Ivan FischerAbout
"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)
The orchestration of Tango No.72 by Felix Guenther was approved by Stravinsky and first performed by Benny Goodman.
“…The Rite of Spring remains a seismic event in the history of music, still astounding in a performance as gripping and as powerful as this live account by Fischer’s BFO. These Hungarians manage the remarkable feat of making this familiar music sound ever fresh and new — I love Fischer’s chamber-music textures in Dances of the Adolescent Girls, and his Dance of the Earth sounds positively volcanic.” - The Sunday Times
