His tempo in the second dance is refreshing and invigorating! I love it!

FEEL THE MAD RUN OF STRINGS!!!! So satisfying. Thank you.

What is this seemingly inhuman desire for darkness that we all possess, that, in a sense, is part of what makes us human? It's so strange...

In general I do not like gergiev because he does everything too fast but I started to listen to this recording from the second part and I found it veeery interesting to the end, and now I am surprise that it was gergiev, and the tempo of this dance of the young girls confirms so.

What orchestra is playing this, and who is conducting? Thank you!

[potassiumchlorate]

@meowkie I believe its the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra with Valery Gergiev conducting.

@potassiumchlorate I figured it was Gergiev. I find he plays the second movement very fast; it makes me feel bad for the dancers. Thanks a lot for letting me know!!! And double thanks for sharing this with us. :) It's a very powerful version of the rite. :)
