The Rite of Spring depicts the primal impulse
Stravinsky's revolutionary work performed by Monteux and the Paris Conservatoire Orchestra.
This historic recording of the ballet music, which caused a scandal at its premiere, was made by Monteux, a close friend of the composer. The primal energy of the complex rhythms and dissonances is reproduced with the powerful sound of the orchestra. This important recording marks a turning point in 20th century music.
