I'm just here for academic purposes, and I ended up liking Stravinsky's music.

[camilorm]

This music is pure magic, Stravinsky's genius was different...

[CSF-ncfs]

For people who have no clue as to what the story is it goes like this. At the shrovtide fair in St. Petersburg a magician brings three puppets to life. The first is Petrushka the clown, second is the ballerina and third is a moor. Petrushka loves the ballerina but the ballerina prefers the moor. They have a big scuffle and they leave the theatre. The moor kills Petrushka with his scimitar and Petrushka’s ghost haunts both the moor and the magician.

i spent 6 years of my life searching for this. i'm 16. that means i spent 3/8 of my life looking for this. THIS is how iconic Stravinsky is. I listened to it once on a sitcom and I've been searching for this ever since.

[PLkamil]

God bless all people who feel real joy hearing music.

I listened to this as an infant...I was horrified by it, but transfixed...surely one of the reasons I'm so involved in music today...and am drawn to bartok, ligety, heavy metal, etc.

[mattlehmann]

Fantastic!! Have loved this piece from early childhood - My parents got the privilege to actually see Stravinski direct Petrouchka in Chicago.

[kyleruggles]

Emily Beynon and the rest of the flute section are truly a gift to music. What a fabulous concert, I love the ensemble's interpretation.

[RonaldWilliams-rzwp]

Igor Stravinsky would come to Chicago to sit with me at the piano while I did transcrpts of his music. Afterwards we became good friends. In fact we be ame friends over Petruska.

[Saul]

Don't think I've ever seen a conductor so happy to conduct a piece of Stravinsky... hahahah. And then that cue a 8:47. Hahahahah... XD

[cartercrisco]

That conductor was having so much fun! Love it!

[stephenjablonsky]

This is the 2, 345 time I have heard this piece and it never fails to blow my mind. This has always been my favorite piece. It is the most exciting, bright, alive piece written in the 20th century. I have no idea how Stravinsky came up with this new way of communicating in so short a time. I know that every player in the orchestra thinks they have the best part––the sign of a great orchestrator. How wonderful it is to see so many experts collaborating to create this amazing performance. There is no piece more electric than this...I know because my brain is fried.

[notaire]

Sehr lebhafte und zugleich präzise Aufführung dieses anspruchsvollen Meisterwerkes. Das Orchester ist zweifellos eines der fünf besten Europas.

[vKarl]

The part that starts around 18:40 ! The percussion is playing in a completely different rhythm from everybody else. So Stravinsky! There's a lot of that in this score & others of his pieces. These rhythmic complexities are SO beautifully organic - they're not forced onto the music but seem to be essential to it. A few years ago I attended a performance of The Rite of Spring and had a seat where I could really see the musicians. The rhythms were just insane.

[gleniguess]

one of the best piece in the human history.

[fingerhorn]

Best trumpets and bassoons, clarinets, oboes, flutes and cor anglais I ever heard playing this piece. Wonderful all round. Captures the joy/tragedy of Petrouchka and the fabulous, exotic, russian, playful, virtuoso orchestration by Stravinsky. Still the most joyous piece in the whole orchestral repertoire.

[addictfull]

Господи, это чистый экстаз, на русском танце у меня все нутро содрогается от волнения 😅❤ браво оркестру за исполнение… не представляю, что было бы со мной слушай я это наяву 😅

[waltermuller]

What a magnificent score, changing 20th century music forever. Thanks Igor.

[sethdavid]

I love how incredibly excited the orchestra looks. Very high energy performance.
