oh hey dere, firebird suite. allow me to introduce myself, since I DON'T KNOW YOU AT ALL. (bwuh?)

[link] << CSO! yay!

it must be original version and not the 1919 version, although I can see why he cut it. it was way long! I like this version a lot more though, being way more expressive and whatnot. also, 50ish minutes of firebird instead of 30. yay! more lovin' for stravinsky! brilliant.

edit: the '19 version sounds like it starts at 1:03:08 (22 minutes of cut stuff right there, wth), but it's not. there are still a bunch of other snippets and things that he cut out so I'd get lost for five minutes at a time after that point. And suddenly I'm doubting my math... well, the Fantasia version is only 9 minutes so that alone should blow your mind. anyway, TOTES LE AWESOME.

edit2: my version of '19 firebird is just over 27 minutes, so yeah. firebird where have you been all my life??
