Ahora subo una gran colección de Stravinsky que incluye todos sus trabajos con grandes interpretaciones (la lista detallada más abajo).
Recordemos que fue uno de los compositores más grandes y visionarios del siglo XX, reinventando el estilo académico de composición... tenía que ser ruso.
Igor Stravinsky: The Recorded Legacy is Sony Classics' massive Stravinsky box of 22 CDs, released in 1991 at a faint-inducing price point. The vast majority of Stravinsky's recordings were made for CBS Masterworks starting in 1957 -- when he was 75 years old -- and extending to 1967, when he made his last public appearances. Igor Stravinsky: The Recorded Legacy includes, in one way or another, some 90 percent of the music Stravinsky is known to have composed. Save the inclusion of both The Firebird Ballet and its corresponding suite, alternate incarnations of works are not found here; the dreaded, posthumously discovered Sonata in F sharp minor for piano is likewise lacking, but so are several of Stravinsky's other piano pieces and the Three Pieces for String Quartet. Apart from that, Igor Stravinsky: The Recorded Legacy runs the Stravinskïan gamut, from the opera of The Rake's Progress in its entirety to Epitaphium, a late career tidbit lasting all of 70 seconds.
There are some stunning gems here -- Stravinsky's 1961 recording of the Firebird Ballet and 1960 Rite of Spring are fabulous, completely authoritative performances. There is a compelling Agon from Los Angeles in 1957, which was the first recording Columbia Masterworks issued in stereo, the 1960 Monumentum pro Gesualdo di Venosa, never bettered, and an intense, palpitating L'histoire du Soldat Suite from 1961. The whole of disc 12, which consists of short instrumental works such as the Octet for winds, Concertino for 12 Instruments, Ragtime for 11 Instruments, and the Ebony Concerto with Benny Goodman, is all very impressive. Some of the vocal items as well -- his songs as sung by Cathy Berberian, Adrienne Albert, and Donald Gramm, singers Stravinsky liked, and worked with regularly -- are not only well done but carry the indelible stamp of authority that only Stravinsky could have imparted, as many of them were new when Stravinsky recorded them.
On the other hand, some devotees of Stravinsky tend to view him as his own worst enemy as conductor of his own music, and much of his work for CBS Records was the evidence that galvanized such a reputation for him. Few composers would prefer to record everything they have written, and there were things in Stravinsky's catalog about which he simply wasn't enthusiastic. Stravinsky's sluggish and one-dimensional recording of the early Symphony in E flat seems to confirm his low opinion of the work, and he seems somewhat palsied about having to trot out the cantata Persephone, with its libretto by French author André Gide; Persephone is a rare Stravinsky work in that most experts agree it is an out and out failure.
Stravinsky was a difficult conductor to follow, and even though he had some of the best musicians on both American coasts and in Canada to work with, the results were not always predictable. Generally, the further forward from 1962 you get, the more difficult it is for Stravinsky to contend with the demands of his craft. Similarly, some of the late Stravinsky works essayed here -- Movements for piano and orchestra, The Flood, Abraham and Isaac -- are not ones we think of so fondly when considering Stravinsky in retrospect. Nevertheless, Stravinsky's CBS Records contract was an important part of his support system in his last years; he was living in a country where he still felt like an alien, and the patronage system among the European intellectual bourgeoisie that had carried him most of his career was long gone, forever destroyed by the events of World War II. Once in awhile -- such as in the pithy but moving little Elegy for J.F.K. or the masterfully concise Requiem Canticles -- it is clear that Stravinsky is not quite written out, that his distanced twelve tone works like The Flood didn't quite put out the flame.
In the mid-'60s, a virulent controversy erupted at Stereo Review magazine regarding the extent to which Stravinsky himself was involved with the enormous amount of music recorded by CBS under his name. Indeed, some items conducted by Robert Craft were issued on LPs as having been conducted by Stravinsky, and Craft also did a considerable amount of cleanup work on Stravinsky's behalf, leading his musicians through patches for sections of works with which he was not satisfied, but was too tired to remake himself. To some extent, Sony has dealt with this issue through segregating Stravinsky authorized Craft-led recordings to the 22nd and last disc; though reportedly even the session sheets are vague about the patches and in some cases we may never know how much of the material incontrovertibly attributed to Stravinsky is actually his. Equipped with such foreknowledge, one may move forward informed through this most mixed of mixed bags; however, there is no doubting that Igor Stravinsky: The Recorded Legacy is something of a historical artifact in itself, a survey of the most ambitious project ever undertaken by a major recording concern to document the works of a composer under his own supervision. ~ Uncle Dave Lewis , Rovi
