The Symphonies V

This album offers a vivid portrait of Stravinsky's modernity through two distinct masterpieces. The RIAS-Symphonie-Orchester Berlin interprets Le Rite du Printemps with primal energy, conveying the telluric force of pagan dances and the dramatic tension of sacrifice in a reading that combines rigor and impetus. The second part of the program focuses on the brilliant Capriccio for Piano & Orchestra , entrusted to the Berlin Radio Symphony Orchestra with Monique Haas at the piano. The soloist clearly sculpts the virtuosic lines, finding an ideal balance between brilliance and lyricism, while Fricsay precisely guides the orchestra, enhancing the score's colors and rhythmic vivacity.
