Today in Writing History July 5, 1889: Surrealist write and film maker, Jean Cocteau, was born. He was most famous for his films, particularly “Orpheus,” based on his screenplay, as wells as “Beauty and the Beast,” and “Blood of a Poet.” And he wrote the libretto for Stravinsky’s “Oedipus Rex.” However, he was also a great writer of fiction and poetry, too. His novel, “The White Book,” (1927) was a homoerotic, semi-biographical tale. He also wrote “Les Enfants Terribles” (1929). And he collaborated with Pablo Picasso and Erik Satie to produce the ballet, “Parade.”

this has got to be one of the most beautiful but also the most joyful performances of the firebird finale (agosti's transcription) that i've ever seen ☺️

i love the piece anyway but being able to watch the pianist play it was extra wonderful.

#NowPlaying Le Sacre Du Printemps / The Rite Of Spring.
#Stravinsky getting all #FolkHorror (the ballet portrays a pagan celebration during which a virgin is sacrificed). Think The Wicker Man / Midsommar, but profoundly culture-changing. It allegedly caused a riot.
Stravinsky is one of those composers whose music seems to be tailor-made for my brain, as if it were coded and formatted specifically to work with my operating system.
