The old story goes that when he emigrated to America the customs man said to him long after he was famous, "You can change your name, you know. Mr Stravinsky."
That's very funny. When Stravinsky visited the University of Texas at Austin in 1965, he was presented with a large cowboy hat, which he wore with pride. In my opinion, he was every bit the equal of Bach, Mozart, Haydn, and Beethoven. The fraternity guys who gave him the hat probably hadn't heard a single piece he'd written.
This chamber orchestra really enjoyed performing these enchanting piece. It's so well-orchestrated it creates fascinatingly seemingly spontaneous musical dialogues.
Great performance! I have loved this since hearing it in college. Stravinsky could really write a catchy hook and he gives the musicians some great stuff to play in this one.
Ah, Igor! His music touches every era of music and puts the Stravinsky-touch on it! And to think that at one point of his life, he became apologetic that his music "sounded good" at a time when "Schoenberg incoherence" became the sign of modernity! Right now: who is Schoenberg??? Right now: Stravinsky will never die!
No reason to match up Strav. & Schoenberg! Stravinsky was a staggering genius with a suitcase of masterpieces to his credit .. for ex., Petrouchka, le Sacre du…, Firebird & Symphony of Psalms(the last section of which is one of the most profoundly moving & gorgeous sacred choral movements in western music history). Strav. Is yet to have been given credit for just how great he was. Schönberg also great, but no Stravinsky. .. and yes, his greatest work (“Gurrelieder“)was early & not 12 tone.
Ярчайший концерт! помните ли что Стравинскому он был заказан супружеской четой на 30-летие свадьбы. Композитор был приглашён в их поместье Дамбартон-Оукс (штат Вашингтон) для обсуждения. Он был настолько поражён прекрасными садами, окружающими дом, что решил положить в основу своего Концерта структурную планировку садов. Уж не знаю насколько правда, но легенда красивая а вещь гениальная.
it‘s because this piece, like a lot of others by Stravinsky, is very difficult to play, and the musicians need full concentration to let it sound joyful, light and easy.
Stravinsky. We can just be thankful he was here. Fabulous piece, of course, and excellent performance.

Such a versatile and ingenious composer, I love the variety of his styles, this is a far cry from The Rite of Spring but also fantastic.
Stravinsky at his Funkiest! Love it. A personal fav. Great Melodies and Counterpoint.
Listening to Stravinsky makes me want to learn to play the bassoon.

I love this piece.
Excellent recording of this stellar, gorgeous modern construction.

Masterpiece

Well, in fairness to Arnold Schoenberg (whose early pre-atonal works are dead-gorgeous), Stravinsky did go Full Serialism at the end of his life.
@@Snardbafulator I agree completely. Pre-atonal Schoenberg is "dead-gorgeous."
I was listening to some Schoenberg before I listened to this

This is Stravinsky - reminds me of Petrouchka and the Soldier's Tale.
