One of those rare videos where the great Stravinsky conducts his own Firebird ..the Lullaby suite at the age of 82.

  • The quiet contentment of a master near the end of his life, with nothing left to prove to anybody. It's amazing how he maintains total control of the intensity of the music without exerting any energy.

  • This is one of my favourite compositions of all time.

  • Boy, this man set the bar for all those to come. Notice the musical idea that Stravinsky starts @:23 with the WW's and then, the strings. Those 'colors' sound strikingly familiar to music that Bernard Herrmann composed in many of his pieces. One can 'dissect' much of IS music and hear clearly where film composers as: BH, Jerry Goldsmith, John Williams, Marco Beltrami..well, for that matter...EVERYONE either ripped, borrowed or was inspired by his genius! Oh yea, the ending is simply brilliant!

  • Old man conducting like a boss.
