The Russian Stravinsky, Part 1

Posted on by

My review of the fab­u­lous open­ing con­cert of the Russ­ian Stravin­sky is now up at Seen and Heard.  More to come; I’ll be see­ing the excit­ing pro­gram of Orpheus and Oedi­pus Rex this Fri­day.  In the mean­time, tick­ets are still avail­able for this great event, and there’s a nice video of Stravin­sky arti­facts on dis­play in Avery Fisher hall.

  1. It was a great evening and it was won­der­ful to relive a beau­ti­ful, mag­i­cal per­for­mance, par­tic­u­larly the Fire­bird through your descrip­tion in the review. Look for­ward to explor­ing more Gergiev, espe­cially the LSO and Mahler next sea­son at Lin­coln Cen­ter. Thanks for the ‘introduction.’

    • I would really rec­om­mend Gergiev’s record­ing with the Kirov Orches­tra on Phillips. I lis­tened to it often while writ­ing the review and the only thing it lacks from the con­cert is that live edge, it’s a great recording.
