Bernstein. Conciertos para jóvenes. Feliz Cumpleaños, Igor Stravinski. 26 Marzo 1962 Bersntein. Young people's concerts. Happy Birthday, Igor Stravinsky. March 26, 1962
"Best loved by children..." So true! When I was eleven the only classical music that I could really get into was Stravinsky's Rite of Spring because it was so detached from theory.
@realitycheck888 That would be your opinion, but it is true that Igor felt a bit threatened by Britten. But listening to Britten now I wonder why Stravinsky would feel insecure.
@realitycheck888 This seems to be a followup to another comment I can't find here. How did Stravinsky fuck up? I certainly agree with you that his atonal period didn't inspire me the way this one, Oedipus Rex and the Rake's Progress did. And it sucks that Britten died when he did, as his last works were taking an uncharted and fresh direction (or, as Python would say, "was he just an old puff who wrote tunes"). So since your comment seems to be in medias res, how did Igor fuck up?
What piece is this? I've never heard it.

@guinnes2000 Sibelius is great but by 1962 he was dead and hadn't written anything in more than 30 years.
