I just watched an Elden Ring video, and then I accidentally heard this song. It fits the game so well. George has a great sense of atmosphere. His works leave a lot of room for the imagination.

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. 🙂

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

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 Жыл 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.

@@christophedevos3760 Here is what happened to the best of my knowledge. If there are any errors, I apologize in advance. Here goes: In the late 50s, Stravinsky had a stroke but made a brilliant comeback, and simply kept writing music. In 1966, he finishes Requiem Canticles. In 1967, he publishes a revised version of The Rite of Spring. He also began making notes for a complex orchestral composition. In December of that year, he has a more serious stroke and is badly compromised. That is the turning point, unfortunately. He tries to remain active, attends recording sessions, and even briefly conducted in public on one occasion. He remained in contact with other musicians; Boulez gave him a handwritten copy of Domaines in 1968. He continued listening to new music. But he was not productive like before.
