Pierre Boulez conducts Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring (Part 1, b)

[MrRambaldo86]

the biggest interpreter of Twentieth century music! It's clear research of an incredible orchestral colour!

[millertime1089]

is this in 4/4?

[cnmaster01]

@millertime1089 Haha, I wish. Would make my audition next month so much easier.

[musicguy119]

Maybe it's just the audio of the recording, but the *chunk chunk chunk chunk chunk chunk chunk chunk chunk CHUNK chunk CHUNK chunk...* sounds kind of laid back to me. I dunno. Just my take.

[meowkie]

@musicguy119 Agreed, this performance sounds pretty tame.

[ShanevsDCsniperr]

@musicguy119 it's definitely because listening to orchestral music on youtube is always going to sound bad, especially with a low-quality video like this one. the audio on this is disgustingly lossy.

@ShanevsDCsniperr

i have a lead which can plug into my computer and go into the stereo so i can listen to this in good quality while watching it

[ShanevsDCsniperr]

@OhnoesJG the quality of your listen experience is limited by the compression of the audio embedded in the video, not by your speakers. shitty audio through a good system is just going to yield a faithful rendition of the original shitty audio.

[Bagurk93]

Listen closely at 1:01. String player tries to come in early :)

[asianpianoman]

@Bagurk93 Who cares bro!

[Bagurk93]

@asianpianoman I don't. I was simply stating a fact.

[asianpianoman]

@Bagurk93 A negative one though! Why dwell on the negative when this is such an amazing performance?

[McSplat]

@Bagurk93 FIRE HIM

at 11:57 the 1st trumpet is off.

[MassimoIncarbone]

La più bella in assoluto.

[HUNTdRADiO]

Reminds me of Jurassic Park. Don't ask me why.

[xerxes52]

@HUNTdRADiO All right I won't

[Gotcha869]

@HUNTdRADiO I guess it's because of Disney's Fantasy :)

[musoderelict]

Salonen's like a bomb explosion; this is a tactical assault
