Stravinsky the Conductor

‘I think Stravinsky is one of the creators of minimalism,’ says Currentzis. ‘This is the challenge of his scores. They don’t have a definitive quality about them, where everything is set out. They are more like medieval scripts.’

Some fascinating insights here. For those not aware Chailly is one of the most distinguished and Currentzis one of the most exciting conductors alive today. (See the latter's recent Beethoven 7 [1] for some really exciting music making).
