i spent 6 years of my life searching for this. i'm 16. that means i spent 3/8 of my life looking for this. THIS is how iconic Stravinsky is. I listened to it once on a sitcom and I've been searching for this ever since.
@Robert Post Holland Toen ik 16 was (44 jaar gelden) studeerde mijn zwager op het conservatorium (orgel, trombone) en moest hij dit analyseren. Vloekend en mopperend zat hij in onze huiskamer. Ik zei toen:"man wat zeur je toch dit is prachtig".
For people who have no clue as to what the story is it goes like this. At the shrovtide fair in St. Petersburg a magician brings three puppets to life. The first is Petrushka the clown, second is the ballerina and third is a moor. Petrushka loves the ballerina but the ballerina prefers the moor. They have a big scuffle and they leave the theatre. The moor kills Petrushka with his scimitar and Petrushka’s ghost haunts both the moor and the magician.

This is the 2,345 time I have heard this piece and it never fails to blow my mind. This has always been my favorite piece. It is the most exciting, bright, alive piece written in the 20th century. I have no idea how Stravinsky came up with this new way of communicating in so short a time. I know that every player in the orchestra thinks they have the best part--the sign of a great orchestrator. How wonderful it is to see so many experts collaborating to create this amazing performance. There is no piece more electric than this...I know because my brain is fried.
Yes, indeed. When you follow the score with the performance, you realize how beautifully the tapestry is woven together from its various fabrics and threads and likewise visualize the genius and brilliance behind its composition. But how the musicians play the complex mixed meters and cross-rhythms so perfectly is beyond me. I wonder how the 1911 musicians reacted upon first seeing their parts.
23:00 is such a brilliant pure childish part with that naive melody fully embraced by the orchestra and those echoes on the horns rising up and down at a distance. Gives me the chills every time.
After you have listened to all the orchestral masterpieces of the 20th century you realize that this is the prize winner. It is the brightest, freshest, most lyrical and engaging musical journey you will ever undertake. I listen to it whenever I need my battery recharged.
Just your opinion. There is no prize winner among the master composers' works. What about Firebird? Le Sacre? Debussy La Mer? Bartok Concerto for Orchestra. Debussy Pelleas et Melisande, Messiaen Turangalila Symphony? Etc.
Wow! Last night I saw MTT at the Davies in San Francisco, but I agree with you and the others that the conductor was brilliant! I had forgotten how much I love Petrouchka.
Best trumpets and bassoons, clarinets, oboes, flutes and cor anglais I ever heard playing this piece. Wonderful all round. Captures the joy/tragedy of Petrouchka and the fabulous, exotic,russian, playful, virtuoso orchestration by Stravinsky. Still the most joyous piece in the whole orchestral repertoire.
The part that starts around 18:40 ! The percussion is playing in a completely different rhythm from everybody else. So Stravinsky! There's a lot of that in this score & others of his pieces. These rhythmic complexities are SO beautifully organic - they're not forced onto the music but seem to be essential to it. A few years ago I attended a performance of The Rite of Spring and had a seat where I could really see the musicians. The rhythms were just insane.

The energy the brilliant young Nelsons communicates to the ensemble...simply breathtaking. A perfect Stravinsky machine. The force! The speed! The intonation! What an orchestra!
The begining of the first mov. feels like a spright morning rising in the woods, full of birds dancing and water spraying down a river. I can imagine this as the mood of any kind of natural landscape in a merry morning. It could even be the mood of a rising dawn in a snowy country. And it also fits so well at a brazilian morning in a field, a river, a waterfall...😎🤗
I listened to this as an infant...I was horrified by it, but transfixed...surely one of the reasons I'm so involved in music today...and am drawn to bartok, ligety, heavy metal, etc.
Love Stravinsky. First time I heard The Firebird in 1970 it was a Damascus moment for me. Petrouchka was the 2nd piece I listened to. Couldn't believe that such music existed. This is a wonderful rendition. Ecstasy to have been in the audience.
I really enjoy this excellent performance with an engaging conductor. Excellent recording as well. I love the way the broad range of dynamics has been captured.
I especially like the tonal balance of the orchestra, how all the instruments and their unique timbres can be clearly heard. There is a wonderful nuance to the notes as well. All this above is extremely difficult to do by the way. This really is a fantastic performance, one of the best I've ever heard.
