4.0 excellentBedex | February 23rd 22

Unlike Petrushka, Oiseau and Sacre, I had absolutely never heard this one. I might perhaps bump it at some stage but I feel like I would need to get more familiar with it first. This makes cartoons play in your head. It switches vibes very fast yet very smoothly, going from utter evil to colourful frolic, from relaxed to furious, from tiny little bells that remind of the fee dragee to loud brass. I love the interplay between piano and flutes in the 4th movement for example (by far the longest). The 1st movement is probably the craziest and most dissonant, qutie impressively so for 1917. But to be honest I loved every movement here which is rare, though of course the overall quite short length helps. Outstanding piece that deserves another few listens from me. Today was, quite at random, Boulez's take with the Cleveland Orchestra. 4.2
