The Rite of Spring

Album by Igor Fyodorovitch Stravinsky & New York Philharmonic & Zubin Mehta

The Rite of Spring is a ballet and orchestral work by Russian composer Igor Stravinsky, premiered in 1913. The piece introduced complex, irregular rhythms, extensive dissonance and innovative orchestral colours that challenged late-Romantic conventions and occupies a central place in both Stravinsky's output and early 20th-century musical history.
First released: 1978
