Composer:
Igor Stravinsky

Conductor:
Ivan Fischer

Background: The recipe seems simple: take a simple melody of six notes and repeat it in the same order, accentuating a different note each time. Next step: add a rhythmic pattern and repeat it many times. Prepare a few of these and combine them thoroughly until you get a polyrhythmic and polytonal mix! Finished.

With his simple recipe, Stravinsky changed the world. Many plants grew from this seed: beat, rock, rap, minimal music… A pagan, sacrifice ritual with shocking music and shocking choreography: three exceptional talents - Roerich, Nijinsky and Stravinsky - brought about an artistic revolution with a masterstroke. 100 years later it still sounds fresh, pagan, scary, new and beautiful.

Iván Fischer (from liner notes).
