That 11/4 bar is the most heavy metal thing written. Some of these versions are particularly savage, almost like: the virgin's gonna die, all the maidens are gonna die, the whole village is gonna die... 😱😱😱😱
He's being very defensive. You'd think he feels threatened for some reason. Heavy metal is a fair description, if anachronistic. But Stravinsky was clearly out to kick ass in this one.
@Alex Tejada Actually, you are right. Comparing any western classical music, with it's history of male and white supremacy, it's elitism and it's completely outdated, ancient restrictions of limited theory can, under no view point, compare to the rich culture the americas have produced over the years. And to think that so much wonderful art has come from there, even through the hardships of colonialisation, slavery, segragation, exploitation, apropriation etc. is truly a pathetic comparison to this ok'ish piece of ballet. The artform just struggles to bring this emotion to the stage per se. It really isn't stravinsky's fault, he just was born in the wrong century, in the wrong country. But who knows, maybe some metal bands listened to his music and were inspired to do better....
Had the pleasure of seeing Kristian Järvi with the Baltic Sea orchestra at the Elbphilarmonie, ironically also with Stravinsky, but the Firebird in that case. The whole concert was choreographed with most pieces having fluent transitions, composed by Järvi himself. It was outlandish and outstanding.
I wish Stravinsky could see this. To see his music celebrated and performed so absolutely furiously and with such earthly spirit. Especially hearing recordings from his time when orchestras clearly weren't ready for his music.
David Herbert (on the right, who later left for Chicago) is incredible. I’ve always loved that performance from the proms (more intense than their own video from back home). Among these, besides Orozco-Estrada (the Colombians!!!!) I thought Bernstein/LSO and Salomon/LAPO were incredible, with MTT/SFS and Gatti/Concertgebouw also particularly good among the slightly more sedate interpretations (relatively speaking).
National youth Orchestra of Colombia~1:00. The ENTIRE ORCHESTRA is FLAILING, almost out of their seats! Plus I like the thing the strings were doing with their bows building up to the first blast! The power and energy of YOUTH!!
I like the Stravinsky version, you can really hear the rests and the details of the orchestration that are lost when it's played faster. I'd like to hear a modern orchestra take an energetic approach at that tempo.
Although I very much appreciated the collaboration with Gergiev and especially with Pierre Boulez, the first place here goes to the National Youth Orchestra of Colombia.
Yes, their ferocity was AMAZING. I've adored this piece since 1988. Violent, chaotic, abstract. I completely agree with you. Would love to see the entirety of their choreography.
Early days of audio recording directly on to a wax master. Technology in those days was limited and costly. Each performer had to be within 20 inches of the recording device. 100 musicians! Bit crowded me thinks.
Well in fact, Stravinsky was a very bad conductor, the musiciens were just completely lost because having a conductor who cannot clearly lead you in a piece that crazy is just awful
No, Stravinsky just wasn’t a particularly good conductor. There is a more modern recording by Stravinsky done in a big series with the Columbia Symphony Orchestra. Which is an interesting thing, because you see that Stravinsky does somethings very different to most renditions, particularly he spaces the music unevenly. But regarding the rendition there are multiple versions here I would not take over the Stravinsky. My personal favorite is the Les Siècles/Roth rendition.
This is such an incredibly cool compilation! As an HS orchestra director, I'm always trying to get my students to listen critically to different interpretations of the same piece, so they "see" there's not just one way to play something. I will be sharing this with them. Thank you so much!
Thank you, I'm delighted to hear this. If you enjoy this compilation, I can also recommend this (Beethoven) one, which your students might appreciate too: ruclips.net/video/ltzWeNyLWn8/видео.html
To me, most convincing from the rhythmic and energetic point of view are Bernstein, Salonen, and Tilson Thomas. The transition to the last dance in their interpretations happens the most natural way.
ALL of these recordings are great performances (well, nearly all) and what is evident is that variety is essential, so I think it is pointless to say which one is "best". Also we only hear one limited section so there will be strengths and weaknesses in other sections we are not hearing. I must have seen/heard this piece live and recorded at least a hundred times and each performance brings something fresh. Of course the acoustics of each venue is also really important and can sway opinions as much as differences in pace, balance and conducting styles.
