The way Stravinsky tells the story is that Billy Rose sent him a telegram: "YOUR BALLET A GREAT SUCCESS STOP COULD BE A SMASH SUCCESS IF YOU LET ROBERT RUSSELL BENNETT ORCHESTRATE IT STOP BENNETT ORCHESTRATES ALL THE GREAT COMPOSERS EVEN COLE PORTER STOP". Stravinsky telegraphed back "SATISFIED WITH GREAT SUCCESS STOP".

Actually, Wikipedia has it slightly differently from the way I remembered it. I will assume that Wikipedia is correct. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sc%C3%A8nes_de_ballet_(Stravinsky)

A radiant, underrated gem. Stravinsky claimed that the Apotheose was written while he was hearing the news that Paris had been liberated and that one could hear his exaltation in the music. That works for me!

I bet this was the kind of work by Stravinsky Boulez loved.
