    I love this piece. Its so clever, so beautiful and so brutal simultaneously. The melody is so bleak. And bold!!

    It has been confirmed by Stravinsky that Saint-Saëns was not in fact at the first performance

    It's not just the music. Stravinsky is probably one of the greatest composers ever in terms of orchestration. His use of instruments outside their normal range is just amazing.

    This is a fantastic study.
    I would never argue against anybody claiming that this piece is incredible and moving. After twelve long years of phobic reactions to Le Sacre, it's only now after forcing myself to understand the piece better that I'm overcoming my fear of the melody. :) Which is a very good thing!

      I thought he was going to make some fleeting analogy from sounds of the skate park to the stomps and bustling dissonance of Stravinsky... Perhaps he was trying to imply something along that vain but never really followed through!?? idk...

    Great work! This was very interesting to watch, and provided great insight in the opus of Stravinsky.

    No mention of Stravinsky being an artist pupil of Rimsky -Korsakov or Rimsky’s son being a student friend of Stravinsky who introduced the two.

    This would've been better with better lighting in some segments. 0:49 Can hardly see a thing 1:20 Why position him so that his face is in shadow?

    What's a "Animateur"?

    • @philharmonia_orchestra
      @philharmonia_orchestra  6 років тому +9

      Hi Ben, an animateur is a music professional who specialises in introducing/engaging audiences with music that is new or unfamiliar, breaking it down and bringing it to life. This is often done in the form of a talk, guided performance or workshop, and they can work with audiences, with schools, and all sorts of different groups of people. The term is used in the United Kingdom, where this sort of activity was developed. There is a good Wikipedia entry if you want to learn more: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animateur This may also be helpful: www.media-match.com/uk/music/jobtypes/animateur-jobs-407859.php There are also animateurs in dance and theatre.
