Stravinsky Edition Riccardo Chailly

This is a splendid collection of recordings, wonderfully performed and very well presented as a set.It is not a complete works, but what is here is well worth the asking price.

First, let me say that the people who have complained about this box set's packaging are incredibly nitpicky and really should be grateful that such a box like this exists in the first-place, especially given the reliance of many listeners have on streaming services nowadays and how little importance they place on the physical medium, which I think is a travesty as I'd rather own the physical product any day of week. Why are CDs or LPs so important? Because they give us snapshots into the history a musician's career and allow us to follow their development through time, but also how their views have changed of the composer's music they perform. This is why they're important and will remain important to those of us who value the music. Anyway, stepping off my soapbox...this Stravinsky Chailly box set is absolutely top-notch. For those who missed these performances the first-time around and don't feel like buying used copies of original issues, this would be your one-stop shop. I'm not going to talk about individual performances as someone else can do that, but I think this set is absolutely essential for any fan of Stravinsky. BUY IT NOW! What are you waiting for?

In un sol botto la summa di un secolo, una linea che apparentemente si spezza per poi riavvolgersi, con suono e direzione dello stesso spesso meraviglioso!Servizio Amazon efficiente come sempre.

This box set offers brilliant recordings of Stravinsky's major orchestral works including the powerful Darbietung of the Rite and deeply expressive rendering of Petrushka and Firebird, but other recordings like L' Histoire du soldat, Octet, Dumbarton Oaks, Pulcinella, Apollon musagete etc can not match Bernstein's colourful and inspired accounts.

Chailly's recordings on Decca with Concertgebouw are known for their marvelous sound engineering quality.

Edizione stupenda, tanto più presa in occasione ad un prezzo ribassato. Le incisioni di Chailly sono notevoli ed estramente interessanti. Consigliatissimoper tutti ma un "must" per gli ammiratori di Stravinskij!
