Stravinsky: Pulcinella / Rattle · Berliner Philharmoniker

[eliasclarinetista]

who is playing principal horn?

[marr21]

Stravinsky my ass, he could never write such beautiful melodies, he was clever enough to treat them right, thank him for that.

[CookingJames1]

@marr21 haha. In fact the melody itself is come from a concerto grosso by Pergolesi (1810~1836). Anyway Stravinsky was full of such refreshing ideas, indeed!

Love the eyebrows at 0:18.

It's true what they say: Berliner Philharmoniker make music with their whole body. No wonder they are the best.

@noahrbn - cool info, thanks.

Stravinsky's diversity is what fascinates me most about him. His different periods of compositional style provide such a colorful output that one cannot really go amiss when looking into his music. There's Rite of Spring for the modernists and Pulcinella for the classicists. Each style he made entirely his own with his original sound, and each one proves even more that he had mastery of his craft. Not many can compose things so different but add to one identity as a composer.

BRAVO. EXQUISITO SONIDO.

[wPHao]

beautiful



[EdwardWhelanPiano]

Why did Stravinsky have to deviate from the style of the 'Rite of Spring'? He was doing so well.

[jantigercat]

@EdwardWhelanPiano Perhaps he wanted to steer away from premiere riots.

[TravisEdward]

@EdwardWhelanPiano Stravinsky was writing in the "Rite of Spring" style because Europe was obsessed with exoticism and primitivism at that time. As the times and trends changed, his music did along with it. Stravinsky is such an interesting guy because he went through so may different compositional periods. He never really "pioneered" any of them (like Shoenberg and the 12-tone system), but he followed each very closely and did a damn good job keeping up with the changing musical tastes. ROS= <3
