Description:
A collection of three ballets by Stravinsky, performed by Dennis Russell Davies. Each piece is recorded in two versions: an orchestral version with the Basel Symphony Orchestra and a piano duo version with his wife, Maki Namikawa. *The Rite of Spring* is known for having sparked intense controversy when it premiered with the Ballets Russes in 1913. This recording is designed so that listeners first experience the disruptive sounds produced by the orchestra under Davis’s baton, followed by the four-hand piano version performed by Davis and Ms. Namikawa, a Japanese specialist in contemporary music. Regardless of the form in which it is performed, the power of *The Rite of Spring* remains undeniable. As for *The Firebird*, since the composer’s piano version is for solo piano and no score for four hands has been preserved, D.R. Davis created his own arrangement for four hands by consulting the solo piano score held at the Paul Sacher Foundation in Basel, and he performs this new version himself. *Petrushka* was originally conceived as a piano concerto, and even when it was reworked into ballet music for the Ballets Russes in 1911, it still featured many prominent piano passages. In 1914, “Three Movements from *Petrushka*” were composed at the request of Arthur Rubinstein, but Stravinsky was also working on a “four-hand piano version” in parallel while preparing the full orchestral score. Although this version was originally used for rehearsals or study purposes, it has recently come to be appreciated for its technical difficulty, and opportunities to hear it performed in concert halls have increased. This box set brings together the orchestral version, with its explosive, dramatic sound, and the four-hand piano version, which allows for a clear understanding of the work’s finest details—a groundbreaking collection that makes it a joy to compare the two.
