Description:

[Best Classics 100] This is a historical masterpiece featuring "The Rite of Spring" and "Petrushka," two of Stravinsky's three great ballets. The Rite of Spring" is a work depicting a prehistoric ritual that caused a scandal when it was first performed because of its shocking content. This is Boulez's second recording of the piece, and his innovative and logical interpretation of the piece, which makes full use of "rhythmic cell theory" and other techniques, has been highly acclaimed as the definitive performance of the piece since its release. Petrushka," which depicts an act of a carnival puppet show, is another work that makes full use of innovative orchestral techniques, and Boulez gives an exquisite performance based on a thorough analysis and interpretation of the music from his position as a composer. ◇Blu-spec CD2 / Recorded: July 1969, May 1971 / Location: Cleveland, New York
