Stravinsky gave me a lot. It was interesting to listen to him and it was interesting to look at the scores. I liked Mavra, I remember, and L’Histoire du Soldat, particularly the first part; it’s too boring to listen to the work in its entirety. It’s fashionable now to speak disparagingly of Stravinsky’s opera, The Rake’s Progress, and that’s a shame. The work is deeper than a first glance would lead you to believe. But we’ve become lazy and lack curiosity. |
