Stravinsky Rite of Spring and Firebird Suite
Pierre Monteux Paris Conservatoire Orchestra
"This recording is better than it sounds! On first hearing. Especially compared with the more lush and beautiful Firebird. What Monteux and RCA get across in this performance and recording is the crisp, raw passion of the music that is often subdued a little in more refined approaches. It took me two hearings to appreciate how good it is. Instruments are separated so effectively and the acoustic is so dry that it often seems we are listening to a chamber rather than a full orchestra. Even when strings play together, they barely seem to blend. Presence and immediacy are stunning. This is The Rite at its incisively brilliant best. Don't sit too close"
