The Rite of Spring, Part II (The Sacrifice). Robert Craft & London Symphony Orchestra. The Nightingale, Scene 2 (The Porcelain Palace of the Chinese Emperor). Robert Craft & Philharmonia Orchestra.

Composer: Igor Fyodorovich Stravinsky (June 17, 1882 – April 6, 1971) Orchestra: New York Philharmonic Orchestra (1958) conducted by Leonard Bern stein Part.

Not only was Craft Stravinsky's musical amanuensis for the last 20 years of his life, he later became a superb conductor in his own right and the combination in his mentor's music is unbeatable. In this 1995 recording of the 1947 version Le Sacre du printemps with the London Symphony, Craft turns in a performance more about rhythm than harmony and more about mass than color, but a performance that nevertheless captures the work's barbaric musical aesthetic.

Stravinsky's orchestral palette, different and distinctive in every work, is never more exotically colourful than in his one act opera The Nightingale, which is a virtual catalogue of avian imitations. The Rite of Spring (1913). 1. Part I (Adoration of the Earth): Introduction. 2. Part I (Adoration of the Earth): The Augurs of Spring, Dances of the Young Girls. 3. Part I (Adoration of the Earth): Ritual of Abduction. 4. Part I (Adoration of the Earth): Spring Rounds.

Stravinsky: The Rite of Spring - The Nightingale. I was very interested to hear this version of the Rite of Spring recorded in 1995 by the London Symphony Orchestra and Stravinsky specialist Robert Craft. It was originally made for the Koch label but reissued by NAXOS in 2005. In my opinion it's in a different league compared to Craft's other version of The Rite of Spring which he did with the Philharmonia for NAXOS in 2007.
