I have always loved La Sacre. Last year I got to hear it twice in concert: once with the Chicago Symphony and once with the Civic Orchestra (the CSO “training” orchestra. Both performances were outstanding.

There are only a few things by Stravinsky that I like much but this is one.

The only thing By Igor I can tolerate is “Firebird Suite”.

My taste for clangorous dissonance only goes as far as Prokofieff and Shostakovitch.
