Charles Dutoit – Stravinsky: Petrouchka. Le Chant Du Rossignol. Etc. – SHM-CD

Description

:

[Charles Dutoit’s supreme art] Dutoit’s Stravinsky does not emphasize barbarism or dynamics, but pursues the beauty of the orchestral sound with a penetrating reading of the score, creating a refined music to the highest degree. The ensemble ability of the Montreal Symphony Orchestra to create music of such high purity is nothing short of astonishing. Commemorating the 80th anniversary of Charles Dutoit’s birth. Rubidium clock cutting. Recorded November 1986 at St. Eustache Church, Montreal [Performed by] Armand Maiste (piano), Montreal Symphony Orchestra, Charles Dutoit, conductor
