Stravinsky: Le Sacre du printemps, Capriccio & Octuor

Nathalia Milstein (piano), Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France, Mikko Franck
Alongside the ever-popular Rite of Spring, which surely needs no introduction, Mikko Franck
and the Orchestra Philharmonique de Radio France present two of Stravinsky's more
"neoclassical" works. The Capriccio and Octet contain some of his most bracing music and
are every bit as ferociously energetic as the Rite. Nathalia Milstein brings boundless energy
to the Capriccio, while the Orchestre's wind and brass players shine in the Octet, tempering
its spikier textures with well-judged sensitivity, especially in the opening of its Sinfonia.
