Yeah, the sound and phrasing of the few opening notes by this bassoonist made me listen to the entire recording of LSO from 2017 and it's my favourite rendition of the piece now.
it is even wonderful to see the orchestra from above, as the piece is played. I once heard it played by the LSO at the Barbican in 2000, conducted by Riccardo Chailly and that night it was the last concert for the 1st timpanist, who had played the piece under Stravinsky himself! M. Chailly, the orchestra and the whole audience paid him all due honors. It was a memorable concert.
The Rite of Spring is my favorite piece. Extremely difficult. I watched Ms Rachel Gough Fisrt Basson with Sir Valerie Gergiev you tube. Wonderful Solo! Greetings from Brazil ..Congratulations Ms Rachel Gough!!
This is piece is a laser and nuclear bomb at the same time. Indescribable to anyone who hasn't heard it, and everyone who hears it for the first time is completely blown away. I heard in for the first time in 1978 and I am still not over it.
@@cbfedge5593 yeah sure. Most of the bass clarinetist (including myself and my father who are metalheads) that i know and play with love the bass guitar aspect of metal and other genres.
@@cbfedge5593 also that untitled music u got could really pop off. I would have the title be I Apologize, add more to the lyrics and clean them up a bit, and pick a genre either go country depression or a slow meaningful rock it doesn't sound quite right mixing them, and for dear god add some bad boy bass, bass holds everything together by being constant. This is just my opinion take it or leave it but you do you. Ps I fucking loved it and I really hope that you can make more, your extremely talented.
Can I just say, I am truly huurt, that they didn't include any comments from the Alto flutist. The Alto flute had so many iconic solos and excerpts in this composition that I would have loved to hear about her experiences playing this piece. Although I don't know the reason for her absence in this video, I've looked up to all of these Alto flute excerpts in this piece for so long. How disappointing....
That was great! Le Sacre du Printemps is one of my absolute favorite orchestral works It’s important to remember Rite of Spring is a ballet before it is anything else. If you’re dancing in it, you need to know all those odd counts and meter changes by heart. Thank goodness for the 11/4 bar though!!! Strong landmarks like that one keep you on track.
Stravinsky knew exactly what he was doing. This is a ballet about human sacrifice and it needs to scare the audience and the players. It was a piece that changed the world of classical music. It was so radical that Igor could not outdo its impact so his compositional practice took many other paths.
Same it makes metal seem melotically tame, the way they counter the melodies with finished melodies, I wanna learn this piece inside and out but each time I listen to it it seems harder
i would love to find a longer interview with the musicians and their instruments. I want to pick this piece apart and hear those chirps and flutters once they've been unburied. c:
Hi Kat, you could check out the instrumental masterclasses for the Rite of Spring at LSO Play - play.lso.co.uk/#/Stravinskys-The-Rite-of-Spring/video Choose 'Explore Orchestra' from the menu at the top, then the book icon from the left hand side bar for the full list.
I first heard the Rite quite literally over 50 years ago and it remade my young brain. But it was only a few years ago that I realized that the those "chirps and flutters" were quite literally that, as the sun awakens the birds and animals in the opening of the first half.
This was my head-banger music when I was a teenager: I'd play it full blast for fun and to irritate the neighbours! (belated apologies to my neighbours 😅) I'm so glad I laid that foundation because, I agree, even though I know the piece I still find new things to love about it. Thank you LSO!
Do you have a Bassoon fingering chart website link or anything along those lines? I'm not sure if I'm using the right fingerings for the high Bassoon notes and I would like to clarify.
When the bassoonist played the opening... It was so beautiful I shed a tear.
She is brilliant!

Great description and terrific juxtaposition of laser vs. nuclear bomb. Thanks and cheers to you. JT
bass clarinettist likes metal omg how awesome
We mostly all do
@@jj-wb6il no way. Can you elaborate? Whom do you refer to by "we"

This piece 'slays' me every time that I listen to it, great to hear these insights from the players.
Love her bassoon , and his bass clarinet ..

Well let us enlighten you... we could only interview people who were available on the day we filmed this!
@@LondonSymphonyOrchestra I am so glad that the bassoonist was available on that day.

this makes me so happy to be a bassoonist :)

I was also into metal when i heard rite of spring for the first time

@@tcaw8813 if you want some stravinsky inspired metal try out Sleepytime Gorilla Musuem, it's very much not lame
Uma especial exposição de solos instrumentais. Brilhante.

Love this!
The rite if spring v.gergeiv is my favorite .
I have never seen a bassoon crutch like that. Where did she get it?
She probably made it
It's called the Vonk, made by Maarten Vonk. Just do a quick google search for it, they're very easy to order if you want one! :)
Yeah Tom Goodman!... Is that a tom martin bass?
