Klaus Mäkelä conducts Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring in his Carnegie hall debut

[@JT-qr8lt]

An exceptional conductor who is totally devoted to his music and who is able to engage his orchestra to realise their full potentials. No wonder he got the job in both RCO and Chicago! ❤

@@listerofsmeg884 sad ….why can’t one just admire a young talent who has done more than usual share in promoting classic music? You are of course entitled to your own opinion but pls do not speculate anything wholly untrue! Live & let live!

I'm going to see him with l'orchestre de Paris in Cologne next year, performing this!!! A lifelong dream will come true!!!

Standing ovation!

[@reamartin6458]

Actually stood up because they couldn’t wait to leave the sound of the applause we were added later

[@MarshallArtz007]

In this section you can hear that Stravinsky learned a lot about orchestration from his mentor Rimsky-Korsakov. 😎🎹

В этой музыке - сама ПРИРОДА! Ее сила, красота и мощь! Дирижер вне всяких похвал! г. Санкт-Петербург.

Fabulous! The CSO is very fortunate to have him!

Bravo!

The Rite of Spring is a ballet and orchestral work by Russian composer Igor Stravinsky. A masterpiece of musical energy, the composition shows an absolutely prodigious network of inventiveness. From the synthesis of all the musical elements operated by Stravinsky is born an aesthetic multiplicity which intensely privileges the acoustic effects and the dramatic force. « The sacral dance » (Allegro moderato), Act 2, Scene 6, is the culmination of the piece, the moment that illustrates the original idea of its composition, this dance where the brutal force of a symphony orchestra explodes, treated in a style revolutionary. The work which has exacerbated the chromaticism to the highest point, the harsh harmonies, the raw sonorities, are born from the creation of powerful instrumental blocks, that clash or complement each other, the richness of timbres of an enlarged orchestra as well as the use of playing modes that push the sounds to the extreme, emancipating the rhythmic and releasing the tonal harmony from its classico-romantic pivots. Stravinsky juxtaposes and accumulates his musical ideas in contrasting flows, which interact with each other and create a perpetual increase in the energy released, which will crystallize an innovative approach essential to the modernity of 20th century music. The celebrity of the work does not hesitate to make it one of the pillars of musical modernism. Phenomenal beauty! *Lucien*

Великолепно! Обожаю этого дирижёра! Bravissimo! Просто счастье, что в 63 года у меня появился любимый маэстро!

Please tell me which part is this

[@mr.vercotti9509]

This is the section called “Spring Rounds.” It’s my favorite one!

[@jazzhotline]

Musicalement le résultat est indéniable heureusement ! mais c ‘est un peu comme regarder du tennis avec Borg puis juste après les joueurs d ‘aujourd’hui qui lèvent le poing en l ‘air à chaque point gagné : par comparaison c ‘est inutile et vulgaire comme la société du spectacle.

[@stevieb6368]

Ghastly!

[@the_great_biscuit8215]

I think it''s pretty sad with the glorification of Mr. Mäkelä. Sure, he is talented and he as absolutely great potential, but at this stage? Not so much. This performance completely lacks any form of energy and drive, and the players looks like they're bored to death.

[@SwayamNath]

Isn't it too slow and less enthusiastic.

[@hurricane_hazel]

Oh honey. You should have been there. It picks up.

[@waltervonstolzing13]

Da vergüenza ajena ver a este director 😮

[@SoundRoshi]

pues hace un buen trabajo al mostrar la locura y la intensidad que contiene esta obra. tal vez la razón por la que ha sido tan exitoso es porque no le da miedo dar "vergüenza ajena".

[@HearttoHeart53]

The Bible says in Matt. 12:34 - 35: "O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things; and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth esille things."

[@gutierristica]

Que argumentos tienes para afirmar lo que dices? quizás quisiste decir otra cosa, pero se presta para dobles lecturas tu frase. Desde décadas que nos tienen acostumbrados a directores cerebritos que aparentemente tienen todo bajo control, muestran compostura y una mentalidad conservadora. La intensidad de Mäkelä no tiene parangón, una nueva generación de músicos brillantes que con su capacidad histriónica no teme a mostrar lo que la música le va transmitiendo en cuanto a emoción, la teatralidad de su dirección no es un simple disfraz pues le suma gran elocuencia a cada frase, pero claramente los egos de cierto público melómano tradicional y con prejuicios saltan al no poder sentir esa magia, que pena por ellos, lo que es a mi me encanta como director.

[@waynesmith3767]

This is awful.

[@melaubach]

Perhaps in your opinion. Speaking only for myself, I think it’s AMAZING.

[@waynesmith3767]

@@melaubach compare it Matt, to any of the acknowledged great conductors of this masterpiece, Matt, or even Stravinsky himself (and he wasn’t the best conductor of his own or anyone else’s music, but the tempi and clarity and secco sound are pretty good) and then come back and tell me what you think. BTW, it isn’t only my opinion. He makes his greatest appeal. Hope this doesn’t sound snobbish to those who are not familiar with Stravinsky or with orchestral music generally.

[@listerofsmeg884]

try it yourself (I mean it, try it, not saying it in a bad way but in those places it gets really hot)

[@josephhapp9]

This is a short excerpt, watch a complete version and you will understand how much physical and emotional energy is needed to get the orchestra sounding this way.

[@groezy]

of all pieces you say this about rite of spring??? this thing is impossible to conduct

If you don't sweat when conducting the Rite, you aren't conducting the Rite.
