Stravinsky: Symphony of Psalms
Composer
Released
Stravinsky’s Symphony of Psalms is like an extremely clean stained glass window, full of hard outlines and translucent color. The composer’s sonic ingenuity is everywhere, from the dry plucked chord at that punctuates the piece’s opening to the famously celestial one at its close. Boulez’s performance here is brisk, decisive, luminous.
