composers, musicians from all over the world that gravitated to Paris between the wars. His works are immediately recognizable and universally adored. The world is a better place because he was in it and still feels the loss that he has left.

Music: Stravinsky: The Firebird / Gergiev · Vienna Philarmonic · Salzburg Festival 2000
