Stravinsky,Solti and this wonderful orchestra… simply fantastic!

[@and7barton]

This was always a favourite, for 50-odd years !

[@eagle1ear]

Wow! Such clarity in conducting, resulting in a special performance.

[@alfredoeme2843]

One of nicest Stravinsky compositions.

[@valerieheinderyckx4506]

Superbe..,❤.

[@user-ew9bi6io7s]

Superb.

[@billrhodes1287]

why the lid closed on the piano? It needs to breathe air and sonority But Solti is amazing interjects and extracts sound from every player/instrument twinning

[@and7barton]

I suspect that during sound checks prior to the concert, the piano might have been considered to be overwhelming the sound balance in some way. Note- The lid hasn't been entirely closed. Maybe its volume has been precisely adjusted using the lid ?

[@SarahLeizer-fc1jq]

The sound of the piano is indeed too subdued in the tutti. It's not heard. Other than that, a wonderful performance.

7 upright bass? Christ almighty that’s a lot of car space

[@classicalperformances8777]

wow.. this might be the first time I see Solti slow down due to stiff technique.! he's normally so energetic....what was going on then, i wonder?

[@mozartmahler61]

This is a very difficult score ,maybe more than " Sacre.." I' ve listened Solti live with same piece,but with LSO. He was concentrated the same way, and less comunicative than usual...

[@renep9968]

He also takes a bit slower tempi then the score requires. I miss energy in the music. I suspect he should have rehearsed more.

[@classicalperformances8777]

@@mozartmahler61 this score is way easier than sacre, actually, speaking of experience

[@classicalperformances8777]

@@renep9968 well, energy in stravinsky is imperative, but nobody misses more energy in classical music these days as that I mostly all young conductors can offe

[@paulybarr]

He always conducted with stiff arms, driven from bent elbows. Look at the famous footage of him conducting the legendary Ring recordings in the late 50s/ early 60s- you'll notice he conducted the same way, even as a young man.

Metronomus best.
