The Waste Land and Other Poems

Rhapsodize Audio presents The Waste Land and Other Poems by T.S. Eliot. In 1920 A.A.Knopf published two collections of poetry by T.S.Eliot. The first collection, entitled Prufrock and Other Observations, contains many of Eliot's most famous early poems, and has previously been recorded by Rhapsodize Audio. The second collection, which is the subject of the present recording, includes Gerontion - like Prufrock, an examination of the rigours of aging - and a number ofl less well known poems, several of which are in French. This recording concludes with a performance of the Waste Land, Eliot's cross-cultural epic, which, with its phantasmagoric reconstruction of language and imagery, still remains one of the most controversial poems ever written. *************** Music for Sections 1 and 2 Three Pieces for Clarinet Alone by Igor Stravinsky Performed by William McColl Three Pieces Music for the Wasteland: The Rite of Spring by Igor Stravinsky, Performed by the New York Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by the composer.
