Stravinsky - The Rite of Spring
Catalog Number: BIS400
This recording pairs two of Stravinsky’s most powerful and contrasting masterpieces. The Symphony of Psalms (1930), composed for the Boston Symphony’s 50th anniversary, is a spiritual, austere work for choir and orchestra, built on Psalm texts and scored with unusual orchestration — no violins or violas, but rich winds and pianos. The Rite of Spring (1913), infamous for its riotous premiere, remains a groundbreaking ballet evoking pagan rituals with raw, rhythmic power and bold orchestration. Sixten Ehrling leads the Swedish forces in performances of striking clarity and commitment.
