'Symphony of psalms', 3rd movement (psalm 150)
Rare opportunity to see (and hear) Wolfgang Gönnenwein conduct 20th century music in a 1988 performance of this masterpiece by Strawinksy by the Orchester der Ludwigsburger Schloßfestspiele and the Süddeutscher Madrigalchor Stuttgart.

  • THIS IS ONE OF THE TRUE MASTERPIECES OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY.

    STRAVINSKY WAS IN TOP FORM, AND APPROACHED THIS WORK WITH GREAT

    RESPECT AND SOLEMNITY. NOT ONLY IS IT UTTERLY ORIGINAL AND TRUE TO HIS OWN CHARACTER, BUT IT IS ALSO BEAUTIFUL TO HEAR. THE ENDING SEQUENCE IS ONE OF THE GREAT MOMENTS IN ALL MUSIC.

  • @johndega CAPS LOCK IS CRUISE CONTROL FOR COOL

  • I like his tempos, doesn't drag like some performances I've heard.

  • @mightyzebra I know exaclty what you mean about the Rite - the horn sounds just like the horn part in the Procession of the Sage

  • @johndega Your comments are well founded, but capitalization is something that you should use sparingly.

  • Wow, FANTASTIC piece of music. Stravinsky definitely cannot be beaten. A good chorus singing it here, too. :D For four seconds or so from 2:25 the music reminded me of a small bit of the Rite of Spring... Seems a little too coincidental... Thanks for posting, really enjoyed listening, as I am a huge fan of Stravinsky's music.

  • I had the privelege of being a baritone in a performance of this wonderful piece at the University of Florida, sometime in the early 70's ! That & being a baritone in a performance of "the 9th" in January of 1975 (same place) are by far the penultimate moments of my musical experiences !!

  • One of the greatest works one can experience. This finale is devastatingly beautiful. HOORAY, Mr. STRAVINSKY!

  • i love it :) our school choir is ging to perform it with the symphony orchestra from the "hessischer rundfunk" in september :)

  • Excellent..
