Stravinsky: Petroesjka / Petrouchka Concertgebouw Orchestra Live concert HD

[@camilorm5578]

This music is pure magic, Stravinsky's genius was different...

[@CSF-nc8fs]

For people who have no clue as to what the story is it goes like this. At the shrovtide fair in St. Petersburg a magician brings three puppets to life. The first is Petrushka the clown, second is the ballerina and third is a moor. Petrushka loves the ballerina but the ballerina prefers the moor. They have a big scuffle and they leave the theatre. The moor kills Petrushka with his scimitar and Petrushka’s ghost haunts both the moor and the magician.

The part that starts around 18:40 ! The percussion is playing in a completely different rhythm from everybody else. So Stravinsky! There's a lot of that in this score & others of his pieces. These rhythmic complexities are SO beautifully organic - they're not forced onto the music but seem to be essential to it. A few years ago I attended a performance of The Rite of Spring and had a seat where I could really see the musicians. The rhythms were just insane.

It was a extraordinaire highlight for me as a persistant visitor of classic concerts and lover of Strawinsky since decades. A memorable evening! I learned to appreciate the C. O. many years ago (in the eighties) when I listened to recordings (on vinyl wich I still own) with i. e. the legendary Sir Neville Marriner as conductor. Petrouchka is (I guess I can say so) my favorite piece of music since the early eighties when I was twenty and a friend introduced me to Strawinsky, at first with the Histoire du soldat (The Soldier’s Tale) and than Petrouchka. I fell in love from the first moment. And that passion lasts until today.

It is possible to be into a piece of music without moving around. I think it has something to do with different instruments. As a trombone player, I always try to direct my sound forward and would never even think of moving around because it is not really feasible. However I do see people who play smaller instruments that don't point directly forwards often moving around. Also I will admit that in jazz playing I do notice myself moving very slightly with the direction of notes, but only in specific pieces that have no real correlation to how much I am "into it"

I am sorry he didn't introduce neoclassicism during the time period. His most famous pieces which you know are the three ballets Petrushka, Firebird and Rite of Spring were all primitism in his music. This is where modernism was introduced in western classical music
