Stravinsky: Apollon musagète (1965) | New York City Ballet | NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra

In 1965 Igor Stravinsky recorded his ballet music "Apollon musagète" - "Apollo as leader of the muses" with the then NDR Symphony Orchestra. The New York City Ballet danced for the television version of the ballet, which was realized in the NDR Studio.

"While we were still rehearsing 'Oedipus', Stravinsky played me his new work, 'Apollon musagete'. I was absolutely enchanted." - Otto Klemperer, circa 1928 at the Kroll-Oper. What a contribution, NDR. I came for Urbanski and stayed for Stravinsky :).

[@NDRKlassik]

Love it! Great to have you! There is more Stravinsky on the channel, you might wanna stay :)

[@beentheresawthat3982]

Thank you. I love this ballet so much, and this may be the best performance of it

[@NDRKlassik]

You are very welcome! We're happy you enjoyed it. Thank you so much!

Wow! So fast, seat of the pants time. One or two different things but, my goodness, is this the best recording of this piece ever made? It certainly is for me. It evokes the time it was created, the time it was recorded, and still somehow is the most radical ballet Ive seen in years. Overwhelming. Thanks so much for posting, NDR. An important historical treasure.

[@NDRKlassik]

Thank you so much for this nice comment! We love your enthusiasm!

I'd like to add a word in praise of the filming. This is how to film dance. Start the camera, get the dancers' full bodies in frame, and then follow them. No editing for "dramatic effect." Don't cut to the face: they're dancing with their bodies. Don't switch cameras for the sake of variety. Trust the dancers and the audience.

[@NDRKlassik]

Thanks for your appreciation, we are glad you like it! ✨

What a great gift from your archive, wonderful Stravinsky music, wonderful Balanchine ballet! Unique, so beautiful, such great video quality for 1965! Thank you very much for sharing this. (Are there any other such music ballet treasures in your archives?) Million thanks to the NDR and Elbphilharmonie Orchester!

[@NDRKlassik]

Thank you, what a nice comment! I believe this is a rather rare gem - ballet is not quite our core repertoire ;). But we love it, too!!

[@fratello885]

A work like a fairy tail of another time... - "Abendland" and humanism at its best! Even from the New World - like a last salute to Europe...

[@themusicprofessor]

Wonderful to see this! Stravinsky's great (1928) antithesis to the Rite of Spring, scored just for string orchestra, with Balanchine's original choreography. Beautiful dancing from d'Àmboise, Farrell, Govrin, Neary and von Aroldingen. The 1920s meets the 1960s when this recording was made, and the orchestra sounds a bit like they've just been playing on Bernard Herrmann's soundtrack to Psycho!

[@NDRKlassik]

Thank you very much! We are pleased that you like our recording.

What your legendary old Dirigent Schuechter, old pit conductor himself, could have done with this ! Ah, things that never were. But this is darned good. My favorite of all of IS's sizeable " Neoclassical Canon".

[@andromede087]

Schönes Archiv.

Polymnie variation is superb in technical precision .

Septembre 1939 - Stravinsky s'apprête à partir pour Harvard, où il va donner une série de conférences sur le thème "la poétique de la musique". Curieux de sa réaction, et soucieux d'éventuelles corrections stylistiques, il en soumet le texte à Valéry qui suggère des modifications de détails. Mais ce qui retient surtout l'attention de son ami, c'est que "les idées premières ont plus d'une analogie avec celles de mon cours au Collège." (Le Collège de France où Valéry tient la chaire de "Poétique".) . Stravinsky, Valéry, - et l'on peut ajouter Ravel -, ne se sont pas tout entiers engouffrés dans la brèche moderniste ouverte par leur temps - du reste ouverte grandement par le jeune Stravinsky. Ils en apprivoisent les audaces, en les intégrant dans une rigueur formelle d'apparence parfois trompeuse. À travers deux extraits d'Apollon Musagète (Stravinsky), et deux autres des Fragments du Narcisse (Valéry), cette vidéo répond à l'observation d'Arnold Schönberg : "Que de belles choses il reste à écrire en Do Majeur !" - et peut-être... en alexandrins (?) kzbin.info/www/bejne/qHOtmoWngpp_ftU

Note that Apollo's strumming moves look a lot like Pete Townsend's
