Our Take

RALPH VAN RAAT's rendition of Stravinsky's iconic masterpiece "Rite Of Spring" is a rollercoaster of musical emotions that will leave you feeling like you've just taken a wild ride on a runaway lawnmower.

From the haunting opening notes of the bassoon to the frenetic percussive section that sounds like a group of over-caffeinated woodpeckers on speed, Van Raat's interpretation is as wild and unpredictable as the British weather.

His piano skills are simply out of this world, effortlessly navigating the complex rhythms and harmonies of Stravinsky's score with the finesse of a seasoned tightrope walker. And let's not forget his daring use of pedal, creating a soundscape that is both ethereal and earth-shattering.

But what really sets this album apart is Van Raat's infectious energy and enthusiasm. You can practically hear the sweat dripping off his brow as he attacks those keys with the intensity of a man possessed.

In conclusion, RALPH VAN RAAT's interpretation of "Rite Of Spring" is a must-listen for any music lover looking to inject a bit of adrenaline into their playlist. Just be sure to fasten your seatbelt and hold on tight - it's going to be a wild and exhilarating ride from start to finish.