Igor Stravinsky would come to Chicago to sit with me at the piano while I did transcrpts of his music. Afterwards we became good friends. In fact we be ame friends over Petruska.
On a scale of 1-10, I give this piece of music AND performance a "20"!!!!! Fantastic soloists!!! "Infectuous"! If Petrouchka is still dancing around his bedroom with his coconut, there is a cure; "Ach du lieber, mein schatz", THERE IS !!! Thank you GOD for Stravinsky!!! I'll not sleep tonight! Hand me my "coconut" poleaze!!!!! "Gesundheit"!
what a brilliant performance! From "Rite of Spring" onward, its clear what a profound influence Stravinsky's music had on film composers like John Williams and Jerry Goldsmith, this is priceless stuff that continues to inform our musical landscape a century later.
5:44 I'm in love with this woman. Saw her and the entire orchestra with Petrouchka in spring 2019 in the Konzerthaus in Berlin. It was a extraordinaire highlight for me as a persistant visitor of classic concerts and lover of Strawinsky since decades. A memorable evening! I learned to appreciate the C. O. many years ago (in the eighties) when I listened to recordings (on vinyl wich I still own) with i. e. the legendary Sir Neville Marriner as conductor. Petrouchka is (I guess I can say so) my favorite piece of music since the early eighties when I was twenty and a friend introduced me to Strawinsky, at first with the Histoire du soldat (The Soldier’s Tale) and than Petrouchka. I fell in love from the first moment. And that passion lasts until today.
I don't think I will ever tire of listening to, studying, playing, or obsessing about Stravinsky's 3 masterpiece-ballets. This performance is stupendous.
I amazed that I have not heard any comments on the most difficult instrumentation and most beautifully performed of all the instruments in the orchestra and without them the whole piece would have been purposeless. I am speaking of one of the most under appreciated trumpet section. Where would orchestras be without them. Shame on the ignorant.
What a lively, engaging, HAPPY performance! This is going on my "favorites"listing permanently! So many orchestral performances these days are so dead and tired. Not this one.
Definitely one of my favorite performances of Petrushka I've heard yet! The conductor is one of my favorite parts of the entire thing. He's so full of energy and it's awesome.
It is possible to be into a piece of music without moving around. I think it has something to do with different instruments. As a trombone player, I always try to direct my sound forward and would never even think of moving around because it is not really feasible. However I do see people who play smaller instruments that don't point directly forwards often moving around. Also I will admit that in jazz playing I do notice myself moving very slightly with the direction of notes, but only in specific pieces that have no real correlation to how much I am "into it"
@@evanwhite5704 moving around helps communicate. Literally all the best players at my uni love when playing music. In flute there are even books that teach you ways to move while playing
While the school of thought that musicians should let the music speak for itself (sing?) exists, I'm with you. Especially as a featured Orchestra, where the audience is watching the musicians. Movement conveys energy and emotion.
If you've ever actually performed Petrouchka, you would know that it is a very nerve wracking experience due to the extreme meter changes employed by Stravinsky. Movements by the musicians may just be an attempt to keep time and relieve some excess energy in a piece like this.
love the hand gesture at 24:24. don't think I've ever seen a conductor do something so cute. and I also saw him resting the baton in his left hand on the railing, would loved to have seen what his right hand was doing without the baton. he's quite expressive. love the frowns. love the smiles.
I adore Stravinsky. The moment at 25:00 is GLORIOUS.. When the Bear enters and the crowd scatters, (at 24:39)...I always laugh. The layering of different tempos at 25:23 always takes my breath away, and is one of my Top 10 favorite moments in all Classical Music.
Beautifully presented! This was my introduction to Classical music in 1970, when rock was at the top, and this just slid in like it was part of the rock party ... thanks for the posting, much enjoyed
@@michaelbauers8800 It's 20th century classical music where Igor Stravinsky brought in the idea of neoclassical music where in that trend, composers got influence from the classical era. Well neoclassicism was used by various other composers other than Stravinsky like Sergei Prokofiev. Stravinsky also used primitism in his music in his much later periods of his life. I am sorry he didn't introduce neoclassicism during the time period. His most famous pieces which you know are the three ballets Petrushka, Firebird and Rite of Spring were all primitism in his music. This is where modernism was introduced in western classical music
COMO SIEMPRE EXTRAORDINARIA LA INTERPRETACION DELA cONCERTGEBOUW,PERO LO MÁS LLAMATIVO LA EXPRESIÓN FACIAL DEL DIRECTOR DE ORQUESTA ANDRIS NELSON,DE VERDAD QUE INMENSO DISFRUTE DE SU TRABAJO!!!!!SABE LO QUE ES Y REPRESENTA Y DISFRUTA ENORMEMENTE SU INFLUENCIA EN TODOS Y EN SU EDO DE ANIMO.FUÉ LOQUE MÁS ME IMPACTÓ.FORMIDABLE TODO!
special thanks to the recording artists. even when playing this piece I couldn't hear all the layers and single instruments so clearly as it's shown here. mesmerised!
