Stravinsky
Stravinsky: Rite of Spring (Decca)
A disappointingly bland and flaccid Rite of Spring balanced by a far more compelling Firebird [RMo]
Piano Music for Children (Divine Art)
(Déjà Review) I don’t know whose idea this CD was, but it was a brilliant one [GPJ]
Tchaikovsky: Iolanta/Stravinky: Mavra (Bayerische Staatsoper)
A marriage made in hell does no favours to either partner – perhaps we might hope for a divorce? [PCG]
Cello Diverse (Divine Art)
(Déjà Review) Some of the finest, most purposeful, cello playing I’ve heard in a long time [BBr]
Stravinsky: Violin & Piano (Chandos)
(Déjà Review) An unexpectedly wide range of memorable repertoire in colourful and personally characterised performances [LF]
Stravinsky: Symphonies (Chandos)
Superb new recordings of the Stravinsky symphonies with worthwhile extras [SB]
Igor Markevitch – Philips Legacy (Eloquence)
Recommended to all collectors of great 20th century conductors [GT]
Bernstein conducts Stravinsky (DG)
A flawlessly played, atmospherically interpreted and beautifully presented collection of Stravinsky’s three major ballets with interesting bonuses [RMo]
