[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]
Igor Stravinsky
Весна священная, Vesna svyashchennaya (The Rite of Spring)
Premiered on May 29, 1913 in Paris“The music of Le Sacre du Printemps baffles verbal description. To say that much of it is hideous as sound is a mild description. There is certainly an impelling rhythm traceable. Practically it has no relation to music at all as most of us understand the word.” Musical Times, London, August 1, 1913”
