A Beginner's Guide to Stravinsky


Recommended Posts

  • 2 weeks later...

As a child I became hooked on Stravinsky Conducts Stravinsky "Le Sacre du Printemps", once listed by the august musical authority Parade Magazine as the most "disturbing" piece of music ever written. A precocious child of 10 or 11, I grabbed on to it and clung for dear life. "Le Sacre" still strikes me as Stravinsky's most inspired work more than 45 years later. His other great ballets, The Firebird and Petrushka, are a distant second and third, albeit great works in their own right. I've never heard a Stravinsky work that didn't merit relistening. Besides Stravinsky conducting Le Sacre, I most enjoy Leonard Bernstein and Michael Tilson Thomas.
