I have revelled in it: in the recording, that is. Stravinsky holds it was wrong to consider him a revolutionary. He has been saying so in \u003ci\u003ePoetics of Music\u003c\/i\u003e, the lectures which, rather surprisingly, he was appointed to give at Harvard. He marked Ravel’s voice as about the only wise one, concerning the \u003ci\u003eRite\u003c\/i\u003e: its novelty lay not in the technical apparatus or orchestration, but in “the musical entity.” But was it not still revolutionary? Scarcely. It just went farther.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI did not think recording could do so much for him, and be so enjoyable. Late though it is in the day, I could write an essay on the work: yet must not, now. Everything has its background; few compositions have seemed to owe so little to the past. Never was such a riot of rhythm. Sometimes rhythmic life seems drowning in ingenuity, complexity. The leaflet must be referred to for pointers regarding the thirteen sections (first movement, \u003ci\u003eFertility of Earth\u003c\/i\u003e, seven; second, \u003ci\u003eSacrifice\u003c\/i\u003e, six). Go primitive, and enjoy the riot-rousing skill of 1913 (Diaghilev’s ballet, conducted by Monteux: Nijinsky’s choreography). The ideas are trivial: I still mildly resent that. But the thing is full of interest, however you hear it: as a queer upthrust of primitivism; as an intense instigation of balletic ingenuity, in methods since copied \u003ci\u003ead nauseum\u003c\/i\u003e; as a type of nerve-music that builds up to amazing \u003ci\u003ecrescendi \u003c\/i\u003ebeyond anything else I know; as a probably complex manifestation of an exile’s thoughts, and perhaps a Russian’s frustrations. It could mean many things to different people. To a few it may seem nearly as old-fashioned as the Mendelssohn. Looking on such things now more philosophically, with half a lifetime between, we perhaps tend to be a bit \u003ci\u003eblasé\u003c\/i\u003e. I should like to see what young people, new to it, make of the \u003ci\u003eRite\u003c\/i\u003e. Does it seem more real, natural, to them than to us oldsters? Do they take to it more easily than we did thirty-five years ago? Do they tend to read into it more than we did? Are they more sympathetic to these ancients, with their pathetic rites and misinterpretations of nature? How does it all strike the young? We ought to have a Gallup poll.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs to the meaning, the labels give the incidents, and we can all use our own brand of imagination to back up the composer’s. I wish he had used more and better themes, but perhaps their poverty is part of the depictive scheme. The orchestration is fascinating, and its reproduction on the discs reaches a very high level of finesse and power.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eW.R.A.\u003c\/b\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Gramophone\u003c\/i\u003e, March 1948\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese three recordings date from 1946 (\u003ci\u003eThe Rite of Spring\u003c\/i\u003e) and 1956 (the \u003ci\u003eFirebird \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eNightingale\u003c\/i\u003e) – a decade apart yet also a revolution in recording technology apart. In 1946, recordings were cut direct to twelve-inch 78rpm discs for pressing onto noisy shellac, one four-minute side at a time. Ten years later, a reel of tape gave you thirty minutes or so of continuous high-fidelity, low-noise recording, to be pressed ultimately onto the comparatively silent sides of long-playing vinyl records.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis remastering aims to bridge that technological gap as well as modern digital restoration techniques can allow. These recordings share the same orchestra, conductor – and composer, whose style at the time produced works which share many sonic similarities – so my aim should surely be to even out any stark differences in sound. The Decca recording of 1946 had the benefit of their work on “Full Frequency Range Recording” (\u003ci\u003effrr\u003c\/i\u003e), leaving the recording's upper end just a tad shy of what would be achieved ten years later by Philips, and in a frequency range few of us can actually hear. The 78rpm sides are inevitably a little noisier – there’s only so much digital noise reduction one can apply before it becomes detrimental, but you hardly notice this when the recording gets going – and I’ve done my best to shave off a tendency to slight overload in the louder sections.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe result, I hope, is a remastering of three recordings which allows all to stand together as equals, and where the vintage sound is no impediment to the enjoyment of some truly remarkable and powerful performances.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eAndrew Rose\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_cover_thumbnail1_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_cover_thumbnail2_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_cover_download_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample1_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample2_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample3_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample4_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample5_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample6_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab2_labelfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5fFull Track Listing578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab2_typefb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5ftrack_listing578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab2_contentfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 24px;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eVAN BEINUM\u003c\/b\u003e conducts Stravinsky\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18px;\"\u003eSTRAVINSKY \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18px;\"\u003eFirebird Suite (1919 version)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.
