I came quite late to Stravinsky. I was actually inhibited from listening to the Rite of Spring for the longest time. I had read the back of an album - and the premise (a young girl dancing herself to death) was so awful to me I couldn't bear to listen. i finally did five years ago - and now the Rite as well as the Symphony of Psalms are my favorite bar-none pieces of music.

The first movement of the Symphony of Psalms would make an excellent soundtrack for a filming of the Enola Gay mission.

I really like Alexandr Nevsky, the movie and the soundtrack. Pretty cool. My favorite is the battle on the ice. I would have thought that was schlock to a cultured guy like you?
