Fantasia 1940 - The Rite of Spring - Part 1: Genesis
The Rite of Spring from Disney's Fantasia. Stravinsky's omonimous score was supposed to be about primitive human rituals, but Disney's animators took a completely different inspiration from it and decided to tell the history of Earth up to the extinction of the dinosaurs. The combination of music and animation is perfect. This first part shows the evolution of Earth before the appearance of life. Please comment and rate. Thanks. Update: No creationism vs evolutionism discussions here. You can say what you think in the "IMVHO" form. In any case, this page is about Fantasia, Disney, Animation, Art and how awesome dinosaurs are.

Igor Stravinsky: Symphonies Of Wind Instruments (1920)
Netherlands Wind Ensemble, Reinbert De Leeuw, conductor Igor Stravinsky's "Symphonies of Wind for Instruments", a piece he composed in 1920 in memory of Claude Debussy. It is the last major work in his characteristic Russian style. He had just moved his family from Biarritz to Brittany, but spent much time in Paris composing. Gabrille Chanel let him use her house in the suburbs, and the Pleyel company let him use a studio in their piano warehouse. the famed conductor Serge Koussevitzky conducted one of the first performances of "Symphonies", rather disasterously, and Stravinsky later said "Koussevitzky executed the work, in firing-squad fashion". Igor Stravinsky (1882 - 1971): Symphonies of Wind Instruments at the end is a little clip of Robert Craft speaking of the letter he wrote to Stravinsky concerning "Symphonies"

Igor Stravinsky - Elegy for Solo Viola (1944)
Igor Stravinsky, Elegy for solo viola (1944) Played flawlessly by Miles Hoffman. (His channel is MilesHoffmanViola) This short 5-minute work remains to be Stravinsky's only contribution to viola literature. It has been said that world renowned violist William Primrose once proposed commissioning a viola concerto from Stravinsky, but Stravinsky was not interested in the project, so he went to Bartok instead who did agree to the offer. The Elegy was commissioned by Germain Prevost to honor the memory of Alphonse Onnou (1893-1940). Prevost, who was an extremely sentimental man, not only commissioned Stravinsky for this work, but also his friend Darius Milhaud, who wrote three works for viola and piano in memory of Onnou as well. Undoubtedly in the war torn year of 1944, in which this work was composed, there were many victims worthy of this somber token of remembrance. Thank you for 45000 views!

Stravinsky Petrouchka (1/4)
Part 1: Igor Stravinsky: Petrouchka, Ballet in Four Parts -- Even the most stubborn Stravinsky-hater, just like me, will find it hard to resist Petrouchka. Comedy rarely found in too many ballets are found plenty here, and the primal music and the even-more-primal Petrouchka will make you roar with laughter. Or maybe its just me. Its not the best production, but since there was none on Youtube and personally, I find actually seeing the ballet much enjoyable than just listening to the music. The plot adds another deep layer of fun in it. As I said, there should be better ones, but hopefully you should be able to enjoy it at least. PS Make sure you pay attention to the Petrouchka chord. Similar elements can be found that is also found in Wagners operas. Might as well call this chord a sort of a leitmotif.

Bernstein conducts Stravinsky - The Song of the Nightingale (Le chant du rossignol) (1/2)
Le chant du rossignol (1917) The symphonic poem "Le chant du rossignol" is an adaptation of music from the opera "Le rossignol" (The Nightingale) by Russian composer Igor Stravinsky (1882-1971). It is based on a Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale about the Emperor of China and his love for the song of a certain nightingale. Later, when Japanies envoys give the Emperor a mechanical nightingale, which can also sing beautifully, the real nightingale flies away. The Emperor, pining after the song of the real bird, falls ill and is about to die, when the real nightingale appears in his window and convinces Death to spare the Emperor. This recording is from a December 1956 live performance in Carnegie Hall with Leonard Bernstein conducting the New York Philharmonic Orchestra.

