Stravinsky/ Simon Rattle - Rite of the Spring

Stravinsky: The Rite of the Spring - Sir Simon Rattle - Berlin Philharmonic Stravinsky: Le Sacre du printemps; Symphonies of Wind Instruments; Apollon musagète - From pagan savagery to refined Classical elegance via a masterpiece of oblique ritual, these recordings trace Stravinsky's eventful musical journey of creative curiosity and unquenchable originality. Sir Simon Rattle has long been acclaimed as a conductor of vivid insights in this music, and the Berliner Philharmoniker's virtuosity makes this a disc of aptly balletic power and poetry. To celebrate the centenary of perhaps the greatest work of the 20th century, Sir Simon Rattle and the Berlin Philharmoniker release a new recording of Stravinsky's Rite of Spring.
