    As part of the complete Bridge recordings of his works, this recording was supervised by Crumb...

    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.

    Hi there! I've been searching for a copy of the Return to Oz score for ages, and stumbling upon this video is a dream come true! Any chance you could share where you found it? I'd love to delve deeper into the markings and details. Also, I'm curious if there are other scores from David Shire's Return to Oz soundtrack available for study. Thank you so much in advance! By the way, I attempted to inquire about this previously, but my attempt to share contact info got flagged. Just wanted to assure you that I'm a real person genuinely interested in studying the score.

    I have the recording with the New York Philharmonic with Arthur Weisberg conducting. I think it's preferable to this rendition. The terror in the work is captured better. Maestro Crumb came down to Guanajuato, Mexico, in 1995 to hear the University of Guanajuato Symphony Orchestra perform this. He wasn't very happy with the performance, and strangely enough, wasn't satisfied with the work itself. I don't know why, because I think it's one of his strongest pieces. The organization is masterly, and the events are perfectly paced.

    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. 🙂

  • @mikeklimczak9600

    Remarkable instrumentation/orchestration. Even in this pretty straight forward rendering you still hear a bit of Stravinsky, by choice of instruments alone. I don't know much of the background of this work, but was he maybe thinking of a new stylistic approach? Thank you for sharing.

  • @mikeklimczak9600
    @mikeklimczak960010 ай бұрын

    According to Craft, Stravinsky arranged this work because he felt he couldn't compose something else about death, although he obviously wrote Requiem Canticles. Lovely orchestration. Quite powerful.

    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.

    For me, there has only ever been two musical composers who truely warrant the term 'Great'; that's J.S.Bach and Stravinsky. Why I say that is because none except them have been so adept at mangling harmony up until the point of complete chaos, and then bringing it back from the abyss to some kind of cohesion. And they both could do so within just a few bars of minimal writing. Masterful.

    oh our beloved LvB and Mahler, and Mozart could wind up a few lines here and there, then that filthy Wagner guy who somehow made music,... gets confusing for me at that point as morality and art should be so distant but I do love Stravinsky, and Bach is the foundation of all western music
