Musique extraordinaire... Stravinsky est l'équivalent de Picasso dans le monde de la musique. ❤

A sadly underrated piece by a Goliath of the 20th century

I would contend that Stravinsky was the greatest artist of the 20th century. No one can play with sound like him.

Master ! Igor Stravinsky Genius !

Great work, i wish he composed more like this

His early period is my favorite. Neoclassic style is good, but the best is his early style.

The Rite of Spring/ Firebird/ Petroushka era. His best.

Stravinsky being Stravnsky again

I just love this piece.

It's a heavily edited version of his opera of the same name. Check it out.

Such an incredible piece and the orchestra sounds great. Wish Craft had a bit more nuance as a conductor, but the fast bits are very exciting.

Exelente material!!!

They say Wendy Carlos took some musical cues from this piece when creating the Wormhole music for the Tron film.

15:23

0:43 WOW!!

This one by Robert Craft is the fastest version I know. And I know a lot, since this is my very very favorite Stravinsky composition. I possess 22 recordings of it, including even 5 versions by Pierre Boulez, who also loved this piece very much. This one by Craft is 18:45, the slowest I know is the one by Kitaenko / Kitajenko with the Danish National Symphony Orchestra, 23:24 The one here by Robert Craft is also a little bit the "weirdest" version, maybe due to the fast playing.

Such an interesting piece...

It's a vastly condensed version of his opera of the same name.

columia orchestra = stravinsky

Appreciate the score. The greatest version is the Reiner/Chicago. Craft takes it a bit too fast for my tastes.

Celesta is too sweet.

8:56

Shouldn't 4:53 be twice as fast (remaining in the same tempo)?

So much like Firebird

Only the sections that are derived from the first act of the Rossingol opera. The other parts sound closer to Petroushka, and some sections are written in a way that recalls the Rite of Spring.

Thanks for the video. Valuable. This performance is too fast, though. imo. The finest recording of the piece was conducted by Fritz Reiner and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra in 1956. Perfection, and superb sound engineering too even by today's standards. Again, in my opinion of course. 🙂

I agree, the performance is too fast. Craft conducted this under the "supervision of Stravinsky". Details are lost in its speed.

All of his stuff is good... But ill second that. His earliest style was best. The Rite of Spring/ Firebird/ Petroushka era. His best.
