The only thing By Igor I can tolerate is “Firebird Suite”.
My taste for clangorous dissonance only goes as far as Prokofieff and Shostakovitch.

Shostakovitch No. 5.
I can listen to that all day. Fond memories.
Written for the Russian revolution. Then again, the Eroica was for Napoleon.......

Shoskatovich is my favorite when it comes to modern Russians.

You don’t like Petroushka? It’s delightful. Stravinsky went all neo-classical in his late 30s. Nothing remotely clangorous. Kind of dull though.
