The Rite of Spring's 1913 premiere created one of the most famous classical music riots in history. It's intensely rhythmic score, primitive scenery and radical choreography completely shocked the audience, who were accustomed to the elegant conventions of classical ballet. Almost 100 years later, the Rite of Spring still has the ability to shock - it still sounds fresh, pagan and new. On this Super Audio recording, Ivan Fischer and the Budapest Festival Orchestra offer a powerful and intense performance that reveals the underlying simplicity that forms the foundation of the work.