I studied this for my O level music exam in 1969. I knew every ounce of the ballet. I would listen to the vinyl twice a day until I was infatuated with it. I learnt all the piano parts for it. and it is part of my youth and upbringing. Oh, when I first heard it I hated it. Ah the perks of youth. (Well I was 15 years old)
There was an interview on the radio today with a percussionist about Petrouchka. One of the questions was about its place relative to Firebird and Rite of Spring; the response was that it falls between them. I had been familiar with the Rite of Spring but until now didn't really know about Petrouchka. Happy to have had my attention drawn to it. Thanks for uploading this recording.
Wonderful performance of the masterpiece by Stravinsky.... I 've got chills and bumps all over... why ? Go figure. Thank you so much Avrotros and TH-cam. You are the sunshine of our lives !!!!!!!

For my ears and feel one of the most beautiful works ever been written!!! Great interpretion here with an extraordinary orchestra and a brilliant conductor and that in a wonderful recording! I have some old vinyls with this ensemble and Neville Marriner and they all are excellent. Btw: I looove great orchestras like here (six basses and all that...) because of the sheer loudness, energy and power.. Just to mention it: Love the ladies with the flutes. Thank you for that time of pure bliss!!! Regards from Berlin A happy listener
This is SUCH and exciting performance! Great orchestra, great conductor. You can't pull this off without every musician onstage paying complete attention at very moment. Nelsons has done some superb concerts with the Boston Symphony.
Haha. I actually had to give a report on this for a music theory class. I posted the comment for easy reference and navigation of the video during the report.
Trop beau. A chaque écoute depuis+ de 60 le Sacre, il est de + en+ Beau : me même plaisir juvénile qu'à la première découverte. L'age venant, le Sacre me plonge dans une création pleine de Vie. N'importe quel Chef d'Orchestre est transfiguré par la musique de notre cher Igor Stravinsky ! Le Sacre du Printemps m'explique la transformation de la terre de Russie à l'arrivée du Printemps : elle renaît à la Vie. C'est de cette évocation qu'est née cette œuvre immortelle. Le scandale de la création au Théâtre Champs Elysées du 13/05/1913 vient plus du public plus habitué à se laisser porter par des mélodies auxquels il y avait ses habitudes... Alors forcément, il n'a pas compris ! Mais, aujourd'hui, c'est lui qui crierait le plus fort, serait le plus enthousiaste. Réjouissons-nous d'avoir une telle Œuvre, dirigée par tant de Chef talentueux dirigeants des Orchestres qui se donnent à corps perdu dans l'œuvre pour nous marquer à jamais du Sacre du Printemps, Igor Stravinsky. Cordialement à vous.
In my humble opinion I think the RCO is one of the best orchestra's in the world. Not mere technically but also regarding musical coherency and sound, the latter which I find incredible noble and warm...the acoustics of the concert hall alone is one of the finest in the world! Thank you so much for posting this remarkable rendition of this wonderful work of Stravinsky.
Truly original,solid quality & part of the new thinking and expression in the 20th century. All the musicians are challenged, as this work is not easy to do well .
This music is pure magic, Stravinsky's genius was different...
i spent 6 years of my life searching for this. i'm 16. that means i spent 3/8 of my life looking for this. THIS is how iconic Stravinsky is. I listened to it once on a sitcom and I've been searching for this ever since.
Glad you found it
which sitcom was it that featured a Petrushka piece?
This is how music can change your life. I hope you never stop searching for the music that moves you and gets into your heart and mind.
You guys really take long time finding things.

I love the smiles on the faces of the orchestra. Brilliant playing and masterful conducting. Bravo.
So wonderful! Stravinsky's dynamic and lively Petrushka is definitely one of my top favourite classics. I love it! Great musical art.
For me it's the same. Stirs me up from deep within and gives me countless shivers every time I listen to it.
