About

“(He) knew how to draw out alert, vigorous performances ... every one of these illustrates facets of his inspiration that others fail to note ... he brings out more than any other the grotesque fantasy of Firebird, a quality he was about to develop in Petrushka ... while Kastchei’s Dance looks forward to The Rite of Spring ... (Rite) “few if any rivals in its compelling intensity ... (Violin Concerto with Stern) “never surpassed, seldom approached..” (Penguin Guide)

September 2021

Petrushka has received more bracingly exciting performances on disc, but none that keep dancing so infectiously, nor reveal the music’s textural intricacy so luminously and with such chamber-scale finesse. Finest of all is The Rite of Spring, in which the various tableaux unfold with a symphonic sense of inevitability, with internal detail illuminated and meticulously balanced.
