Budafok Dohnányi Orchestra

Stravinsky’s work is a genre-, style-, and thought-defining creation of the 20th century. Although in his later oeuvre he often crossed or even renounced the spirit of this piece, The Rite of Spring remains one of the most powerful, surprising, and multifaceted compositions to this day. All of Stravinsky’s tools stem from classical music, yet he handles harmonies, rhythm, and articulation mechanisms – customary in classical music – with striking ingenuity. Added to this is the monumental orchestration and the strong, captivating, almost ritualistic folkloric color, which rivet the listener to their seat.
