Stravinsky Conducts Le sacre du printemps cover art

As part of an extensive Columbia Masterworks project documenting the composer leading his own material, Stravinsky conducted the Columbia Symphony Orchestra for this definitive recording. It provided a starkly unsentimental, rhythmically ferocious reading of the revolutionary 1913 ballet that permanently altered 20th-century orchestral composition.
