Stravinsky: Le Sacre Du Printemps
Quoted by Bernstein himself that the century-old <i>Le Sacre du Printemps </i> is "one your everyday volcanic masterpieces...of such originality and power that it still overwhelms us." Of course, this 1958 recording with Bernstein conducting the New York Philharmonic is a tour de force performance of the piece that was so "volcanic" at its Paris premiere that it started a legendary riot. This wonderful new audio transfer is accompanied by photos of Bernstein and Igor Stravinsky from the recording sessions and more.
