Gustavo Gimeno on Igor Stravinsky’s 1967 Toronto curtain call
Update: 2025-10-01
Description
Back in 1967, Igor Stravinsky, the legendary classical composer, ignored his doctors’ advice and conducted the Toronto Symphony Orchestra in what would turn out to be his final public performance ever. Now, the TSO is honouring that concert and Stravinsky’s legacy with a new recording of his 1920 ballet, “Pulcinella.” Gustavo Gimeno, the orchestra’s music director, joins Tom Power to tell us about the record and why it was such a big deal for Stravinsky to do this performance.
