(September 2014) I have completed phase 38 of my “opus project” in which I listen to the complete works of an artist. This episode: IGOR STRAVINSKY. I went into this as a casual fan, and came out a huge admirer. Almost every piece has something interesting or unexpected. Very rich.
Favorite ballet (and favorite work): The Rite of Spring
Favorite orchestral piece: 8 instrumental miniatures
Favorite concertante: Concerto for piano and wind instruments
Favorite choral piece: Mass
Favorite vocal piece: Pastorale
Favorite chamber piece: Three pieces for clarinet
Favorite piano piece: Concerto for two pianos
Compared to expectations: ↑
