Stravinsky's Rite of Spring - Dances of the Young Girls
Stravinsky is an acquired taste for fledgling classical lovers.
Thanks.
Romanticism vs. Modernism at the Royal Opera
I don't understand the attraction of such extreme forms of modernism. While modernists such as Stravinsky bring fresh, new ideas to the field, there is such thing as going too far. I think this kind of thing is more of an avant garde/postmodernist style, and those generally push a bit far into the extremes. (Atonal "music" is an example.)
In the end, such extremes often take something that's potentially beautiful and turn it into something rather ugly. (In my eyes . . .)
Allegro non troppo (1h 20min)
"Allegro non troppo is a Bruno Bozzetto animated film released in 1977. The film is a parody of Disney's Fantasia, though possibly more of a challenge to Fantasia than parody status would imply. In music, an instruction of "allegro ma non troppo" means to play "fast, but not overly so". In the context of this film, and without the "ma", it means Not So Fast!, an interjection meaning "slow down" or "think before you act" and refers to the film's pessimistic view of Western progress (as opposed to the optimism of Disney's original).
The film features six classical pieces:
Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune by Claude Debussy
Slavonic Dance No. 7 by Antonín Dvořák
Boléro by Maurice Ravel
Valse Triste by Jean Sibelius
Concerto in C Major by Antonio Vivaldi
The Firebird by Igor Stravinsky
The classical pieces are set to color animation, ranging from comedy to deep tragedy. At the beginning, in between the animation, and at the end is black and white live action film, displaying the (well, not the actual) animator, orchestra, conductor, and filmmaker, with many humorous scenes about the (again, not actual) production of the film."

Finally, additional props to sometimes for posting the sad cat segment of this intriguing movie.
