"[the characteristics of rite of spring] makes it as exhilarating and liberating as music can be"

Da gracia pensar que el wiro se usa tanto en la cumbia como en esta pieza...

[myinterestingfish]

I thought I had a good understanding of the work, then I saw all the ink on the score.

[VamLoveAndKisses]

I love Michael Thomas! He really brings the music alive. Much better than a stuffy old guy just waving a stick on cue.

[TOHOFIEND54]

I don't listen to this as "music". It's something completely different.

[nalunoteri]

I love this documentary and hope someone would post something similar regarding Alban Berg's Lulu!

I love The Rite of Spring!!!

[tommyk77]

Or even Wozzeck.

Thank you for posting this!! This is my favorite piece of music EVER, and it's wonderful to see people talk about it who love it as much as I do!

[VarimathrasHighlord]

Thanks man. Good upload.

[tonytrilex]

thats the highest bass drum iv'e ever heard

[sists43]

That`s not the bass drum, that`s the timpani, and because they play in the same time, it seams like it`s bass drum.

[kathylayne]

thank you so much! this has been so much fun to watch!

[canuckslou0101]

thank you so much for putting this up!!! i really wanted to buy the series to support the orchestra and everything, but i'm quite broke and also my dvd player got busted... :/

i really appreciate this :)

[droidean]

haha ok. the next one i buy will be the aaron copland one... or maybe the beethoven one idk. they're pretty expensive.

[ThaSchwab]

I've gotten two of them and they're only about $20.00 if I remember. Could you post the complete performance of the Rite? I have the DVD but others need to see this. Also, if I had to choose, Beethoven.

[sonata1992]

I would go with Copland.

[CeDeES]

thank you thank you thank you thank you! I remember watching this program on PBS years ago and I remember searching all over the net for clips.

Michael Tilson Thomas is really quite intelligent in music analysis, I love how he disects the piece for us non musical/ballet people.

If you have any other episodes of keeping score, would you please post them, pretty please?
