Stravinsky - Symphony of Psalms

Over Stravinsky - Symphony of Psalms

German conductor Wolfgang Gonnenwein leads the Orchester der Ludwigsburger Schlo?festspiele and the Suddeutscher Madrigalchor Stuttgart in a performance of Igor Stravinsky's Symphony of Psalms (1930). The composer included verses from Psalms 38, 39, and 150 from the Vulgate bible in Latin in his work, which was written for mixed chorus and orchestra. The three movements of the symphony are performed without break. Remarkable is the work's unique orchestration, which leaves out violins, violas, and clarinets, as Stravinsky wanted to avoid a Romantic orchestral sound. This performance was recorded at the 1988 Ludwigsburger Schlo?festspiele.
