Scythians

July 9, 2007

A Scythian exhibition in Berlin.

Today’s summary of the feuilletons suggests why I recommend signandsight.com: the Scythians, Hindu bigotry, Imre Kertesz on Europe, the Pope’s call for the reintroduction of the Latin mass.

    Are you a fan of Prokoviev’s Scythian Suite?

    It sticks in my mind because the Alla and Lolly section has one of the hardest trumpet parts in the repertoire. Really fiendish.

    My recollection – it’s noisy. But so were Scythians, I suppose. I have Abbado’s recording. It’s always on my list to hear again, and now moves up a notch or two.

    There are 12 matches on iTunes. Abbado isn’t there, though.
