[Stravinsky Fixed Disc] 50 years after his death, the No.1 classical composer of the 20th century, Stravinsky's masterpieces and representative masterpieces are lined up! Petrushka" was premiered in 1911 and "The Rite of Spring" was premiered in Paris in 1913, both under the direction of Pierre Montoux. The latter, in particular, is remembered as a famous event in the history of music, as it was so innovative and unique that it caused a scandal. This CD is a rare album of Montoux's recordings of these two works in the late 1950s, nearly a century after their premieres, and is a masterful performance that shows the keen eye of a premiere conductor.
