'May whoever listens to this music never experience the insult to which it was subjected and of which I was the witness in the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées, Paris, Spring 1913', wrote Stravinsky in 1968, of the première of his Rite of Spring. Written for a huge orchestra to a setting of scenes from pagan Russia, this elemental ballet with its vaulting, violent energy and assymetrical rhythms almost from beginning to end, has become a major landmark of 20th century music. Stravinsky's orchestral palette, different and distinctive in every work, is never more exotically colourful than in his one act opera The Nightingale, which is a virtual catalogue of avian imitations.

Reviews

Stereo 02/06: "Im 'Sacre' stampft die Musik effektvoll, schrecken die Härten. Dagegen hüllt melodisches Cantabile den 'Frühlingsreigen' in bestrickenden Wohlklang."
