Prokofieff and Stravinsky were responding to an impulse deepin the Russian creative mentality when they wrote these works so widelyseparated by time and location. That is the cultivation of the story-tellingimpulse, the capacity to make music relate a story, paint a picture or depict asituation. That, to them, was Russian art, and it hasnt changed (fundamentally)since.
Heard for its own sake: this is a sonic experience in whichStrausss imagination and skill, and those of Fritz Reiner and his players, makeAlso sprach Zarathustra not only incomparably thrilling on first hearing butnomatter how often repeatedinexhaustibly rich in new revelations of sheersound-sorcery.
