This immensely powerful and incandescent performance by The Rite of
Spring (recorded in excellent stereo in 1974) is definitely one of
Solti's great performances with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra (and even
better than the one recorded live in the 90s with the Concertgebouw).
The director draws a relentless forward momentum at a fast-paced pace
and, at the same time, vividly highlights all the details of the score.
It is a direct performance where music takes an incredible life with
vigor and primeval force, thanks to the excellence of the strings, winds
and metal sections.
Some of the above temperament can be applied to
the original version (1911) of the Petrouchka ballet, recorded in the
mid-1990s by the same performers, although now savage primitivism is
aptly tempered by the greater refinement of a more dancing-style.
In
any case, a sensational disc with a shocking sound that would have
deserved editorial content equal to the performances (without
informative notes of the works or exact dates of recording). Amazon Tracklist & Credits :
