  • Hay que cerrar los ojos, situarse en ésta inmensa estepa y "ver" como a lo lejos dos caravanas de camellos, una proveniente de la estepa rusa y la otra de Persia, se van acercando mientras se va oyendo los distintos sonidos que emiten una y otra hasta que en un momento determinado se entrecruzan llegando su sonido al paroxismo para luego, cada una con su sonido, se van alejando nuevamente en el horizonte. Abre los ojos vuelvelos a cerrar y escuchala de nuevo. Magistral.

  • delightful piece. i stumbled across it on the radio today and decided to hunt it down. 100% worth it.

    Good. There is room in this world for everyone's opinion.

    The bassoon opening of TROS is indeed beautiful as is the rest. Life is not contest , despite what I said before, so let us both enjoy!!!

  • @cheesemongerinF I have to disagree with you. I believe that Stravinsky's The Rite if Spring has a more evocative sound and a better sonic picture than Sibelius' Nightride and Sunrise. But that's just my opinion.

  • This along with Sibelius' Nightride and Sunrise are the most evocative sonic pictures in the entire musical repertoire, and this is a FANTASTIC performance. The images are great. I have spent time on these steppes in central Asia and these photos brought tears to my eyes. Sleeping in the Yert with smoke from the inside fire, going out into the cold dawn and seeing the endless vista, then a lone horseman coming into view. The totem poles are just like those in British Columbia.WOW.

  • best version ever

  • what a beautiful symphonic poem!

  • Easily the best version i have heard of this masterpiece.
