Igor Stravinsky


7/4

Recommended Posts

If anyone's interested, I contributed to a piece on BBC Radio 3's Jazz on 3 last night about Stravinsky's influence on jazz...you can listen again here!

Two pieces I've been listening to a lot recently - Apollon Musagete, which I hadn't heard in years, and one I have to confess was new to me - Persephone...the second movement of the latter in particular is amazing!

I am pretty sure that I bought this LP back in the 1970s after discovering its existence in a Schwann catalog. R-5997094-1458338842-9894.jpeg.jpg

Is that a piano roll, or is he doing the playing real-time? There's a record of a piano roll he made for The Rite Of Spring that is amazing.

It is from a piano roll. I haven't heard his piano roll LP of "The Rite of Spring" while he also made a piano roll of "Petrouchka." I am unsure if the latter appeared on LP.
