Stravinsky - Scherzo à la Russe | Michael Tilson Thomas | New World Symphony (2020)

A scherzo for Hollywood - Based on music-sketches of the Hollywood film "The North Star" (1943), Igor Stravinsky composed two versions of his Scherzo à la Russe. The symphonic version, which is most played in the present day was premiered by the San Francisco Symphony in 1946. For Paul Whiteman, the self-appointed "King of Jazz" and Bandleader of an entertainment orchestra which was very popular in the 1920s and mainly played symphonic jazz, Stravinsky orchestrated a second version for jazz orchestra. The defining characteristics of the Scherzo à la Russe are the fast tempi, the predominating rhythmic elements, unusual phrasing, and a structure with three main ideas, repeating the scherzo with two trios in the middle. Typically the scherzo is recognisable by its march-like, stomping rhythm and is represented by the piano, the violoncello, the double-bass and the bass drum. By contrast, the brass-section, working in opposition to the whole orchestra, tries to dissolve the scherzo rhythm with forceful syncopation.
