Recensie
Op 29 mei 2013 is het honderd jaar geleden dat in het Théâtre des Champs-Élysées te Parijs de hel los brak na de première van het ballet “Le Sacre du Printemps”. Zoiets had men nog nooit gehoord en gezien: abrupte en bizarre ritmische figuren en dito bewegingspatronen bij de dansers, wonderlijke klankclusters, vooral bij de blazers. Dit alles om een pre-historische wereld weer te geven, waarin een jonge maagd is uitverkoren zich letterlijk dood te dansen als een offer aan de zonnegod. Rattle pakt de “Sacre” qua klank groots en overweldigend aan, geholpen door schitterend samenspel binnen de diverse orkest-ensembles. Dit schitterende samenspel is zeker ook terug te horen in de andere werken op deze CD, de “Symphonies of Wind Instruments” (1920) en de balletmuziek voor strijkers “Apollon musagète” (1928).
Stravinsky: Le sacre du printemps
The Rite of Spring
Symphonies of Wind Instruments
Apollon musagète
Berliner Philharmoniker, Sir Simon Rattle
Sir Simon Rattle and the Berliner Philharmoniker, whose Grammy® award-winning accounts of Stravinsky's Symphony in C and Symphony of Psalms are among Gramophone magazine's Top 10 Stravinsky Recordings (2011), return to the composer with a recording of the ground-breaking ballet Le Sacre du printemps, whose premiere a century ago marked a turning point in 20th century music history. The programme on this release also includes new recordings of Stravinsky's Symphonies of Wind Instruments and Apollon Musagète, another of the Russian master's breathtaking ballets.
Although the premiere of Igor Stravinsky's Le Sacre du printemps in Paris on 29th May 1913 famously set off a near-riot, the work quickly became recognised as one of the most influential musical works of the 20th century. The 100th anniversary of the premiere will be commemorated with performances all over the world in 2013 and, no doubt, with some new recordings. On record and in performance, Simon Rattle has championed the orchestral works of Stravinsky with insight and dedication over many years and this latest recording is an important addition to his Stravinsky discography.