I had the pleasure of seeing both Michael Tilson Thomas and Pierre Boulez perform this piece with the Los Angeles Philharmonic during the1980s. Boulez was probably the only conductor in the world who could get through it without breaking a sweat.
For me Boulez really nails it especially in terms of tempo change and timpani volume during the heavy beat part. But Boulez had the advantage of being one of Stravinsky's best friend and spent much time with him so it makes sense he could really capture what the maestro wanted.
Thank you so much for this, my favorite orchestral piece. I had the pleasure (and frustration) of singing under Stravinsky (Symphony of Psalms) a million decades ago & found him a really confusing conductor. It was so interesting to see those same head-scratchers in the Stravinsky conducted piece. His other recordings of the same pieces often really differ from year to year…almost as though he’s making edits to his own music throughout his long career. No matter. Le Sacre changed music, dance & theater forever & I love him for this.
I understand that Stravinsky presented the piece to the head of the Paris Music Conservatory (or something along those lines) in a piano reduction played by him and Claude Debussy.
Stravinsky made even the most odd time signatures sound like a horror film. 11/4 is something you don't really see, but it's evident here. 11 quarter notes, one huge dynamic. Great job to these orchestras (and pianists)! :)
Loved Mikko Franck. The frantic tempo makes it feel like you can’t catch a full deep breath, which I feel really adds to the experience of the listener. It’s like 11 aural slaps to the face lol
Get it on. Bang a gong (or whatever else you can find) but whatever you do, don’t miss this amazing collage of/homage to this breathtaking masterpiece. Fasten your seat belt…it’s going to be a bumpy ride.
Thanks for the interesting comparison. My previous favorite performances were Gergiev and Dudamel, and after a blind listen, probably still are. Going to have to check out Esa-Pekka Salonen's full recording now though, so cohesive!
Thank you for putting together this marvelous compilation, illustrating the different approaches to this, the most shocking piece of music ever composed! [my opinion there!!] Loved it! Of course, having been first exposed to the Rite of Spring through Disney's Fantasia [1940] I envisioned the arrival of the Tyrranosaurus Rex!
What a splendid comparison, thank you. I suppose it was the poor recording quality in 1928, but the Stravinsky version was the least satisfactory. His timing just seemed wrong..... but he should know! For me, it has to be the Bernstein/LSO version which crackles with life.
How can you say Stravinsky itself timing is wrong. The guy conceived the piece in thr first place. Maybe it's you that are too used with faster interpretations.
@@2piee He became a better one over the years, but never a great one, even for his own works. The irony of this slow 1929 performance is that later on he was always urging musicians to play his compositions at a faster tempo, crisp and dry, and complained that most conductors played them too slow. So this laggard first recording of the Rite is entirely due to the technical shortcomings of the players he had to work with. His earlier programming of the piece on piano rolls uses a faster tempo than we are used to hearing, especially in the closing Sacrificial Dance, which runs at nearly twice the speed customarily used in 20C recordings, including the composer's own! He couldnt play it as fast as he wanted to (no one could at the time) but he could program it mechanically for posterity and all top orchestras can now perform it as Stravinsky originally heard it in his head.
I watched all of these; saw one where the conductor was actually helpful, especially in the 11/4, conducting small precise beats, with no grandstanding. Looked to see who it was, and it was you, CB.
Nice! I love this, so much passion! also, I promise myself to never, ever downplay the bass drum again! I love it, who cares if it's the most simple of instruments, it also has a lot of boom!!!
Salonen with the LA Phil will always be the definitive play through for me. It’s great to see so many interpretations - but no one nails the transition as smoothly, and maintains the rhythm’s urgency. While Mikko plays at an exciting speed, I can’t help but feel such speed lacks a nuance or gets ahead of itself. Slower interpretations like Bernstein, while powerful and dramatic, lack the energy (brought on by such large breaks) to invest me.
from a conductor. Stravinsky takes it the slowest, and much like the printed score, a conductor must start there. It seems the later the recordings the faster it gets. Roth is going to miss his train. Oddly, when Stravinsky did it again in 1961 he was more middle of the road tempo. I certainly believe in 1929 he could at least have gotten the tempo he wanted, even with his bad technique and a struggling orchestra. And he uses the score, but his head is not in it like some here. That said, it remains concert music and is not really understood outside of the choreography. It was written as a collaboration and it all of a sudden makes sense - concerts are just a partial view.

