The Rite of Spring & Symphony of Psalms

Album by Igor Fyodorovitch Stravinsky & Orchestre de Paris & Daniel Barenboim

This release is an album compiling two orchestral works by Igor Stravinsky, composed in 1913 and 1930 respectively. Musically it contrasts the early work's driving, rhythmically complex, dissonant modernism with the later piece's leaner, more neoclassical and choral textures, illustrating a stylistic shift in Stravinsky's career.
