The Soldier's Tale (Narrated by Roger Waters)

For those who seem confused: The Soldier's Tale is an avant-garde theatre piece (originally L'Histoire du Soldat) with music written by Igor Stravinsky during World War I, premiered in 1918, and was based on a old Russian folktale. The narration for this version is adapted by Roger Waters. IMO, it contains some great subtle poetry, and he does really cool accents. The Bridghampton quartet with added instruments plays it crisp, clear and elegantly. I know classical music better than Pink Floyd, but no furry animals are involved, in or out of a cave, and no grooving Picts, either. The piece is a bit too long, so it gets 4/5 stars from me.

It is hard to find an original adjective to define the huge footprint that Roger has left in music. However, his last album was disappointing and this new experiment is difficult to understand.

Cannot wait to hear this!
