About

Two of Stravinsky's important ballet-scores brought together on a hybrid SACD, performed by the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra under chief conductor Mariss Jansons. Exceptional orchestral detail, the finest recorded sound ever for this repertoire and Jansons' first recording of these works for some years, mean an extraordinary release.

Concert Reviews:
"The Stravinsky was hair-raisingly exciting right from the opening notes in the lower strings with extraordinarily fierce lashes in a brilliant, rhythmically razor-sharp dance from hell and a broad, expansive finale." - NRC Handelsblad

"Jansons's Rite was hard and ruthless, raw, rough, barbaric, yet executed by a perfect 'machine' - the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra - which gave an incredibly good performance." - Trouw
