This is probably the single piece of music I have listened to the most in my life. I remember vividly how surreal was my first experience of the initial bassoon solo, almost like listening to alien music, and it made me fall in love with classical/orchestral music to this day. If I was able to present this piece to at least one person through my channel, I'm already satisfied.
Stravinsky Really reshaped music as we know it. This masterpiece was a huge shift for its time. It would be a dream come true to see it performed live as he would have wanted it to be done.
Music was extremely unique at this time, you'd be lying to yourself if you said he changed music. Symphony Fantastique is a notable example that definitely reshaped music.
@@WitchKing-Of-Angmar it's not an overstatement to say that Stravinsky reshaped music. This piece is regarded as the beginning of modern music for good reason. Symphonie Fantastique was revolutionary because of its programmatic nature which became a staple of the Romantic period, yes, but it isn't regarded as a turning point for music in the same way as the Rite is. The Rite of Spring was probably the most development in music history since Bach.
@@willmorris8198 But things don't progress better and better throughout time..they have fluctuating moments. in 1720 Vivaldi wrote the winter section of his four seasons composition. in 1938, Vivian Ellis wrote coronation scot which delved into early light music. It's the revolutionaries, not the continuation factor, as it simplifies previous eras into seemingly less desirable because of their lack of music and implies that nothing before him was like that when I can name many.
The Rite of Spring has been one of my "desert island" pieces for 40 years and more. It's beyond my comprehension how Stravinsky could even figure out how to get it written down on paper, especially the Danse sacrale. I've been fortunate to perform it (7th French horn/1st Wagner tuba), and that remains one of my favorite musical experiences ever.
I like the currentzis interpretation the most out of the ones I've heard, maybe Sir Simon Rattle comes close. This just has that frantic energy and precision that makes Stravinsky's music so compelling.
@@ilyagabaud7153 John Williams factually inspired his first/third movie composition from these three pieces: 1- Holst, the planets: Jupiter (1914) 2- Kings row (1942) 3- Rite of Spring (IX introduction) (1913).
This ain’t spring! I got my hopes up since everybody praises this piece but I don’t get it. There are some beautiful passages yet I wouldn’t stand listening to the whole piece
Plenty of detail and insight in this performance but the recording lets it down. Timpani and bass drum sound like they are in another room: the bass drum sounds like someone hitting a couch.
For some reason, I never got around to listening to this.
Thanks to you, I finally discovered this masterpiece.

i really enjoyed it.
This piece is completely crazy, i dont even know whether i like it or not
The tempo of the Sacrificial Dance is exactly what I wanted.
A very good performance. Rhythmic, fresh, brisk and with great attention to detail.
Outstanding timpani playing !
Espectacular, impresionante, grandiosa interpretación...

So this is the music bassoons are always playing
La mejor version que he escuchado
Ok, the bassoonist does vibrato on the beginning bassoon solo wtf?!
It’s soooo pretty!🥹🥹
And it starts on a C5 which is higher than a normal bassoon range. Crazy.
Gonna tell my kids this was Cheerleader by Ashnikko
what an amazing recording!
I would love to try composing a piece like this but I wouldn't know where to start
24:00 = best moment ❤
lol I had full volume and clicked
It's so magnificent.
A bit different from Vivaldi. I soppose it depends on whatever you got pollen allergy or not.
The section at 15:40 could be from a sci-fy movie
John Williams who wrote the music for Star Wars has a very very VERY similar piece. You can check it.

Great.
11:58 why the hell that sound like a Machine
should check out Georges Anthail Ballet Mecanique
Stravinsky’s Rite: A pagan celebration of nature culminating in a girl dancing herself to death.
Disney’s Rite: Dinosaurs.
Oh how I loved it when I saw it in a theater in the late 60s.
33:37
23:55 is Dinosaur battle including trex battle
8:03
I'm the only who things all of this sounds like straight out of the Star Wars Soundtrack?
You mean Star Wars soundtrack straight out of this? The Rite was one of John Williams' inspirations after all...
@@miguelfontesmeira Yeah, exactly that. And i like it
The intro is like the Tatoinne theme song
4:26
24:05
Stravinsky really trippin fr
1:55
This ain’t spring! I got my hopes up since everybody praises this piece but I don’t get it. There are some beautiful passages yet I wouldn’t stand listening to the whole piece
I mean it's about human sacrifice
kapustin variations?????

It's too fast..
