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.

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".
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.
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.
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.

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 energy the brilliant young Nelsons communicates to the ensemble...simply breathtaking. A perfect Stravinsky machine. The force! The speed! The intonation! What an orchestra!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Didn’t anybody else notice that in 6:07 the air conditioning turned the page of Emily Beynon’s music (principal flutist) and she just kept playing? Amazing!

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.
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!
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.
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 !!!!!!!
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.
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
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"!
wow. pure music. fantastico. every note was nuanced. I heard sounds and textures I haven't heard before. great job. couldn't have been better. perfecto. thank you!!!!!!
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.
love that the conductor shows every beat which helped me see the overall structure. loved the sounds of the instruments. they each were really full, winds, strings, brass, percussion. nice balance and interplay. great performance.
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.
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
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 .
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!
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...😎🤗
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.
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.
Honestly, is this the best orchestra in the world? I"ve heard a lot of world-class orchestras live but when I hear this performance... I can't imagine any performance more perfect or any orchestra more dynamic and responsive. Stravinsky creates the most astonishing orchestral sounds/colors. The flautist!
This music is over 100 years old, and as fresh as the day it was completed. Way to go Maestro Stravinsky! Thanks great and truly animated through performance.
Listening to this is like being stranded on an island thousand miles off GPS and the only stuff alerts you you're on an unprecedented waters are this composition, truly mystery meets adventure, another brilliant russian composer.
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.
I've liked Petrouchka a lot for a while now, but this put it in a whole new light! Seeing RoS and Petrouchka in both ballet and with a dedicated orchestra is way up on the bucket list. The conductor looks like he's having the time of his life. I envy him; he must feel like a wizard. I can only imagine what it feels like to successfully organize so many talented people to play such amazing music. I got to hear the NC Symphony play Firebird, which isn't my favorite, but they blew my socks off! They sent shockwaves through the concert hall. I recall hearing one of the musicians play a RoS lick when they were tuning their instruments and it made me happy.

Fantastic!! Have loved this piece from early childhood - My parents got the privilege to actually see Stravinski direct Petrouchka in Chicago.
Emily Beynon and the rest of the flute section are truly a gift to music. What a fabulous concert, I love the ensemble's interpretation.
What a magnificent score, changing 20th century music forever. Thanks Igor.

I've always thought of Tchaikovsky as the composer that makes sure that every player is having fun.
@@steftrando That is the sign or a great orchestrator. Tchaikovsky was certainly that.

And he was only 29 at that time.

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 .
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.
Brilliant performance, Stravinsky's Petrouchka are spetacular here !
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...😎🤗
wow
tnanks for the idea
@@baby3361 😊🇧🇷 Glad you like it.🇧🇷
what a poetic appr.!

Stravinsky has to be my favourite composer hands down!!
saameeeeee I play quite a few of his pieces on piano, even though they're EXTREMELY hard I still love playing them, though I can't play them perfectly
wow , this is the 1st time i have heard this . love it .
Ya know petrushka dies at the end, right?
Ya
people complaining about the way the orchestra moves while they play get on my nerves... like, haven't you ever been really into a piece of music?
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.
How can you play an instrument without moving?
My number 1 favorite ballet ever!!!!
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.
Je l'ai écouté une fois de plus, un chef d'oeuvre...
What a performance. Thank you Concertebouw and Mr Nelsons
bellissima esecuzione.una dellecomposizioni piu belle del novecento.grande stravinsky
The Concertgebouw is amazing...a juggernaut of an orchestra...bringing every detail possible to this miraculous piece. Great sound, even for TH-cam!
this is a really great rendition of a great piece of music - excellent orchestra and conductor
Honestly, is this the best orchestra in the world? I"ve heard a lot of world-class orchestras live but when I hear this performance... I can't imagine any performance more perfect or any orchestra more dynamic and responsive. Stravinsky creates the most astonishing orchestral sounds/colors. The flautist!
Точно!
This music is over 100 years old, and as fresh as the day it was completed.
Way to go Maestro Stravinsky! Thanks great and truly animated through performance.
The music is incredible, transporting, and magical all at the same time.
I'm never getting bored when I listen to this performance
My fav Stravinsky piece! It is cheerful, funny, scary...I just love it :)
it is sooooo beautiful!love ya Igor,Happy Birthday!idol!
Tambourine dropped on floor and the highest echelon of music is a place where Stravinsky was. Melody superfluous to requirements .
Can´t wait to go to the Concert this evening! I love it!
was it good?
lol
Stravinski was a genious without any doubt
Listening to this is like being stranded on an island thousand miles off GPS and the only stuff alerts you you're on an unprecedented waters are this composition, truly mystery meets adventure, another brilliant russian composer.
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
I've liked Petrouchka a lot for a while now, but this put it in a whole new light! Seeing RoS and Petrouchka in both ballet and with a dedicated orchestra is way up on the bucket list. The conductor looks like he's having the time of his life. I envy him; he must feel like a wizard. I can only imagine what it feels like to successfully organize so many talented people to play such amazing music. I got to hear the NC Symphony play Firebird, which isn't my favorite, but they blew my socks off! They sent shockwaves through the concert hall. I recall hearing one of the musicians play a RoS lick when they were tuning their instruments and it made me happy.
The best orchestra in the world performing Stravinsky with a talented young conductor, already famous in Boston and Leipzig.
