Petrushka is one of three innovative ballets composed by Igor Stravinsky during his "Russian" period. With Petrushka, Stravinsky showed his neo-folkloric side and brought a colorful street crowd with a magician and his puppets, merchants and mummies to the ballet stage. In doing so, he showed the world that funfair and classical music are not contradictory, and his audience now heard folk music from a new perspective.

This is one of the few Deutsche Grammophon productions from 1980 in which digital 2-track and analogue 8-track were recorded in parallel. By using the analogue 8-track master, this release now makes the recording available in purely analogue form for the very first time.

Deutsche Grammophon's Original Source Series presents outstanding recordings from the 1970s in a whole new sound quality. For this, the renowned Emil Berliner Studios have remastered and edited the original 4- and 8-track tapes in 100% analog quality (AAA) using technologies developed specifically to produce the series. Released on 180-gram vinyl records with deluxe gatefold jackets with original covers and lyrics, the series is limited and numbered, accompanied by additional photos and facsimiles of the recording logs and tape boxes.
