While working on Le Sacre, Stravinsky also wrote Le roi des étoiles, a cantata for male choir and orchestra based on a poem by the symbolist poet Konstantin Balmont that some musicologists have interpreted as a kind of Christian counterpart to the pagan images of Russia in Sacre. A young Michael Tilson Thomas leads the Boston Symphony Orchestra and, in the cantata, the Men's Chorus of the NE Conservatory Choir in these original quadraphonic recordings from 1972, newly remastered by and released on the Pentatone label.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Molto Sostenuto - Various Performers \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Maestoso E Tranquillo - Various Performers \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Tempo Primo - Various Performers \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Introduction (Lento) \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Les Augures Printaniers - Danses Des Adolescentes \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Jeu Du Rapt \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Rondes Printanières \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Jeux Des Cités Rivals \u003cbr\u003e1.9 Cortège Du Sage \u003cbr\u003e1.10 Adoration de la Terre - Danse de la Terre \u003cbr\u003e1.11 Introduction (Largo) \u003cbr\u003e1.12 Cercles Mystérieux Des Adolescentes \u003cbr\u003e1.13 Glorification de L'élue \u003cbr\u003e1.14 Evocation Des Ancêtres \u003cbr\u003e1.15 Action Rituelle Des Ancêtres \u003cbr\u003e1.16 Danse Sacrale (L'élue)\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Stravinsky \/ Men's Chorus of the New England","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41742721384519,"sku":"28953104","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/3012610.jpg?v=1749181889","url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/stravinsky-mens-chorus-of-the-new-england-le-roi-des-etoiles-le-sacre-du-printemps-super-audio-cd","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
