Petrouchka or Petrushka is a ballet with music by Russian composer Igor Stravinsky, composed in 1910--11 and revised in 1947 (you're listening to the revised version).
Petrushka is a story of a Russian traditional puppet, Petrushka, who is made of straw and with a bag of sawdust as his body, but who comes to life and develops emotions.
According to Andrew Wachtel, Petrushka is a work that fuses music, ballet, choreography and history in perfect balance. It evokes Richard Wagner's Gesamtkunstwerk (total artwork), but with a Russian approach.

Performed by Leonard Bernstein and the New York Philharmonic.
