Are you already thinking about spring too?

Outside the weather is still rather cold, so let’s bring back some warmth through music! Vijay Iyer & the Luxembourg Philharmonic will guide you through two celebrations of the season of renewal: Igor Stravinsky’s iconic Rite of Spring, and Vijay Iyer’s own composition, Rites of Holi that accompanies an extraordinary, celebratory film by Prashant Bhargava.

Stravinsky | Orchestral Works

This double album offers a testimony to Stravinsky’s overwhelming musical heritage, covering all the phases of his creative life. Igor Stravinsky (1882-1971) is twentieth century music! More than any other composer, he continued to develop his compositional style throughout his seven-decade-spanning career, innovating and adopting all the most important musical trends of his century. Historically, the musical journey starts with one of the first recordings of the recently rediscovered Funeral Song (1909), composed as a tribute to his teacher Rimsky-Korsakov. The next phase in his development is represented with the raw but tremendously refined Rite of Spring (1913), Stravinsky’s most famous work that created a scandal at its Paris world premiere, and immediately turned him into a star. His neoclassical style is showcased by Jeu de cartes (1937) and the Concerto in D (1947), whereas Agon (1957) presents Stravinsky’s original take on Schoenberg’s serialism.
