Igor Stravinsky changed the history of music with his shockingly radical and modern compositional language. He was provocative and brash, as well as clever and humorous. His constantly changing style confused his devotees and adversaries alike. The Budapest Festival Orchestra will paint a richly colourful portrait of the composer with some of his most popular works and a few rarities.
The real 'heavy artillery' comes out in the second half of the concert. The three-movement Symphony of Psalms (1930), written for chorus and orchestra, dates from Stravinsky's neoclassical period. Simultaneously predictable and mysterious, it transports the spirit with the power of the harmony between the chorus¬ and the orchestra. The 1913 première of Rite of Spring managed to cause a scandal and an uproar: the loud booing prevented the dancers and audience alike from hearing the music seething with mystical ceremonies, deadly religious rites, fertility dances and magical movements.
