Romão 2,274 Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 I too love Rosewood. His output between 1993 and 1997 is, IMHO, a not stop output of 5 stars scores Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indy4 155 Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 The Firebird (also includes "4 Etudes" and "Fireworks") - StravinskyI have that album. I'm not a big fan of the other works at the end, but The Firebird is absolutely fantastic. Some aspects of that recording are a little iffy for me, but it's quite good on the whole, I think.I just finished listening to it, and I really enjoyed Firebird. I also liked Fireworks, although the 4 Etudes thing wasn't too enjoyable. The recording sounded good to me. There were a few spots where the trombones and trumpets didn't seem like they were completely together, but other than that I really enjoyed it. Firebird Suite probably has one of the most epic endings of any classical pieces I've heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were a few spots where the trombones and trumpets didn't seem like they were completely together, but other than that I really enjoyed it. Firebird Suite probably has one of the most epic endings of any classical pieces I've heard.Yeah, come to think of it, Fireworks is fun, too. I think my brain overgeneralized from 4 Etudes. As for the ending...YES! Those last few minutes rank right up there with my favorite Williams cues. Absolutely spectacular. I was first introduced to The Firebird through Disney's Fantasia 2000, which uses an abbreviated version of the 1919 Suite for the final segment, and that ending is just hair-raisingly good. I think the orchestration is a little better in that suite than in the full ballet, and I like that performance better, too, and it was paired with striking imagery, so that REALLY made an impression on me. I'm glad I eventually bought this album and got to know the full ballet, too. It's remarkably film-score-like, you know? The musical language is very visually evocative, even a little Mickey-Mousey at times, but not in a bad way. I've never seen the ballet and probably never will, but the music creates a lot of really interesting images in my mind in a way that most "classical" music simply doesn't.

Datameister 2,043 Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 I meant that specific ballet. I mean, I don't have any ballet plans in general, but this is one where I'm almost afraid it would ruin the music for me. I'd rather just enjoy whatever vague images my brain has concocted over the years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never seen the ballet and probably never will, but the music creates a lot of really interesting images in my mind in a way that most "classical" music simply doesn't.Yeah, it is definitely very film score-esque. I can see why composers were influenced by Stravinsky. Ah, so there is a difference between "The Firebird" and "The Firebird Suite." I just assumed Fantasia 2000 massively edited the ballet. Maybe I'll get the suite sometime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datameister 2,043 Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Yeah, I don't have any recordings of the suite beyond the edited version heard in Fantasia 2000, but I've studied the score, and it's somewhere intermediate between the very abbreviated (but effective, IMO) version heard in the film and the full-length ballet. And Stravinsky went back and slightly re-orchestrated some things, I believe. Incidentally, I haven't heard either of the other two suites. I should try those sometime.

indy4 155 Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Stravinsky wrote 4 different versions of The Firebird? And there's an abridged Fantasia 2000 version? Sheesh, listening to classical music can be expensive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheesh, listening to classical music can be expensive! Hey, man, if you think that's bad, try getting into early music (pre-1700 or so). Because there's so much variety in the performance practice and reconstruction of the music, you have to buy several recordings just to understand what it IS.

indy4 155 Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Great... Although I seem to be more interested in stuff written in the 19th and 20th centuries, so hopefully I won't encounter too much of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wojo 2,453 Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Yeah, he wrote the ballet and later did three suites, one of which was cut down for the film. When you mention these "suites," do they also include the piano transcriptions he wrote? I bought the Firebird solo piano transcription -- it's not bad, but the Naxos CD volume was way too low, so I boosted it on the files I ripped. I also know of a duet piano transcription.

Datameister 2,043 Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 I believe all the suites I was referring to are still orchestral, so those piano versions would a whole 'nother thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
