The Frogman: *****The Rite of Spring****** Fascinating! I think Lenny, as always, never forgot he was on camera. I wonder if the young Germans had ever seen the likes of him? Very good insights into how an Orchestra prepares. I think the flute player was still under stress as they walked out for the performance. :) I think this music almost requires a visual component. I looked, and I have no Stravinsky on CD. :( Several on LP. Any recomendations on Rite of Spring performances? Thanks for the clips. Very educational. Cheers |
**** I have no Stravinsky on CD. :( Several on LP.

While it can certainly stand on its own, it was originally composed as music for a ballet. While the music is often credited for being the reason for the near-riot at the premier, it was the avant garde and very sexually suggestive (Lenny's comments) choreography that was mostly responsible.
