On the 100th anniversary of Igor Stravinsky's Rite of Spring, the composer's piano arrangement appears on Tacet alongside smaller works, mainly for piano four-hands, played by Evgeni Koriolov and his partner Ljupka Hadzigeorgiewa. This piano version of the Rite freshly exposes several aspects of the work. Structures absorbed into the dominant orchestral instrument tone colors display a quite different balance, and compositional details that, until now not apparent, are opened up. The rhythmic drive takes on a new note, and the lyrical elements take on surprising coloring.
