Book Reviews of The Rite of Spring in Full Score (Dover Music Scores)
Book Review: Most strongly recommended!
Summary: 5 Stars
It's no secret that "Vjesná Svjashchjénnaja" ("Spring Consecrated", a literal translation of the original Russian title) is an exceedingly difficult piece to understand on first hearing (and it can take many hearings for it to clear up). This is doubly so if all one can do is hear a recording. A score is essential for it to be fully understood - and what better way to handle this challenge than via this reprint from a Soviet edition (outstandingly accurate yet inexpensive)?
[Knowing how usually often Dover editions are very good if not excellent (notably their Richard Strauss, Chaykóvskiy, Brahms, Debussy and many others!) is all the more reason not to waste money on another edition (unless one absolutely MUST have the most current redraft he made in an attempt to get more money over the piece's copyright-lifetime). Excellently sized yet beautifully bound, easy to read - and accurate!! This is a steal!!!]
Another bonus: you also get to sample some of the thinking and ideology that Communism was forcing on its people in all regards and all walks of life - outstanding reminder of what political correctness can do to us all(this warning especially meant for those who believe in it in any way whatsoever...)!! Buy this without delay!!!
Summary of The Rite of Spring in Full Score (Dover Music Scores)
Composed for Diaghilev's Ballets Russes, The Rite of Spring premiered in 1913 to a near-riot. The most famous musical work of the 20th century, this brilliant and uncompromising masterpiece changed the course of modern music. Nearly a century later, it remains in the repertoire of every large symphony orchestra.
