¡Stravinsky: Symphonic Poem "la Chant du Rossignol"
¡Igor Stravinsky (conductor), NHK Symphony Orchestra
Description
[Machine Translation] The great composer Stravinsky stayed in Japan for about a month from April to May 1959. During his stay, he conducted his own composition with the NHK Symphony Orchestra, which is known as one of the most important events in Japanese music history. His performance of "Firebird" has been preserved on film, allowing us to witness the moving spectacle of the master of the century shaking the NHK Symphony Orchestra. The "Firebird" and "Uguisu" are now available on CD. In addition to "Firebird" and "Song of the Goose," there is a 19-minute excerpt from Petrushka. This legendary performance, in which Toshiro Mayuzumi and Hiroyuki Iwashiro are said to have participated as members, is a treasure of Japanese music history that must be preserved forever. Includes Japanese obi and commentary. Recordings: May 1, 1959 at Osaka Festival Hall, May 3, 1959 at Hibiya Public Hall (live)
