ClassicalRecords is a Youtube channel where I upload some excellent performances from the LPs in my collection. I'm uploading these LPs because they are either not available on CD, out of print on CD, or just difficult to find.
Wow! The opening is INSANELY fast!!!! No one has EVER conducted it that fast before- it works though! Terrific energy and attack in this performance- I love it. As Stravinsky himself once said ( about some other performance of some other work) '' You can smell the rosin on the bows and taste the reeds''.
