I do like to have all the scene connecting drum-rolls intact but it's surprising what wide variation there is in this as well. Once you start comparing recordings you can see just how much of a mess it all is."The sound is the handwriting of the conductor" - Bernard HaitinkComment

A similar effect occurs when you start compiling a list of the damn things!!Originally posted by Petrushka View Post

Still, this will serve as a bump for this thread, in advance of Saturday's programme."...the isle is full of noises,

I wonder if this the case or whether the Radio Times is merely stating the year of composition?Originally posted by Caliban View PostTaking a look in the Radio Times, I see the listing suggests that the survey will limit itself to the 1911 version....

I'm looking forward to this Bal.
Currently on a CD buying-holiday, but even if I wasn't I'm content with the recordings on my Sony composer conducting box set* for most things Stravinsky. I do Like Karajan's later DG performance of Rite.
*contains 1911, 1947 & suite.Last edited by Beef Oven!; 06-11-14, 23:24.Comment

Hmmm.... don't think I recall the RT listing e.g. "R Strauss Oboe Concerto (1945)" ... But I may be wrong.Originally posted by Petrushka View Post"...the isle is full of noises,

Aside from the discussion around the question of differing versions/scores, the recent Our Summer BAL on Petrushka concluded that the recommended version was... er...
Abbado? Rattle? Dorati? Bernstein? Boulez? Dutoit? Roth?Comment

"Concluded"??? I think you might be mistaking us for another Forum, veriss - we don't do "conclusions" here; just a sort of fed-up fading out!Originally posted by verismissimo View Post And long may it so continue: with works of this standard, there is no single "recommended version"; just people passing on their own responses to share them with everyone else.

I can't quite believe the mind-bending intonation displayed by some of the trumpeters and bassoonists...Originally posted by verismissimo View Post
