Stravinsky Day
I From the Royal Albert Hall , I London. The final concert of this celebratory day shows how truly universal a modem composer Stravinsky was. The restraint of his Mass and the vocal elaboration of his cantata demonstrate how he reinvented the music of the past with piercing originality and contrast with the bubbling rhythmic energy of his concerto.
