Edith BowmanHOST
use...
Dylan SouthernGUEST
Schubert, Stravinsky and the Carnival of the Animals.
Dylan SouthernGUEST
I can't remember the complex right now.
Dylan SouthernGUEST
But immediately after Cardiff, we have this sequence where the house lights come up and we talked about it just before.
Shane RevilleGUEST
Well, if
Simon HoldenHOST
they have one that doesn't stay, like the old Stravinsky, they suddenly get interested in sprinters, don't they? Which is fair enough.
Simon HoldenHOST
And one of my favorite ever horses.
Simon HoldenHOST
Now, I've got to say, I think Icy probably knows, my favorite horse in the world, the Mighty Rum Star runs in this.
Shane RevilleGUEST
was doing a half speed at the furlong pub.
Shane RevilleGUEST
So are
Simon HoldenHOST
you saying, Shane, that we could throw a blanket over the rest of them and they're the sort of sprinters that you could run it a few times and different ones would win? But this lad could be the Stravinsky, the class act in it.
Simon HoldenHOST
I would have
David CommandayGUEST
Okay.
Tom AlvarezHOST
Let us close now with an excerpt of the Firebird Suite by Igor Stravinsky, as performed by the Carmel Symphony Orchestra, led by David Comande.
Tom AlvarezHOST
Thank you.
Tom AlvarezHOST
Our thanks go out to our media sponsor, Urban Times.
Stewart CopelandGUEST
You know? And the, the, my favorite kind of jazz, in fact, the only kind of jazz I really like is when I'm playing it, uh, or Stanley Clarke.
Stewart CopelandGUEST
But, uh, you know, so my father raised me on jazz, but meanwhile, my mother was listening to Stravinsky, Debussy, Ravel, uh, which is 20th century classical music.
Stewart CopelandGUEST
That stuck.
Stewart CopelandGUEST
That, you know, that's why I do orchestral music now.
Tom PowerHOST
Mark's first love is opera and classical music.
Tom PowerHOST
He loves, uh, Puccini and Stravinsky and Mahler.
Tom PowerHOST
Most jazz singers would never want to play with someone who doesn't, like, jazz isn't the only thing they care about.
Tom PowerHOST
But for Katie, that's exactly what makes their partnership work so well.
Ella HubberHOST
There's other aspects as well.
Ella HubberHOST
There has been some debate if Stravinsky's horse is actually a feral descendant from horses of the 5,000-year-old Botai culture from Central Asia.
Ella HubberHOST
But you guys probably don't care about this distinction as much, but I have to say it because someone will.
Ella HubberHOST
Generally, I've seen two arguments against this.
Michael SimonGUEST
Fast forward after the First World War and listen to what the French composers and the Russian composers in particular are doing.
Michael SimonGUEST
So I'm talking about a little bit earlier, but if you listen to Tchaikovsky, if you listen to Prokofiev, Stravinsky, Shostakovich, or in France, if you're listening to Ravel or Debussy or Poulenc, the color is extraordinary.
Michael SimonGUEST
And they have introduced new instruments that didn't exist.
Michael SimonGUEST
Mahler wrote a symphony, the so-called symphony of a thousand.
Chris Minh DokyGUEST
When I heard Herbie Hancock and when I heard a lot of my jazz heroes, it's the same stuff.
Chris Minh DokyGUEST
I hear Tchaikovsky or Stravinsky or Ravel or Debussy and it's jazz.
Chris Minh DokyGUEST
You hear an improvisation by Herbie Hancock, it might as well be Ravel.
Chris Minh DokyGUEST
So I don't see a difference.
JennyHOST
Yeah.
Charles DiRaimondoGUEST
And I remember Stravinsky, the, the famous, the famous composer Stravinsky said the, the...
Charles DiRaimondoGUEST
He, he, he said, "You know, the activity of composition is everything for me." So in other words, like it's not so much when I finish it, yeah, that's great, I finished it.
Charles DiRaimondoGUEST
And, you know, you know, we're in, in the beautiful symphonic hall in Germany or whatever, and we're listening to this.
37 MINS LATER
Charles DiRaimondoGUEST
But the, the, it goes to the effect that like, you know, the journey is, is everything, right?
JennyHOST
Yeah.
Charles DiRaimondoGUEST
And so the, the, you know, the, like what Stravinsky said, you know, the, the activity of composition is everything for me, not so much the crowning glory opening night.
Charles DiRaimondoGUEST
Like, and so I feel the same way.
Richard SweatmanHOST
I remember for me, I was very keen, very creative, air quotes.
Richard SweatmanHOST
I think my first study, we read through Ezekiel chapter 1, and I played Stravinsky's Rite of Spring in the background to create the sort of emotions associated with that.
Richard SweatmanHOST
I haven't played music during a Bible study since then, but...
Richard SweatmanHOST
I very much, yeah, I was a bit of a high-risk appointment when I started.
