Then on to the BBC to hear Oedipus Rex by and conducted by Stravinsky. A great deal of the choral writing was almost pure Taverner, the construction that of an early passion. It is really impressive, it sounds old and cold, a chilly shadow that has never lifted from man's mind....I have been more pleased with Oedipus than with any of the recent Stravinsky I have heard. It is quite dislocated at last, miles beyond Les Noces; and it is so old and cold. |
