RE: Song of the Day - Stravinsky "Jeu de Cartes"
Oh, was this specially for me ;-)
Ok, I'll correct my original statement to "I hate Rite of Spring". Maybe not hate, strongly dislike will do. This was much more accessible and enjoyable. As a piece to listen to, it wouldn't particularly do it for me, but if someone else was playing it, that would be fine. I think I would enjoy it a lot more in the context of the original ballet though, as the visual interpretation would help me understand the story and appreciate it more.
Thanks!
Yes, I forgot to tag you! I have one more that might be intersting as well, but I'll post it later... It is an unusual piece, and the story is probably better represented with the ballet and visuals. I think Rite of Spring (whilst being decent) is overhyped as the "riot causing" piece...
