Agreed! And also very tender in parts too. The choral singing is out of this world- so many colours and dynamics and just such great a sense of ensemble.

This is amazing. Incredible. I had heard this work, but not in this way. Currentzis was able to reflect the most primitive and pure sound of the work.

Listen to Ancerl!
Absolutely glorious.
Easily my favorite recording.
Wow! Stunning performance.

How is a performance like this possible?
now we're talking
What is the artwork from?
i think it's just a photograph of teodor currentzis and Patricia Kopatchinskaja and a bunch of others
or if you mean the drawings here, they are the drawings of Natalia Goncharova the designer
I prefer by very very far the version by Ancerl. Too many mannerisms here.
Most Typical of Stravinsky
