This highly praised interpretation of Stravinsky’s Le Sacre du printemps was recorded in 1976. Under the insightful direction of Claudio Abbado, the London Symphony Orchestra musicians do full justice not only to the rhythmic complexity of this demanding work, but also to its subtle beauty and varied palette of colors.
