The myth of Faust inspired many musicians: Stravinsky’s highly original version depicts a deserting soldier in the grip of the Devil. To illustrate this phantasmal tale, the composer ventured into jazz and popular styles, which lend this iconic work an often unexpected and fiendishly alluring quality.
