This is not a "Rite of Spring" that appeals to the emotions, but rather a "Rite of Spring" that lets you "listen" to its structure.
This is an intellectually stimulating classical masterpiece that is indispensable when discussing 20th century music, contemporary music, and Boulez interpretation.
This important album, recorded in 1964, elevates the controversial work "The Rite of Spring," a turning point in 20th-century music, to a new level through Pierre Boulez's conducting. Boulez's interpretation, which pursues reason and architectural beauty to the limits, brings out the primal and violent qualities of Stravinsky's music with a sharp yet transparent sound.