Thank you Master Stravinsky!
love the hand gesture at 24:24. don't think I've ever seen a conductor do something so cute. and I also saw him resting the baton in his left hand on the railing, would loved to have seen what his right hand was doing without the baton. he's quite expressive. love the frowns. love the smiles.
I adore Stravinsky. The moment at 25:00 is GLORIOUS.. When the Bear enters and the crowd scatters, (at 24:39)...I always laugh. The layering of different tempos at 25:23 always takes my breath away, and is one of my Top 10 favorite moments in all Classical Music.
Tuba solo moment
It’s a should-be-performed -much- more -often total MASTERPIECE
B E A U T I F U L.....Excellent Orchestra....so symphatetic conductor!
Beautifully presented! This was my introduction to Classical music in 1970, when rock was at the top, and this just slid in like it was part of the rock party ... thanks for the posting, much enjoyed
john-felice Ceprano this is actually the modern era in music
I know what he meant though. What's the proper name though, symphonic music?
@@michaelbauers8800 It's 20th century classical music where Igor Stravinsky brought in the idea of neoclassical music where in that trend, composers got influence from the classical era. Well neoclassicism was used by various other composers other than Stravinsky like Sergei Prokofiev. Stravinsky also used primitism in his music in his much later periods of his life. I am sorry he didn't introduce neoclassicism during the time period. His most famous pieces which you know are the three ballets Petrushka, Firebird and Rite of Spring were all primitism in his music. This is where modernism was introduced in western classical music
COMO SIEMPRE EXTRAORDINARIA LA INTERPRETACION DELA cONCERTGEBOUW,PERO LO MÁS LLAMATIVO LA EXPRESIÓN FACIAL DEL DIRECTOR DE ORQUESTA ANDRIS NELSON,DE VERDAD QUE INMENSO DISFRUTE DE SU TRABAJO!!!!!SABE LO QUE ES Y REPRESENTA Y DISFRUTA ENORMEMENTE SU INFLUENCIA EN TODOS Y EN SU EDO DE ANIMO.FUÉ LOQUE MÁS ME IMPACTÓ.FORMIDABLE TODO!
Wonderful performance by a top-notch orchestra and conductor, perfectly filmed and available in HD. Bravo!
Love Stravinsky, and this performance is marvelous!
special thanks to the recording artists. even when playing this piece I couldn't hear all the layers and single instruments so clearly as it's shown here. mesmerised!
I studied this for my O level music exam in 1969. I knew every ounce of the ballet. I would listen to the vinyl twice a day until I was infatuated with it. I learnt all the piano parts for it. and it is part of my youth and upbringing. Oh, when I first heard it I hated it. Ah the perks of youth. (Well I was 15 years old)
There was an interview on the radio today with a percussionist about Petrouchka. One of the questions was about its place relative to Firebird and Rite of Spring; the response was that it falls between them. I had been familiar with the Rite of Spring but until now didn't really know about Petrouchka. Happy to have had my attention drawn to it. Thanks for uploading this recording.
Wonderful performance of the masterpiece by Stravinsky.... I 've got chills and bumps all over... why ? Go figure. Thank you so much Avrotros and TH-cam. You are the sunshine of our lives !!!!!!!
When a conductor gives a clear down beat and communicates, anything is possible.
I agree. Some conductors (or most) do only one and not both.
+Roberto Cruz II Andris Nelsons is a Boss. Amazing conductor of Russian music!
RATHER, IT IS THE UP BEATS WHICH GIVE LIFT TO THE MUSIC.
2020: There is a big difference in a" Down Beat"in Europe and one in US! It's slower like an
...arpeggio-at-ed... chord.... compared marching band last note from a percussion Drum!
@@blancasusanamariles9891 conductor is a guide not an abstract artist to figure out.
The conductor is super enthusiastic! Such beautiful playing as well. I love this performance.
Господи, это чистый экстаз, на русском танце у меня все нутро содрогается от волнения 😅❤ браво оркестру за исполнение… не представляю, что было бы со мной слушай я это наяву 😅
a swarm of bees and other gorgeous insects feeding urgently on a great carpet of lavender in flower, in furious harmony, creating a wonderful buzz and hum, with rest times, before renewed assault
EXACTLY, Ralph....I've always pictured Butterflies....basically the same vision.
