Structure in four tableaux.
Episodes:
Tableau I: The Shrovetide Fair
[Introduction]
A group of Drunken Revelers passes, dancing
The Master of Ceremonies entertains the Crowd from his booth above
An Organ-Grinder appears in the Crowd with a [woman] Dancer
The Organ-Grinder begins to play
The Dancer dances, beating time on the triangle
At the other end of the stage a Music Box plays, another [woman] Dancer dancing around it.
The first Dancer plays the triangle again
The Organ and Music Box stop playingg; the Master of Ceremonies resumes his pitch
The Merry Group returns
Two Drummers, stepping up in front of the Little Theater, attract the attention of the Crowd by their drumrolls
At the front of [i.e. from inside] the Little Theater appears the Old Magician.
The Magic Trick
The Magician plays the flute
The curtain of the Little Theater opens and the Crowd sees three puppets: Petrushka (Guignol), a Moor, and a Ballerina
The Magician brings them to life by touching them lightly with his flute.
Russian Dance
Petrushka, the Moor, and the Ballerina suddenly begin to dance, to the great astonishment of the Crowd
Darkness, the Curtain falls
Tableau II: Petrushka's Room
As the Curtain rises, the door to Petrushka's room opens suddenly; a foot kicks him onstage; Petrushka falls and the door closes again behind him
Petrushka's curses
The Ballerina enters
The Ballerina leaves
Petrushka's despair
Darkness. Curtain.
Tableau III: The Moor's Room
[Introduction]
The Moor dances
Appearance of the Ballerina
Dance of the Ballerina (cornet in hand)
Waltz (The Ballerina and the Moor)
The Moor and the Ballerina prick up their ears
Appearance of Petrushka
The Fight between the Moor and Petrushka. The Ballerina faints.
The Moor throws Petrushka Out. Darkness. Curtain.
Tableau IV: The Shrovetide Fair (Toward Evening)
[Introduction]
The Wet-Nurses' Dance
A Peasant enters with a Bear. Everyone scatters.
The Peasant plays the pipe. The Bear walks on his hind feet.
The Peasant and the Bear leave.
A Reveling Merchant and two Gypsy Women Enter. He irresponsibly amuses himself by throwing bank notes to the Crowd.
The Gypsy Women dance. The Merchant plays the accordion.
The Merchant and the Gypsies leave
Dance of the Coachmen and the Grooms
The Wet-Nurses dance with the Coachmen and the Grooms
The Mummers
The Devil (Mummer) induces the Crowd to frolic with him
Buffoonery of the Mummers (Goat and Pig)
The Mummers and the Maskers dance
The rest of the Crowd joins in the Mummers' Dance
The Crowd continues to dance without taking notice of the cries coming from the Little Theater.
The dances break off. Petrushka dashes from the Little Theater, pursued by the Moor, whom the Ballerina tries to restrain.
The furious Moor seizes him and strikes him with his saber.
Petrushka falls, his head broken
A crowd forms around Petrushka
He dies, still moaning.
A Policeman is sent to look for the Magician
The Magician arrives
He picks up Petrushka's corpse, shaking it.
The Crowd disperses.
The Magician remains alone on stage. He drags Petrushka's dorpse toward the Little Theater.
Above the Little Theater appears the Ghost of Petrushka, menacing, thumbing his nose at the Magician.
The terrified Magician lets the Puppet-Petrushka drop from his hands, and exits quickly, casting frightened glances over his shoulder.
Curtain - เพลง
Stravinsky's music is a living, breathing being in the hands of Gergiev and this phenominal orchestra. This music is so demanding and downright difficult to achieve. Here it's become realized perfectly. Bravo!!
King of conductors
I really enjoyed it , great conductor and wonderful music .. thank you
素晴らしいですね。ありがとうございます。thank you😄
Astounding music!
Love this
For those who are curious, this gig was in 2007.
I like this brillance music 🎵 Gergiev forever
Excelente interpretación de esta magnífica obra de Stravinsky. Bravo
as a percussionist I find the bass drum entry most satisfying
Magique!!!
Бравоооо👏👏👏👏🌹🌹🌹✨
Massa!!!
Bravísimo!
Ce merveilleux chef est souriant,sautillant par moment comme sait l'être Seyji Ozawa (pardon pour l'orthographe!!)
Oh my goodness. John Williams sounds just like Stravinsky.
+Kate Hummel
...Darth Vader theme... XD
....and Holst.... and Copland..... and Bartok.......... and Prokofiev.......... Yeah, I'll stop there.
John Williams is very derivative. Made lots of money off the back of 20th century composers .
@@007KayElleKay interesting. I'm in the process of becoming more acquainted with 20th-century music. One of the gaps in my music education. Dr. Greenberg (the great courses)is great at introducing this music to a novice. And to your point, I will be listening carefully to John Williams.
For me the two most purely exciting composers are Mozart and Stravinsky.
Русская Зима,мороз,но уже чувствуется весна с масленническими гуляниями и перименами в жизни России,серебряный Век ну что тут скажешь.
This piece is so far ahead of its time it gives me visions whenever I listen to it.
