Very Energetic and Crisp on "The Rite of Spring"
Shota | Torrance, CA | 03/09/2001
(4 out of 5 stars)

"The Rite of Spring performed on this CD have rather different attitudes from the one performed by Lenny with the New York Phil, and the one by Boulez with the Cleveland Orchestra. While Lenny and the New York Phil perform with a bit slow, but very pumped and totally bold, titaic, rhythm on the hellish climax of the music that is likely to shake the globe like crazy, Ozawa with the Boston Symphony Orchestra have a truly crisp, energetic sound, having a very quick and desparate tempo, which is likely to make the music even more exciting. Bernstein's performance, although have really tiny flaws on the music, and parts the composer himself probably did not have asked, to me, is the best one I heard, but Ozawa's flawless performance is not very bad either. Boulez's performance doesn't really do, even though I heard it. I recommend Ozawa's performance on this CD."
One of the best ever...

"i find this recording of the rite of spring to be the best ever. sergei ozawa packs quite the punch. this recording is full of emotion and i love the fact that he doesn't slow down during the sacrificial dance as i have heard in other recordings."
