Beautifully filmed orchestral performance of this underappreciated masterpiece. Thank you for posting. Hope to see a complete ballet performance from Russia on TH-cam someday.
Interesting performance. I have noticed before (Agon, Mariinsky Orch) that Russian orchestras have a real hard time getting into the idiom of Stravinsky's post-thirties, American works. They keep trying to bend it back to its Russian roots, whereas I.S. wanted it dry and clipped. You can hear the way the horns want to go Swan Lake.
It is very challenging for a harpist to play these parts which are often marked sec. He wanted the sound of each individual string, but not the resonance of the whole instrument, so a degree of muffling is required. Listen to Cynthia Otis play it, in the NYCB Orchestra, she was the authority on the part. It is a concertante part for harp, very rare in Stravinsky's oeuvre.
Какое редкое произведение! Великолепно!!! Подскажите, пожалуйста, где это было исполнено? Попасть на Петрушку, Аполон мусагет или Орфея - мечта! Буду искать билеты именно в этом месте
Все ругают так называемые неоклассические произведения Стравинского. По моему этот балет прекрасен. Его мог написать почти кто угодно. Это было бы по силам Прокофьеву или Равелю( музыка мелодичная и красивая) . Местами ощущается экономия оркестра , но он всё равно не звучит бедно из за достаточного тембрального разнообразия. Недооценненная работа.
No. Prokofiev's music lurches along, and Ravel could not write such dry music. This is uniquely Stravinsky, like his Symphony in Three Movements, which also has a concertante harp part.
what makes you think so? Stravinsky composed Orpheus almost measure for measure to suit Balanchine's requirements. The ballet features a huge lyre prop. The harp is as it were making the sounds Orpheus is making on the lyre.
@@johnrandolph6121 Stravinsky was a great orchestrator. In the score, at the beginning and end, the harpist is asked to play 'prez de la table' - close to the sounding board - imitating the sound of a lute. It's close, but still does not sound like a lute.
Severus Snape was amazing
Jurowski has good sensitivity to the music, and sense of balance. Exceptional among conductors today.
Why does he dress like a priest?
Stravinsky was our master. This work is perfect from start to finish. You can hear shades of Tchaikovsky if you listen carefully.
Great performance of an underrated masterpiece! Bravo to all!

Do those Moe Runs not know what "chamber orchestra" means?
Why? The ballet was created in New York City.
Amazing performance
Thank's a lot!

Interesting
Even music is battlefield for western people)

Some reminiscence of Pindar First Pythian Ode at the beginning? I can almost hear: Kriseia forminx apollonos....

В Тбилиси играли в доме оперы и балета, но отменили из за вируса.
@@flyaway6646 здорово, а я в Москве не могу никак найти, где послущать это произведение
@@Татьяна-к1в3в Это же исполнено и снято в КЗ им.Чайковского в Москве. ГАСО им.Светланова.

20:50 Walter Piston
Which one of his work ?
I doubt Piston himself would have agreed.
think i saw that conductor in a shampoo commercial
May I ask what is the name of the orchestra? And what is the venue?
State Academic Symphony Orchestra "Evgeny Svetlanov", Tchaikovsky's concert hall
The work - which is full of beautiful music, but doesn't quite make it as a concert piece - is not for chamber orchestra.

Ce lien correspond à l'analyse d'une autre oeuvre de Stravinsky : " Apollon Musagète" et non pas "Orphée" !
Microphones in front of each player distort the actual sound. Totally artificial results.
This is a boring performance of one of Stravinsky's most beautiful works.
The harp is supposed to sound like a lute. It does not.
what makes you think so? Stravinsky composed Orpheus almost measure for measure to suit Balanchine's requirements. The ballet features a huge lyre prop. The harp is as it were making the sounds Orpheus is making on the lyre.
Stravinsky was a pretty good orchestrator so......I think he probably knew what he was doing....but thanks though.

Never heard that one before. Your source?
