Untill you look at the Score, imagine how difficult it must be for the Conductor, Stravinsky really screwing with the rythm.

I am going to play it this year, looking forward tense and fascinated. And practising more than ever. 😄

[@wingflanagan]

This is one of the best performances of "The Rite of Spring" I have ever heard. Ever. When it's over you can see it in the conductor's eyes - "Yeah, baby! We f***ing NAILED IT!!!" (but, you know, in Dutch...)

[@diederikpeelen]

that would be "Ja baby! We hebben het neukend genageld!"

[@applejuices]

@@diederikpeelen That's a super weird translation

[@KydenBufect]

I strongly disagree. There are several weak sections throughout the performance. Overall I give it a B+ Mehta 1978 LA Philharmonic is still the definitive recording.

[@wingflanagan]

@@KydenBufect Interesting. I'm an amateur (composer, enthusiast), so my critical facilities may be lacking, but honestly, to my ears this reading is exquisite - especially for a live recording without the benefit of retakes and editing. A point of agreement: the Mehta with LA is also my favorite. :-) Sometimes I listen to Fedoseev's Rite, which is just...shall we say...wacky. Definitely ideosyncratic. His reading is perhaps beyond criticism in the usual sense because of its peculiarity. You might well hate it, but I recommend it as a novelty.

I have heard many versions of Rite of Spring, and in my opinion, this is the version I return to the most. The room has such a mellow sound. The high's are not to sharp, and the bass is warm and rounded. The conductor isn't trying to make the Symphony more striking than it was intended. The musicians are allowing room for the lead instruments and the lead characters are performing flawlessly. Love it!!!!!

@@peterjanssen5901 Unfortunately, the Dutch are overwhelmingly too often mediocre. Musically, theirs (ours) feels to be a boring country except for a few outstanding musicians and performances. Difficult to find at least acceptable concerts outside Amsterdam and perhaps Utrecht, except for an absolutely astounding concert by Kocsis and Kelemen in Arnhem when Kocsis was still alive, and one by an ageing Radu Lupu.

[@mcelweet]

This piece has influenced so much of modern orchestral music, especially film music. There are passages that clearly influenced John Williams and Michael Kamen. I think you could make a strong case for influence on Gershwin and Copland, too. Amazing that it's 100 years old and still sounds so fresh.

[@KydenBufect]

I can see a lot of influence in the music of the original Star Trek TV series.

[@Dee-dt8qw]

Heck, it's influencing me right now

[@classicallpvault8251]

Of course it influenced Copland, he received tuition from one of Stravinsky's close associates and promoters, Nadia Boulanger.

[@shantihealer]

@@KydenBufect The staccato chords around 5 mins could be an influence on the motif for the planet killer in The Doomsday Machine episode. What other influences?

[@rr7firefly]

When my younger brother and I were children I used to "turn into a Frankenstein monster" at 3:40 in this video's score. As I walked stiffly toward him he'd scream and run out of the room. A few minutes later he'd be back, begging "Do it again." Of course I've listened to this countless times since then -- I came to love the turbulence, the collisions of improbable instrumental pairings, the sublime overlays of sound, the shifts from overwhelming darkness to shimmering light. It's amazing that it never gets old.

The perfect middle ground of tonal and atonal music. Plus an absolute mastery of orchestration. I have no doubt that if a composer from the Romantic/Classical era, or even someone earlier, like Bach, would have been astonished by the Rite of Spring.

[@LordMgls]

I went all to way to the Altai Mountains in Siberia just outside the Mongolian border - only to find the very same rythms among local artists. They used mostly drums, a curious local instrument which is neither winds nor percussion and throat singing. Their rythms instantly reminded me of The Rite of Spring.

[@KydenBufect]

Fascinating story. I am envious!

