Works of Igor Stravinsky
Donald Gramm, Howard Chitjian, ...

Sony Classics, 2007

The Bargain of 2007
I consider this release\compilation to be the greatest classical bargain of 2007-a year of many complete issues such as Bach and Mozart on Brilliant classics(before 07). Stravinsky is the conductor for almost all the performances with the CBS orchestra and, though ...
  
  











  



  
Stravinsky, Prokofiev, Scriabin, Rachmaninov, Chopin, Bach, Brahms: Alexis Weissenberg - Classic Archive
Brahms, Stravinsky

Medici Masters, 2008

One of the Most Extraordinary Piano Films Ever Made
My title applies primarily to the 1965 black & white film of Alexis Weissenberg playing Stravinsky's Three Movements from Petrushka, amazingly creatively filmed in Stockholm by Åke Falck. I remember seeing this film on TV almost forty years ago and the memory of it has ...
  
  











  



  
Stravinsky: The Rite of Spring; The Firebird Suite (1919)
Sergey Prokofiev, Igor Stravinsky, ...

Sony, 2004

Three Le Sacres from Bernstein
In the Royal Edition of Bernstein's recordings with the NY Phil., there was a hair-raising Le Sacre dating from 1958 in vivid sound with lots of impact and incredibly virtuosic playing. This was followed by a surround-sound remake with the London Sym. in 1972 as the ...
  
  











  



  
Stravinsky Conducts Stravinsky: Firebird-Complete/Scherzo/Firework
I. Stravinsky, Columbia Symphony Orchestra

Sony, 1990

The Definitive "Firebird"!!
There are numerous recordings available of Igor Stravinsky's ballet masterwork "The Firebird" however, the 1961 "Stravinsky Conducts Stravinsky" recording available on this disc is one that eclipses all other versions. The recording was performed by The Columbia ...
  
  











  



  
25 Thunderous Classics
Ludwig van Beethoven, Hector Berlioz, ...

Vox (Classical), 2000

You will like this!
I had purchased an abundance of the "Favorites" collection and some were better than others. This CD is at the top of them all. They may be short, but not that short. Wondrous music. I can almost guarantee that you will like this music. Well worth the price!
  
  











  



  
Stravinsky Conducts Stravinsky: Petrushka / Le Sacre du Printemps
Igor Stravinsky, Columbia Symphony Orchestra

Sony, 1990

Primal. Astonishing. Humbling
An erstwhile friend presented this to me because one of my two nicknames in college used to be Petrushka (just a fond, familiar, a la Russian way of saying my name). The CD sat unopened in my car for a few days until a bored passenger offered to tear off the ...
  
  











  



  
Rimsky-Korsakov: Scheherazade; Stravinsky: Song of the Nightingale [Hybrid SACD]
Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, Igor Stravinsky, ...

RCA, 2005

Definitive SACD of Scheherazade - Outstanding!!!!
This multichannel SACD is recorded in the front 3 channels only, as this is what the technicians and their top notch analog equipment recorded more than 40 years ago. At that time the Chicago Symphony and conductor Fritz Reiner were both at the top of their game, and ...
  
  











  



  
Stravinsky: Rite Of Spring, Fireworks, Petrouchka / Ozawa, Tilson Thomas, Chicago Symphony
Igor Stravinsky, Boston Symphony Orchestra, ...

RCA, 1999

Great reading of these 2 works
Both the Rite of Spring and Petrouska are very well rendered in this recording... Ozawa's reading is insightful and very clear... The recording quality is great... Highly recommend this recording...
  
  











  



  
Flute For Relaxation
Sadao Harada, Lili Boulanger, ...

RCA, 2000

Wonderful!
This is a great CD. If you're a James Galway fan, this is a must have. He is, after all, THE GREATEST flutist in the world today. The CD is filled with some of the most beautiful (and relaxing) music ever written. Buy it. You will love it.

Stravinsky: Three Greek Ballets (Apollo, Agon, Orpheus)
Igor Stravinsky, Robert Craft, ...

Naxos, 2005

A Return to the Greeks a la Stravinsky
This marvelous CD presents three Stravinsky ballets that deal with Greek mythology and span Stravinsky's output from 1927 through 1957 allowing us to hear the manner in which Stravinsky continued to grow with the musical changes of the times (if not invent them!). The ...
  
  











  



  
Romances for Saxophone
Michel Colombier, Claude Debussy, ...

Sony, 1990

Incredibly Musical Peformance
In my opinion, this is one of the best Classical CDs ever produced. I listen to it often and I am amazed at what an incredibly MUSICAL performance Branford Marsalis had. If you like saxaphone, I think you will love it. If you don't, I think you will still find it ...
  
  











  



  
Stravinsky - Oedipus Rex
Philip Langridge, Jessye Norman

Philips, 2005

simply superb!
Gifted director/designer Julie Taymor apparently secures one amazing success after another, and this arresting production is surely one of her supreme creations! Adapting the conventions of the seventeenth-century opera-oratorio, Stravinsky's 1927 score marks the ...
  
  











  



  
Stravinsky: The Firebird (Complete Ballet); Fireworks [Hybrid SACD]
Igor Stravinsky, Antal Dorati, ...

Philips, 2004

Analog to SACD done right!
This new release of this near-legendary 1959 Dorati/LSO performance goes to the head of the class. Using the earlier CD release as a sonic guide (the series was originally overseen by Wilma Cozart Fine), Universal's audio engineers have, again, given us a nearly ...
  
  











  



  
Choreography By Balanchine / Tzigane, Andante from Divertimento No 15, The Four Temperaments, Selections from ...
New York City Ballet, George Balanchine

Nonesuch, 2004

out-of-sync problem still not fixed
I recently bought this DVD, and the out-of-sync problem is still not fixed. The problem is blatantly noticeable with "Tzigane", no less because of the telltale hand-slap just before the end of the ballet. With "The 4 Temperaments", it's rather like a niggling pain that ...
