Le Sacre du Printemps

Album by Igor Fyodorovitch Stravinsky & Orchestre philharmonique de Strasbourg & Alain Lombard

Le Sacre du Printemps is a ballet score by Russian composer Igor Stravinsky, premiered in 1913. The work is characterised by driving, syncopated rhythms, complex metres, dense orchestration and dissonant harmonies associated with primitivism and early 20th-century musical modernism, and it represented a major stylistic turning point in Stravinsky's output and in the development of orchestral music.