Not this early one for sure. As noted by the previous reply, the musicians couldnt handle it. Stravinsky recorded it three more times with better orchestras & better technology. But perhaps the best document of the way he originally wanted it to sound is the pianola roll he programmed in the early 1920s, only a decade after its composition, in which the basic lines are clearer, given the lack of instrumental color, and most significantly it employs a much faster tempo in the closing Dance Sacral, almost double the speed at which it was customarily played for decades, including in the composers own versions (it was challenging enough for musicians in the slower rendition). The breakneck tempo on the rolls was first adopted for performance by Benjamin Zander in his 1990 recording with the Boston Philharmonic, with truly sensational results.

The Colombia youth orchestra take the cake - they are incredible
@ 0:56 I don't ever recall seeing choreography in an orchestra before. After the shock, I kind of liked it.
Added to the strangeness

The whole concert was choreographed with most pieces having fluent transitions, composed by Järvi himself. It was outlandish and outstanding.
love it. like a drum corps visual, but far far far less cheesy and meatheady.
Also the Colombian Orchestra played the Rite of Spring a semitone higher than normal
Stravinsky conducting: *I'm just vibing*
I wish Stravinsky could see this. To see his music celebrated and performed so absolutely furiously and with such earthly spirit. Especially hearing recordings from his time when orchestras clearly weren't ready for his music.
He did : he only passed in the early 70's.
Those staccato timpani mallets in San Francisco are intense! Also, the Colombia Youth Orchestra is rocking it!

Hearing Stravinsky as conductor is very cool.
And also very ear raping because this performance was awful
yea but stranvinsky isn’t very good as a conductor
@@camillehocde8195 : mostly due to terrible recording gear from 1929.

Jesus H Christ, the Bernstein one takes it on the visuals. Terrifying.
The silence at 6:53 is like no other, I feel some of the others seem to rush straight into the section.
I could watch orchestra clip comparisons all day. Faves were Bernstein and Salonen

@@metalheadjock3513 Yes, the visual element would certainly be an exciting additional aspect in the live concert- situation.
Yes, sir!
Bernstein is the man.....he just went into the craziness of the piece with no fear 😁
It's a bit sad that Stravinsky's recording is the worst among these. He probably couldn't get what he wanted from the orchestras of that time :(
The orchestral instrument of that age was what he know. Maybe, all others just run and not feel "the glorification".
Early days of audio recording directly on to a wax master.
Technology in those days was limited and costly.
Each performer had to be within 20 inches of the recording device.

Pity there’s no performance with Seiji Ozawa in this compilation. IMO the performance with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra is the absolute pinnacle.
It really is! Best recording ever of TROS!

Martha Argerich kicking ass on the piano affixes her goddess status.

I consider this piece of music to be a bass drum and alto flute concerto
Roth's was a surprise; the "Zäsur" before the 11/4, and the Tam-tam glissando, wich for once was audible!
Sacre bleu! The story of the premiere is as wild, crazy and deliciously weird as the bombastic, rambunctious music itself!
Colombia, Les Siècles and London for me it's the three best !
Bellissimo e intelligentissimo video. GRAZIE!!!!!
And the winner is....Esa-Pekka Salonen, followed by Michael Tilson Thomas, Semyon Bychkov, and Lenny (poor sound prevents his from being on top).
When the music is modern you have recordings of the composer himself conducting.
LA Philharmonic with Esa-Pekka Salonen rocks🤘
My preference is Gustavo Dudamel and the Simon Bolivar Youth Orchestra followed by Orosco Estrada and the Colombian Youth Orchestra.
The youth from the two orchestras gave the most energy.
the rest in François-Xavier's version is so cool!
The Bernstein clip brings out the brute force of the piece as the best. The Roth clip is unfortunately too fast, for no reason.
The faster the better. This part is supposed to be frenzied and chaotic.
so happy I have 11 fingers :)
Thanks a lot !
please could someone send me the full version of Salonen?

It seems as if everyone upped the tempo except for Stravinsky himself!
Salonen wins

Columbia Youth Orchestra - Fantastic stuff!! King Kong is coming for the virgin.
