Music reviews of Stravinsky: The Rite of Spring; The Firebird Suite (1919)
Music Review: BEAUTIFUL!
Rating: 5 Stars
I bought this orginally because someone told me there was a bassoo solo in the begining. As that is my main instrument, I HAD to hear it for myself. It is beautiful and lovely. The composer and the musicians bring forth the emotions and paint a beautiful picture. Just close your eyes and you can envision what they are trying to convey! I love it!
Description of Stravinsky: The Rite of Spring; The Firebird Suite (1919)
Considering that Stravinsky's Rite of Spring has been around for nearly a century, it's surprising that even today, conductors literally get lost while attempting to beat through it--and that goes for some of the biggest names. Difficult as the piece is, conductors have no excuse for major lapses, now that this recording is available for study. Bernstein not only keeps complete control of the complex rhythms and constantly-switching meters throughout the work but he also interprets it with fire and sweep and emotional versatility. The Firebird is equally breathtaking. It's priceless, too, for the fabulous horn solo played by the New York Philharmonic's legendary James Chambers. --Gwendolyn FreedGeneral CDs