Stravinsky - The Rite of Spring - Sacrificial Dance
Title :Igor Stravinsky ,The Rite of Spring - Sacrificial Dance From Wikipedia,The Rite of Spring, commonly referred to by its original French title, Le Sacre du Printemps (Russian: Весна священная, Vesna svjaščennaja) is a ballet with music by the Russian composer Igor Stravinsky, original choreography by Vaslav Nijinsky, and original set design and costumes by archaeologist and painter Nicholas Roerich, all under impressario Serge Diaghilev. The music is widely acknowledged as one of the greatest, most influential, and reproduced compositions in history. It is iconic for 20th century classical or avant garde European music, with innovative complex rhythmic structures, timbres, and use of dissonance. The scandal of a riot at its 1913 premier, caused by its innovative technique and content, made it one of the most internationally well known and controversial works in performance historyThe music for Le Sacre du Printemps is regarded as one of the pinnacles of human intellectual achievement. Composer and conductor Leonard Bernstein, in his Six Talks at Harvard, said of one passage, That page is sixty years old, but its never been topped for sophisticated handling of primitive rhythms, and of the work as a whole, its also got the best dissonances anyone ever thought up, and the best asymmetries and polytonalities and polyrhythms and whatever else you care to name.The Rite of Spring is a series of episodes depicting a wild pagan spring ritual: "... the wise elders are seated <b>...</b>

Coco Chanel and Igor Stravinsky - Trailer HD 2010 / added 6. April
Visit us on www.soapcom.de In theaters June 11th, 2010 Paris 1913. At the Theatre Des Champs—Elysées, Igor Stravinsky premieres his The Rite Of Spring. Coco Chanel attends the premiere and is mesmerizedBut the revolutionary work is too modern, too radical: the enraged audience boos and jeers. A near riot ensues. Stravinsky is inconsolable. Seven years later, now rich, respected and successful, Coco Chanel meets Stravinsky again — a penniless refugee living in exile in Paris after the Russian Revolution. The attraction between them is immediate and electric. Coco offers Stravinsky the use of her villa in Garches so that he will be able to work, and he moves in straight away, with his children and consumptive wife. And so a passionate, intense love affair between two creative giants begins... # Genre:Drama # Director:Jan Kounen # Cast:Mads Mikkelsen, Anna Mouglalis
Stravinsky on The Rite of Spring #2
In an interview from the early 60's by Janos Darvas I believe, Igor Stravinsky humorously recalls playing The Rite of Spring for Sergei Diaghilev whose company, The Ballet Russes, would be dancing to this groundbreaking, albeit bizarre, score. One doesn't imagine Stravinsky to be humorous but this isn't the only light clip I've seen. All these clips from the same interview are thrown all over the internet with no source or sequence. I have no rights to any of it but I'm reposting it with some commentary. It's historically significant and these hacks are just throwing it around without any documentation. I hate people.

Stravinsky's "Les Noces"--the Royal Ballet, Part 1/3
Zenaida Yanowsky and David Pickering as the Bride and Bridegroom. The Royal Ballet's version of Les Noces holds a special claim to authenticity and history, as it was staged by the original choreographer, Bronislava Nijinska in 1966, and documented with much detail. It was premiered on June 13, 1923, by the Ballets Russes. Nijinska's austere vision is one of celebration and ritual among the family and community, not so much with the two principals. Critic Alfred Kalisch, reviewing the London premiere of the ballet, described it as "enough to convert intending brides and bridegrooms to celibacy." As always, Stravinsky's music seems to make more sense when danced to. Robert Craft wrote: "The lament in the epithalamium at the end of Svadebka is as much for the loss of Holy Mother Russia as for the virginity of Nastasia Timofeyvna."

Joffrey Ballet 1987 Rite of Spring (1 of 3)
Igor Stravinsky and Vaslav Nijinsky collaborated in 1913 on the most shocking, ground breaking music and ballet the world had ever experienced and it may still be the most striking work ever done. Nijinsky's choreography, performed only 8 times in 1913, was nearly lost forever until the Joffrey,in 1987, with great effort and commitment, reconstructed it and performed it for the first time in over 70 years.
