About Stravinski Philharmonia Orchestra Igor Markevitch
Born: 1882-06-17 (Oranienbaum, Saint Petersburg Governorate, Russian Empire) At present Lomonosov, Russian Federation.
Died: 1971-04-06 (New York City, New York, United States).
Russian composer, pianist and conductor.
Main figure of musical modernism, one of the greatest representatives of world musical culture of the 20th century.
The composer's creative itinerary was extremely dynamic.
Stravinsky's musical language tends to overcome the barrier of historical periods and uses historical and personal models
(such as Russian folklore, Western cultured tradition, dodecaphony, polyrhythms and asymmetrical rhythms)
freely adapting them to his personal creative needs.
In stravinsky's works the rhythmic dimension is extremely dynamic and varied and becomes a structural element of the composition, as is the interval elaboration.
The composer uses melodic cells that are reassembled and broken down with great variety and freedom, the overlapping and reiteration of rhythmic-interval cells creates episodes of rhythmic-metric asymmetry and polyrhythm.
Other elements that we find in his compositions are: the structuring in discordant sections, the use of the octotonic scale and the modal scales.
He has written music for a variety of different instrumental and vocal combinations, ranging from works for huge orchestras to works for small ensembles or solo instruments
Starting from the 1950s he wanted to leave a precise sound testimony of his creative intentions, through the recording of his works directed by himself
A citizen of France (1934) and the USA (1945).

Hi Bob, I must admit to liking Stravinsky's music a lot, especially this and The Firebird. The Ortofon just seems to get better and better, excellent sound quality considering the age of the recording and a transfer at that.

I thought it was better than the CD I own. I feel lost.
PS, Markevich is a great conductor.

Spannende Aufführung dieses einzigartigen Meisterwerks mit farbenprächtigen Töne aller Instrumente. Die explosiven Töne aller Schlagzeuge klingen besonders eindrucksvoll. Der geniale Maestro dirigiert das ausgezeichnete Orchester im relativ schnellen Tempo mit völlig effektiver Dynamik. Einfach atemberaubend!
2023-04-09
wich orchestra is this?
2023-04-09
Ricordiamoci sempre della grandezza di questo magnifico direttore anche notevolissimo compositore.

Remarkable.
But why is it not released commercially?

Markevitch was such a genius conductor- an exciting performance, but the orchestra is surely Japanese- considering that nearly all of the musicians are Asian? Does anyone know which orchestra this is- they certainly give it their all!
2023-04-08
Il m'a mis les poils d'un bout à l'autre ! Jamais entendu pareille interprétation !
2023-04-07
There are no words to describe Stravinsky genius such as this. Perfect perhaps ? Igor is a magnificent conductor as well.

この映像が残っていてくれて、嬉しい！の一言しかない。実に貴重！
マルケヴィチの、この本番ステージ完全暗譜指揮の哲学的矜持。

THERE HE IS...Igor Markevitch...Diaghilev's "new kid on the block" from the late 1920's..now up there in years, but still a MASTER of this score. A thrilling performance....warts and all....happily preserved for all time. LR

love how fast he takes the sacrificial dance
2023-04-06
A master conductor - one of the very greatest.
2023-04-06
That timpani roll at 26:10 gave me life. That's the best interpretation I've ever heard ?????????
2023-04-05
I love the way he communicates electricity to the orchestra. Fantastic.

Grande,grandissimo Markevitch! Ok,l'orchestra non è di prim'ordine,(il 1° timpanista è però vigoroso e sufficientementeb preciso),ma le intenzioni del direttore si capiscono perfettamente..e sono assolutamente geniali! Un direttore mai troppo valutato nè compianto,uno dei più straordinari. Last but not least....il "Sacre" a memoria non è propriamente da tutti!
2023-04-03
At 13:04 the french horns fell apart, it sounded like crap and not a weird Stravinsky chord :P
2023-04-02
Glorious!
2023-04-02
This performance was rather bad aside from the conducting which was amazing! The part that got me about him was that he would always quiet the orchestra down on the alto flute solos which i though was strange but made perfect sense, all the other versions ive seen of this piece have the orchestra blaring while the alto flute is trying to be as loud as possible.

Thanks for uploading.This is a great performance.
2023-04-01
Timpani concerto ???
2023-04-01
Neither interpretation or playing compare with the 1962 with the Warsaw Phil, one of the greatest recordings of all time.
2023-04-01
Thank you for sharing this! Which orchestra is this?
2023-03-31
ma tutto appost?

Excellent sound rendering, excellent camera work. This interpretation by Markevitch is just amazingly powerfull and trully evocating. Thank you for making it available.
