The Rite of Spring / Pulcinella Suite

Album by Igor Fyodorovitch Stravinsky & Atlanta Symphony Orchestra & Yoel Levi

The Rite of Spring / Pulcinella Suite is a compilation of orchestral works by Igor Stravinsky, comprising pieces originally composed in 1913 and 1920. The release contrasts the early work's driving, rhythmically complex and dissonant modernist orchestration with the later suite's lighter, dance-inflected textures and neoclassical tendencies, highlighting a key shift in Stravinsky's stylistic development and its significance in early 20th-century music.
First released: 1992
