Igor Stravinsky: Le sacre du printemps (The Rite of Spring) [100th Anniversary Collectors Edition]

It was exactly a century ago Igor Stravinsky s Le Sacre du Printemps shocked and overwhelmed its first audience, provoking a now-legendary riot at its Paris premiere whose notoriety and magnitude were unprecedented in the history of classical music.