This is the vision I got just now:
Gergiev comes into the rehearsal hall and announces proudly the orchestra will be playing THE PETRUSHKA!!! All the players aplaud, knowing this will be a project with a lot of work, a lot of practice. The bassoonist comes home to her boyfriend and gives him the good news. They have a very strong relationship and this leads to a very romantic evening. As lust progresses, she whispers to him "don't make me pregnant..." He succeeds at coitus interruptus and months later we see him kneeling to her at a restaurant with a diamond ring and an applauding crowd.
the only version of this that i ever heard was the concertgebouw version...today i found 4 versions..the 2 i have heard are great,very satisfying
Outstanding performance. Just more piccolo in the beginning in my personal opinion.
Yes me too!
Original 1911-version piccolo part beginning octave lower than 1947 version. Propably that's what "seems" to be missing, but it is there.
This is so far the best thing I've found on the internet in a long time :D
(Says the 17-year-old piano and violin player)
aaand I'm back as an 18 year old who is also playing viola in addition to piano and violin... still loving this music
Sylvscats Anymore recent updates?
Still listen to this regularly. Favourite ballet ever, better even than the Nutcracker that I've been lucky enough to play...
huh, ok
Sylvscats More updates? :)
Que sorpresa! solo conocía los dos primeros movimientos y adksdkjs completo es mucho mas sdkfjkals
Great piece but the beginning didn't show the individual instruments speaking out.
The Barbican has awful acoustics which anyone who has ever played there will attest to.
18:52 Trumpet Solo
Who on earth is the French Horn player? This chap is truely extaordinary.
Gareth Davies shines.
Truly amazing piece. Stravinsky is one of my heroes!
My hero - watch him play l’apres Midi D’une Faune - amazing breath control.
More cowbell, but brilliant. Ha!
From my youngest days I always think of "The Wizard of Oz" when I hear the section at 29:04.
Totally agree with you!
playing this in a few weeks, the cello part is so hard to follow
You are lucky to get to play this. I would kill to play anything Stravinsky
Saludos, cuál es la fecha de grabación de concierto y dónde. Gracias.
Pretty rough going -- I love it though. Gergiev always reminds me of Kinski's interpretation of Aguirre -- and I have the feeling the LSO feels like Aguirre's crewmembers as far as his tempi!
Herzog let him run amok. Madness the intent. On this occasion, Gergiev and the LSO were in perfect sync.
Anyone know who the 1st 'Trumpet' is? The younger chap playing the Cornet part?
Bo Fuglsang.
....whereas 1st trumpet proper (the older gent in glasses on the left) is the great Maurice Murphy.
Bo Fuglsang on the cornet - Danish.
Amazing?!!
stravinski es el primo del tío del sobrino del amigo de la abuela de mi abuelo
Love this work, love the performance, but my goodness the balance with mics is way off, especially with the strings and the woodwinds.
I guess it's not mics , but shitty acoustic of Barbican Hall. Everything is played like they are covered with blanket......
@@ediccartman7252 My thoughts as well. As opposed to The Albert Hall whose circular structure helps the sound inhabit the space, Barbican Hall stifles and chokes itself.
@@billding7073 the RAH was awful too before the mushrooms were installed - have played in both , the Barbican reduces everything to the texture of wet washing and the RAH prior to the shrooms was like playing in a very large cave - concert halls designed for anything but actual music. 😉
@@007KayElleKay Love your comment. Great insight. Thanx.
Which version is that?
1911 version due to the larger orchestration. :)
26:03 Some problem with the instrument...
Giovanni Cerana get a life
Awesome performance except for the weasel Giovanni Cerana in the comments section
Is this 1911 or 1947 version?
It's the more heavily orchestrated 1911 version - the shot of the two harps at the beginning is the early giveaway. Stravinsky lightened the orchestration in his revision thirty years later, including reducing the harp to one.
Original, 1911.
29:44
1:37~
1:40
Trumpets on the Cornet parts? Head buried in the score? Band on auto-pilot?
The LSO is NEVER on autopilot - what a truly uneducated remark .
The only difference between the cornet and the trumpet is the conical bore versus the cylindrical bore and a slightly warmer, fuzzier tone from the cornet - cornets are generally used in brass bands and marching bands , not symphony orchestras . The 1947 version of this isn’t scored for the cornet- I think you should bore off personally .
@@007KayElleKaythe ballerinas dance was super sloppy. 4 missed concert fs, losing time, and just sloppy, fuzzy articulations all around, def autopilot there.
1:39 , 7:21 , 13:04 , 13:48
:23 "choreographed by fucking" ??? how crass of the announcer to slip in such foul language, i was shocked and disappointed. music was aight.
I presume you are joking? Her pronunciation of Fokine is correct.
Pathetic comment. "music was aight." What does that mean?
Obviously a question of misunderstanding of the British-English dialect, compounded by another misunderstanding of the choreographer's name [Mikhaíl Mikháylovich] Fókin. The surname needs the 'o', as being stressed, to be pronounced as in Horn; the (unstressed) i as 'ee'. [NB, there are absolutely *ZERO diphthongs* other than what are expressly written!!!]
Putin bad, Russian music bad. 😂
