Igor Stravinsky (1882-1971)
Le sacre du printemps; Part 2:
IV. Évocation des ancêtres (Lento) 0:00
V. Action rituelle des ancêtres (Lento) 0:50
VI. Danse sacrale (Allegro moderato) 4:55
Pianists: Bracha Eden (1928-2006) and Alexander Tamir (b. 1931)
I have two recordings of the piano duet version of The Rite of Spring on my channel (Tilson Thomas & Grierson, Eden & Tamir). Both are from 1968 and both claim to be the first recording of the entire duet! Surely one of them is actually the first...!
London, 1968. Reissue 1980
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.
The Rite of Spring is my favorite composition. I didn't think I would like the piano version so much. It actually sounds more deranged and harrowing on this single instrument.