[@stargenemolly]

When I was a child, I was surrounded by music of this kind. I can remember carefully placing an LP of Rite of Spring on the phonograph of a huge old console, and hunkering down right in front of the giant speakers and letting the music just pour over me. Bliss. My favorite symphony of all time. I sometimes now wonder what Beethoven, Mozart and Haydn might think of it if they were brought forward in time, in their prime. Would their genius let them get past the strange, exotic modernness of it and recognize a fellow spirit? I think so.

[@balamsky]

Very good question! I think... they probably don’t like this piece, because often to appreciate an art work completely, you have to try understand it in its “Weltanschauung”. Mozart, for example, wrote his pieces in an epoch were the harmonic connection of every single part of the totality was the maximum for everything (including philosophy). Well... that’s my opinion. Again... very good question!

[@DailyKosia]

We can't answer... but I can say for example that another great Romantic composer of that's time, Rachmaninov, helped to publish a book of Nikolai Medtner, who is his friend and composer, and who didn't like the new modern sounds in the classical modern music of Stravinsky and Prokofieff (and even earlier, Max Reger and Robert Schumann). He wrote this little book: "The Muse and The Fashion" that you can found for free on the Web on medtner .org .uk , where you can see another opinion by a talented composer.

[@danfriend9567]

It's not a symphony.Its a ballet.

[@andreasheise894]

Good question- I agree. Beethoven for shure, Mozart would have some problems with the energical power-right-into-stomac. Hayd- I don´t know. How about Schönberg? For shure. I can feel it. I make paintings during concerts calling them "Musical Seismographies", all kinds of music, even electronic stuff like Thomas Lehn and Andrew Peckler.

It is amazing how fast Stravinsky moved from the Firebird to Petrushka to Sacre. From the first note this music sounds like nothing that had existed up until then.

[@swifty1969]

Stravinksy was pure genius to make a composition of this magnitude with hair raising nuances. truly....BRAVO!!!!!

[@8pm8am]

I really like this performance because it eliminates the carelessness that often occurs in live performances, and moves on to the next movement while maintaining a sense of tension.

[@curiousnomad]

Incredible that Stravinsky wrote this after having studied what preceded it. He turned the world upside down and set the stage for what came after. And, for the non classically oriented musicians listening, this rocks!

[@kshitijsrivastava6440]

The rite of spring is one of my favourite pieces of music, primarily because it is so thrilling and challenging to like. Dissonance is not everybody's cup of tea, particularly people back in 1913,but a lot of innovations and styles in music would not have been present if not for this piece. Stravinsky, you were a genius.

Learning about the music theory behind the music of Stravinsky gives many, including myself, a much greater appreciation for the "chaos." Even as a teen, I would much rather listen to the artistry behind Stravinsky than pop music.

[@markwardprodking]

Curious. “Chaos.” I thought so. Until I looked at the score. Perfect chaos. Brilliant. However, when I first heard it, I was appalled. No wonder there was a riot in Paris.

[@Madaduxum]

The Rite of Spring has always been one of my favorite compositions. The scope of young musical genius is unparalleled by Stravinsky with The Rite. Its polyrythmic modernism is breathtaking as his extreme tone color and constant shocking vehemence after relatively peaceful and tranquil periods is addictively distressing. Thank you, Stravinsky, for a once in a century composition.

[@Karavyre]

I love Fantasia, but as I was a child did not like this bit so much. It was until later it kind of grew on me.

[@chrismurphymusictuition2280]

As I said it a few years ago, and my opinion has not changed one bit, this is one of the most brilliant, electric and definitive performances of this piece I have ever heard. Brilliant conducting from Jaap. I love this interpretation from beginning to end and every member of that orchestra is totally 'in the zone'. Just look at the expression on the principal flute players face while she is counting her rests and listening to the oboe solo - she is really 'feeling' the mood of the oboe solo so as to stay in the zone. I am also in love the heroic principal horn player. Such demanding solos, but she looks like Brunhilde and can cope easily. Are the cello player and principal clarinet brothers - their hair style suggest so. Filming also good -BRILLIANT all round.
