Igor Stravinsky and John Williams are two composers who deftly use symphonic music as dramatic tellings of audacious adventures. Stravinsky is featured twice, notably with the avant-garde and iconic “Firebird”, which modernized the telling of symphonic love stories with the folkloric saga of love-struck Russian Prince Ivan.
