In Reply to: RE: Interesting, was just listening to Boulez w Cleveland. Blew me away. posted by jdaniel@jps.net on August 31, 2016 at 13:46:38
Boulez recorded the Rite earlier as well, a release that came out on Nonesuch in the US. Was it that one that set Stravinsky off? Stravinsky famously didn't like Karajan's recording, either, but said "Wow" to the first Bernstein.

Not enough bite.
I agree. I have two versions on CD, one of which is the Bernstein version. I just cant quite seem to warm up to it, although I do like Bernsteins work in general.
My copy is an old mono 6-eye. Performance was OK overall, but the woodwinds are very recessed--some really important stuff is virtually inaudible. I also played the Dutoit/Montreal LP on London, which is the recording I "imprinted on". That one seems to have quite a few advocates. It's well-recorded and the complex detailed score comes across quite well. Jarvi made a nice one with Detroit about 20 years ago which has very well-recorded percussion--really adds to the visceral impact of the piece.
