Stravinsky - Yonezawa "Les noces" (arr. for 2 pianos)
showing once again that what you can do with 4 pianos, 17 percussionists and a small ensemble of singers is.... not necessarily something you can or should do on only 2 pianos, but NEVERTHELESS INTERESTING :D
"mom, can i go see stravinsky?" "no we have stravinsky at home."

Les Noces (The Wedding) - Igor Stravinsky
so... I read on wikipedia the Pokrovsky Ensemble used MIDI for the Pianos, at least, but it sounds like the percussion was as well. Anyway, I just listened to the whole CD and it’s a bop. Y’all should listen to it if you can find it

Igor Stravinsky and Claude Debussy in the latter’s apartment in the Avenue du Bois de Boulogne, Paris; photo by Erik Satie, June 1910. Stravinsky and Debussy performed a four-hand piano arrangement of Part I of The Rite of Spring for a private audience in June of 1912.
They were homeboys
I might have just died.

Stravinsky: La sacré du printemps / Uwe Scholz (full ballet) (by Guillem Gnosis)
“Then, when the curtain opened on the group of knock-kneed and long-braided Lolitas jumping up and down, the storm broke. Cries of “Ta gueule” came from behind me. I heard Florent Schmitt shout “Taisez-vous garces du seizième”; the “garces” of the sixteenth arrondissements were, of course, the most elegant ladies in Paris. The uproar continued, however, and a few minutes later I left the hall in a rage; I was sitting on the right near the orchestra, and I remember slamming the door. I have never again been that angry. The music was so familiar to me; I loved it, and I could not understand why people who had not yet heard it wanted to protest in advance. I arrived in a fury backstage, where I saw Diaghilev flicking the house lights in a last effort to quiet the hall. For the rest of the performance I stood in the wings behind Nijinsky holding the tails in a frac, while he stood on a chair shouting numbers to the dancers, like a coxswain.”
Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring premiered at the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées in Paris on 29 May 1913, 100 years ago today.
Composer, pianist and software engineer Stephen Malinowski has created one brilliant solution to an age-old problem: how to communicate and understand what’s going on in a piece of music, particularly if you don’t know standard musical notation. Over the course of some forty years, he’s developed what he calls the “Music Animation Machine,” and the results are stunning.
Bjork commissioned him to work on her Biophilia project, but now he’s tackled Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring, just in time for the ballet’s 100th anniversary on May 29.
Through this visualization, you can start to follow and understand the composer’s dazzlingly dense interplays of melody, instrumentation and the relationships between the instruments.
It has returned
