    Thanks to Google I was informed that today is Igor Stravinsky's birthday. So, I've decided to play two of the most influential classical works ever composed... The Rite of Spring and Firebird suite - Leonard Bernstein conducts the New York Symphony and Philharmonic Orchestra's.

    There are four versions of the Firebird Suite. The 1909 version is the complete work (50) minutes for large orchestra. There are 3 suites with the 1919 being the most common. The best version is the 1909 if you want to hear the entire work.

    With all due respect I'm not into historical recordings and have passed on these ( including works by my beloved Vaughan Williams ), I want to hear a sound that is 'now'.

    The 1909 version is worth a listen as it is the original material written for the ballet. It can easily be likened to an OST as opposed to a suite.

    Hmm, not really the point there Tom. Quotes are there for a reason, and that reason is to avoid any confusion as to what exactly someone is replying to. No big deal really, just a forum... but it doesn't take that much effort to press that little button in the far right hand corner of the post you're replying to. wink

    The bigger point is the fact that the wrong version is being listened to. I don't often ever find a compilation to be superior to the original material unless the audio quality is a factor. In this case, it is not true.

    Yeah...o-okay but, um, getting back to the quote thing. You see my point? Otherwise, you're just being stubborn for the sake of it! biggrin (An aspect I pride myself on in actual fact.)

    Look how easy it is:

    Don't take things so personally Tom, nobody's picking on you! If it's concerning the quote thing, then nobody's making any "attacks" against you, we're just asking you if you could do a very easy and simple thing that makes it easier for us to discern what you're replying to. Makes the conversation flow and gets things going much easier!

    BedÅ™ich Smetana - Má vlast

    Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra, Antoni Wit / Naxos

    6 symphonic poems:
    1. Vysehrad
    2. Vltava
    3. Sarka
    4. Ceskych Luhu a Haju
    5. Tabor
    6. Blanik

    I have heard before only Vltava (Die Moldau or The Moldau). The Moldau is most famous from the 6 poems, but others are great too punk. The disk runs about 80 min, so i will continue to digest it tomorrow as well.
