The beautiful body of sound is brought through this fabulous conductor who has this string orchestra in the palm of his hand.

Stravinsky grand admirateur de Tchaïkovsky lui a dédié cette musique de ballet. Belle sonorité de cet orchestre remarquablement dirigé par son chef

One of the best interpretations of the Apollon heard in recent years...👏

Gorgeous and so silky smooth, a performance with grace and subtle power. The more I study Stravinsky, the more amazed I am by his talent. Thank you much for posting.

At last! At last I've fallen in love with this piece! Thank you Mr Harding and Orchestre philharmonique de Radio France: I heard the phrasing and the general sense of the music so much more here than when I listened to it - quite a few times - years ago. ❤

[Mezzotenor]

I agree with all the other commenters - THIS is the performance to beat! Many thanks to the players and Maestro Harding. Radio France Philharmonic, please visit the USA!

[Minabezerai]

Waouh! I've never heard this before! This is Stravinsky??? Incroyable!

[PaulGiloi]

Thank you very much for posting this exquisitely performed piece. So soothing in these turbulent times.

I only recently discovered Harding with his 2019 Europa Konzert. His style is remarkably unique. His Wagner so completely without pathos and yet enormously powerful. His Debussy crystal clear yet as if from another world. And this performance is wonderful, too. Even if neoclassicism is not my favorite style.

¡Qué obra tan exquisita! En verdad atrae la buena vibra de las musas para levantarnos el ánimo y ver hacia adelante con mayor confianza y optimismo.

Wunderschöne Aufführung dieses spätromantischen und fein komponierten Meisterwerks mit seidegen Tönen aller Streichinstrumente. Der geniale Maestro dirigiert das ausgezeichnete Orchester im gut phrasierten Tempo und mit perfekt vereinigter Dynamik. Alles ist bewundernswert!

Real Music. But this piece is SO DIFFERENT TO OTHER BY Stravinsky .

[jadseif]

Faut beaucoup de culot, en tant que Stravinsky, pour écrire une telle musique. "Le Sacre du printemps" a révolutionné la musique au XXème siècle, ce qui ne l'empêchera pas d'aller vers le néo-classicisme. Et pourtant, ça reste profondément original. On n'est pas dans l'imitation stupide des musiques classiques et baroques.

[orchestregalileo]

Quelques passages à l'intonation quelque peu hésitante mais dans l'ensemble très bien. Cela demeure du Stravinsky de salon, pas des plus passionnant. Le néo-classicisme dispose d'œuvres plus réussies et inspirées.

Daniel Harding secondo me non ottiene il massimo da questo cioccolatino di Stravinky.

[JohnBorstlap]

Sloppy performance - the punctuation is played carelessly. If anything, all Stravinsky scores demand very clear rhythmic articulation. Here, the approach is romantic, instead of classical as clearly intended. For the rest the playing is beautiful - just not the right approach. This is the responsibility of the conductor, not of the players who do a really good job.
