Good old google. You can always count on them to remind you of important events. Today they attempted to wish Igor Stravinsky a joyeux anniversaire.
I say attempted because, well, see for yourself...
Cute Firebird. Whatever. But floating music notes (can I get a cliché up in this house, what, what)? And if the caterpillar and the daisies are supposed to conjure up images of The Rite of Spring, I think the artist missed the whole pagan-ritual part of that ballet...
(Oh, how I love you, Vaslav Nijinsky...)
Of course, here is the Rite of Spring via your childhood (thanks, Walt Disney!). And speaking of Disney, I love Salonen and the L.A. Philharmonic's version for the Walt Disney Hall inauguration in 2003.
But really, this is why I love Stravinsky...
How do you say happy birthday in Russian?
