Product Description

Amazon.com
Baroque scholarship has come a long way since the early decades of this century, when Stravinsky arranged his ballet based on what he thought was music by Pergolesi. Well, some of it was, but it turns out that most of it was by other composers entirely, and we're lucky in fact that no one knew any better--otherwise, some of this charming ballet's best numbers would never have been written! The Capriccio for Piano and Orchestra is another one of the composer's neo-classical works that really deserves to be better-known. It's very entertaining and makes a fine impression in concert. Apollo has always been popular, particularly with string orchestras. Sir Neville Marriner serves up this Stravinsky feast with gusto. --David Hurwitz

5 out of 5 stars Hours and hours of fun!.......2007-01-24

Renard alone makes this set worthwhile. No other recorded performance (including Stravinsky's own) brings out the humor and basic "enjoyability" of this piece.

5 out of 5 stars Prodigious performances!.......2006-10-17

Ernest Ansermet' s refined style was always supported by an admirable incisiveness around all what he conducted. And his Stravinsky still stands as one of the most perfect, idiomatic and extraordinary readings ever made; hovered with that deep vision and knower of the Stravinsky' s aesthetic; Ansermet always to blend power, febrile imagination and musculature, among his best achievements I should remark his Fairy' s kiss, The game of cards, Petrouchka, and the thundering Le Sacre are played with the right balance between abstraction and finesse; expression and sumptuous lyricism.

So you should not hesitate just for a second at the moment to decide to go for this special compilation.

Absolutely recommended.

5 out of 5 stars Ansermet & Stravinsky - A Perfect Pair.......2003-05-19

This 8 CD collection of Stravinsky's Ballets, Stage Works and Orchestral Works is nothing short of magical. Conducted in its entirety by Ernest Ansermet leading the orchestra he founded, L'Orchestre de la Suisse Romande, this box set, while not complete, features all the great Stravinsky compositions -- "Firebird," "Rite of Spring," "Petrouchka," "Pulcinella," and all the Symphonies among others. Unlike most of history's great composers, Stravinsky himself was able to conduct and record his own music in stereo, so why not just get those discs? Well you should, but the Ansermet recordings generally offer superior sound and clarity. In fact, Ansermet was Stravinsky's personal choice to conduct the world premieres of many of his recordings, and Ansermet was selected by the composer to introduce the three famous ballets to U.S. audiences. A mathematician prior to his life as a conductor, Ansermet had his critics as he was virtually self-taught, though he did study music as a youth. But that mathematics background served him well in the studio as his early stereo recordings of everything from Tchaikovsky and Prokofiev to Falla and Chausson are engineered to perfection, and often sound better than the recordings by so-called more famous conductors. But don't take my word for it, buy some Ansermet for yourself and see. If you are not prepared to get this Stravinsky Box right away, then ease in with the new Ernest Ansermet "Great Conductors of the Century" compilation (see my review). You won't be disappointed.

    Album Description

    The second volume in andante's series devoted to Igor Stravinsky as both composer and performer features first recordings of his popular neo-classical works. The three-CD set includes 1930s performances of the Symphony of Psalms, the Violin Concerto (with Samuel Dushkin), the Capriccio for Piano and Orchestra (with Stravinsky at the keyboard) and the "Dumbarton Oaks" concerto, as well as various violin/piano duos with Stravinsky and Dushkin from their tour repertoire. The album's highlight, perhaps, is a 1950 performance of the melodious ballet "Apollon musagète." For state-of-the-art sonic impact, vintage 78s were transferred and 24-bit digitally remastered using the CAP 440 technique. The 112-page, three-language book includes classic photos of the composer and his circle, in addition to an introduction by Pulitzer Prize-winner Tim Page, an exceptional essay by the late critic/broadcaster Michael Oliver ("Neo-Classical Stravinsky") and detailed artist biographies from "The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians."

    Baroque scholarship has come a long way since the early decades of this century, when Stravinsky arranged his ballet based on what he thought was music by Pergolesi. Well, some of it was, but it turns out that most of it was by other composers entirely, and we're lucky in fact that no one knew any better--otherwise, some of this charming ballet's best numbers would never have been written! The Capriccio for Piano and Orchestra is another one of the composer's neo-classical works that really deserves to be better-known. It's very entertaining and makes a fine impression in concert. Apollo has always been popular, particularly with string orchestras. Sir Neville Marriner serves up this Stravinsky feast with gusto. --David Hurwitz

    5 out of 5 stars A very Russian Stravinsky.......2007-04-13

    The performances of these three works, the Pulcinella suite, Apollion musagete, and Capriccio stike me as presenting the most genuinely Russian, especially 20th Century Russian, sounds from Stravinsky's works. I hear more echos (precursors?) of other major Russian composers of ballet and dramatic music, rather than the rawly original 'The Rites of Spring' or the dry classicism of later works. I can't say this recording is worth a premium price, as there are a large number of other recordings of the same works; but there is a full 70 minutes of music and Neville Marriner and company bring out their best for the occasion.