The true story behind Petrushka is actually pretty sad and horrific
One of my favourite pieces of music, and this performance is fantastic.
wow , this is the 1st time i have heard this . love it .
Ya know petrushka dies at the end, right?
Ya
An absolutely wonderful performance of this masterpiece. Stravinsky had a real feel for the ballet! Bravo!!
It's not the orchestra, it's the composer!
For my ears and feel one of the most beautiful works ever been written!!! Great interpretion here with an extraordinary orchestra and a brilliant conductor and that in a wonderful recording!
I have some old vinyls with this ensemble and Neville Marriner and they all are excellent.
Btw: I looove great orchestras like here (six basses and all that...) because of the sheer loudness, energy and power..
Just to mention it: Love the ladies with the flutes.
Thank you for that time of pure bliss!!!
Regards from Berlin
A happy listener
The music is incredible, transporting, and magical all at the same time.
20:57 Afterwards at the shrovetide fair is my favorite part in the whole ballet, its just so uplifting.
Wie thaxkekeno (vorhaben oder tiefgruendig) und guenstig die Musik ist, Leuten sollen erkennen; es geniessen!
bellissima esecuzione.una dellecomposizioni piu belle del novecento.grande stravinsky
I love stravinsky, intervallic harmony awesome.
thank you for posting this, Stravinsky's music is what got me into classical when I was younger and has remained my favorite composer since
Exectly the same with me. Now I'm 14yo and the first piece I've ever heard was le sacre du printemps 2 years ago.
This is SUCH and exciting performance! Great orchestra, great conductor. You can't pull this off without every musician onstage paying complete attention at very moment. Nelsons has done some superb concerts with the Boston Symphony.
Got to love the conductor's face at 6:54!
A superb interpretation by a great orchestra and conductor! Loved it!!
6:59 - Diatonic
10:00 - Clarinets (volume up)
13:37 - Piano
20:03 - Strings
Are you reporting every time you hear the Petrushka Chord?
Haha. I actually had to give a report on this for a music theory class. I posted the comment for easy reference and navigation of the video during the report.
James Kurz thank you, i'm doing a project on this as well lol
Trop beau. A chaque écoute depuis+ de 60 le Sacre, il est de + en+ Beau : me même plaisir juvénile qu'à la première découverte. L'age venant, le Sacre me plonge dans une création pleine de Vie. N'importe quel Chef d'Orchestre est transfiguré par la musique de notre cher Igor Stravinsky ! Le Sacre du Printemps m'explique la transformation de la terre de Russie à l'arrivée du Printemps : elle renaît à la Vie. C'est de cette évocation qu'est née cette œuvre immortelle. Le scandale de la création au Théâtre Champs Elysées du 13/05/1913 vient plus du public plus habitué à se laisser porter par des mélodies auxquels il y avait ses habitudes... Alors forcément, il n'a pas compris ! Mais, aujourd'hui, c'est lui qui crierait le plus fort, serait le plus enthousiaste. Réjouissons-nous d'avoir une telle Œuvre, dirigée par tant de Chef talentueux dirigeants des Orchestres qui se donnent à corps perdu dans l'œuvre pour nous marquer à jamais du Sacre du Printemps, Igor Stravinsky.
Cordialement à vous.
@@bernarddeleville5796 Celle-ci est l'execution (dans plusieurs sens) de Petrouchka et non pas le Sacre...je regrette...
My fav Stravinsky piece! It is cheerful, funny, scary...I just love it :)
Stravinski was a genious without any doubt
Brilliant performance, Stravinsky's Petrouchka are spetacular here !
In my humble opinion I think the RCO is one of the best orchestra's in the world. Not mere technically but also regarding musical coherency and sound, the latter which I find incredible noble and warm...the acoustics of the concert hall alone is one of the finest in the world! Thank you so much for posting this remarkable rendition of this wonderful work of Stravinsky.
I can only fully subscribe this statement!!!
Good thing that the RCO is widely recognized as one of the world's best orchestras, not just you.
Truly original,solid quality & part of the new thinking and expression in the 20th century. All the musicians are challenged, as this work is not easy to do well .
That tuba solo is remarkable
The extraordinary shimmering section starting at 20:55 is miraculous beyond words .. like the sounds of the glowing Universe
Todo es magnífico. Quiero destacar la realización televisiva. Las cámaras están siempre donde deben estar.
Tambourine dropped on floor and the highest echelon of music is a place where Stravinsky was. Melody superfluous to requirements .
