Russian-born Igor Stravinsky was one of the most radical, innovative composers of all time, a genuine visionary who forged a new musical language with three of the most original works in the canon: The Firebird (1910), Petrushka (1911) and the riot-inducing The Rite of Spring (1913). His chameleonic nature led him through numerous styles but he always maintained his utterly unique musical voice. His influence on composers who followed was colossal: it's impossible to imagine 20th-century music without him. And you can recognise his music within a few seconds!
