STRAVINSKY CONDUCTS STRAVINSKY (2 CDS)

"(He) knew how to draw out alert, vigorous performances... every one of these illustrates facets of his inspiration that others fail to note... he brings out more than any other the grotesque fantasy of Firebird, a quality he was about to develop in Petrushka... while Kastchei's Dance looks forward to The Rite of Spring... (Rite) "few if any rivals in it's compelling intensity... (Violin Concerto with Stern) "never surpassed, seldom approached.." (Penguin Guide)
