It’s to ask to play quietly aha tho I thought it meant stop as well until he went on

meanwhile Toscanini: listen to me, TESTE DI CAZZO!!!

Such remarkable joy on Stravinsky's face as he hears this music of his come to life. And so remarkable also the way he just lets it be, not being self-indulgent in the manner of many conductors. The little correction early on when the bassoon slows down (such a common tradition in most performances) and how alive the music seems when that is redone. Just delightful from start to finish.

Che meraviglia! Grande, grande, grande Igor' Stravinskij!

Pulcinella is a charming, delightful piece made even more so by Stravinsky's elegant conducting. This little video is a treat.

Braviisimo Igor Stravinsky!

Great. He seems to enjoy his music a lot, and deservedly so, it's not only music made by a genius, but also extremely captivating. I'm glad to see the legendary Stravinsky, especially conducting his own composition!

Ah Pulcinella. What a piece. Probably the greatest pastiche of earlier centuries ever composed in history. Full of elegant, cheeky, witty twists and turns, respectful of original material but also creating a wonderful fresh take on already wonderful music. What a delight to see and hear. Great playing too.

Are you calling what is simply the MUSIC and "academic" don't know what? It is no wonder that music no longer exists.

thumbs up if you are watching because you like Stravinsky

It's kind of comforting to know that even Stravinsky does the thing of roughly singing out the rhythm/notes of a section before starting

This is from a Canadian television documentary titled "Stravinsky at 85," and yes, there is some further footage of him conducting and rehearsing. The entire program may be purchased on DVD from Video Artists International (see link in the video description above).

I'm realy proud,to be a classical musician...love you maestro

He seems to be happy here.

In the spring of 1967 Robert Craft and Stravinsky gave a concert in Toronto. The composer was nearly 85 and conducted the Pulcinella Suite; it was the last time he would ever conduct. CBC showed their documentary that year, though they could not be aware this was to be his farewell concert. I wonder if the Craft Oedipus Rex (featuring Marilyn Horne) is in the vaults?

sooo beautyful music!!!!!!!!!!

Une légende des temps modernes que nous avons la chance de voir! Quel privilège!

Stravinsky works graciously with the players.

Wow! Great quality on this video, and so interesting to see him speak about his music.

Thank you for sharing this beautiful moment.

Love!

One of the most profound, and influential composers of the 20th century. Where would John Williams be today without the inspiration of "Igor Stravinsky"?

I'm grateful for someone who recorded this footage for posterity. I quite like the Neoclassical period of Stravinsky.

The recording is so good for the time!

Sweet music.

OMG! I can't believe that I'm watching this. I salute the people who had the insight to record this video back then. I hear 'hints' of the great BACH in some of his changes, particularly @ 1:27 with the flute stating the theme, then @ 2:10 with the violin. Classic!!!

Fantastic !! thanks for this vid

Happy 139th birthday, Stravinsky! 1882, 17 June

I quite agree some of my most prized mono classical lps are of Stravinsky conducting the new York philharmonic and thed Cleveland orchestras

He looks so happy at 1:15. I wonder if it was hearing his own music, or if it was that that guy played on tempo this time?

It's his suite from the ballet Pulcinella from 1920. Stravinsky arranged pieces from various early 18th century composers, and it is the beginning of his (and Picasso's, the set designer of the ballet) neoclassical period

Hey Toronto people-- was that hyman goodman on violin?

@smzmusic and of course Philip Glass, Tan Dun adn Arvo Pärt. Sadly we lost one of the most emotional compsoers of the minimalist-genre not long ago, Gorecki

@dalecampbl7 sure.. off the top of my head Steve Reich, Elliott Carter, George Crumb, John Adams just to name a few

2:15 what happened?????

Dislikes?

Igor Stravinsky and Aaron Copland are long lost twins. They look so much alike. lol

Perhaps. I don't think that's it. I believe the orchestra has not sensed his time properly, and he is a bit slower than them. This is a rehearsal, not a concert.

1-2-3-1-2-3

This seems to contradict Stravinsky's admission that he simply copied Robert Craft's conducting. Fantastic stuff.
