Part of MTT's recent "Revolutions in Music" series, this DVD is perhaps the best of the bunch. Much of it is shot in Russia in such colorful locations as the Mariinsky Theater and Rimsky-Korsakov's apartment, both in St. Petersburg, and in the Russian countryside in a search for the roots of Stravinsky's masterpiece. One of those sources is found in the opera "Mlada" of Stravinsky's teacher Rimsky-Korsakov. MTT and the San Fransisco Sym. provide a fascinating comparison of passages from "Mlada" ... Read More

Music DVDs can be disappointing to some -- there's not always that much to actually watch, and efforts to utilize the sound and presentation fomats of DVD often meet with only limited success. That said, if you have as the subject a piece like the Rite of Spring, there's more than the usual antics to watch.
This DVD comprises an hour-long video production originally aired on PBS showing some history of the piece, cursory analysis, and occasional contributions from orchestra members. ... Read More

To my knowledge, this DVD is unique. Michael Tilson Thomas does an excellent job of dissecting this music for those of us who can't read a score.

The audio mix is especially good for hearing the various orchestral ... Read More

This DVD is fantastic, especially if you are not familiar with the Rite of Spring. The DVD goes through some of the background of Russian ballet and Russian composers from the late Romantic period, then briefly discusses Rimsky-Korsakov (Stravinsky's teacher) and his ballet Mlada. This leads up to to Stravinsky and the Firebird, then covers the radical departure to Rite of Spring. Michael Tilson-Thomas does a superb job in breaking down the musical material and orchestration of the Rite, and there are ... Read More

Michael Tilson Thomas does a fantastic job presenting the musical and social elements that went into this masterpiece of composition. The program is pithy enough for musicians, and accessible enough for music lovers. A very intelligent and entertaining piece of work; beautifully filmed and edited.
As a bonus, we get full performance versions of excerpts from "The Firebird" (beautifully played!) as well as the complete "Rite of Spring". The performance is very exciting; I am familiar with at least ... Read More
