The Rite of Spring

Album by Igor Fyodorovitch Stravinsky & The Philadelphia Orchestra & Riccardo Muti

The Rite of Spring is a ballet and orchestral work by Russian composer Igor Stravinsky, first performed in 1913. The score features complex, irregular rhythms, dense dissonance and bold orchestration that challenged conventional approaches to harmony and rhythm, and it represented a turning point in Stravinsky's compositional career and in the development of 20th-century music.
