After Franck, Debussy and Strauss, Mikko Franck and the Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France here continue their collaboration with Alpha Classics, this time with the spotlight on Igor Stravinsky. The programme begins with two pieces from his so-called “neo-classic” period: his Capriccio and Octet.

In the first, in which Stravinsky sets up a dialogue between piano and orchestra, the soloist is one of the great stars of the new generation, the French pianist Nathalia Milstein. Then the mood darkens, with the primitive rhythms and ferocious chordal attack of The Rite of Spring, a work that Mikko Franck has long since wanted to immortalize officially: a major masterpiece of the 20th century and an essential milestone for every orchestra.

Every single player seems to be on fire in this recording, which puts the seal on seven years of collaboration and achievement with the Finnish conductor.
