Stravinsky's Sacre du Printemps

Debussy / Takemitsu / Stravinsky Le Sacre du Printemps by Russian composer Igor Stravinsky is one of the most revolutionary works ever written. The unprecedented thrust of Stravinsky's majestic spring offering still captures the imagination. The rhythmic dance of the primordial and the emotional language of the Sacre has inspired countless composers. Within the framework of the TROMP Concours, masterworks from the twentieth century are given new life. Stravinsky's big bang is accompanied by two kindred spiritual, ritual orchestral works. The atmospheric rainbow hues of Claude Debussy's Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune set an unprecedented dream world ablaze. An extraordinary percussion spectacle is unleashed in Toru Takemitsu's meditative From me flows what you call time. Four percussionists under the direction of specialist Dominique Vleeshouwers together with Philzuid take on the challenge.
