Info for Stravinsky: Le Sacre du printemps

Sony Classical is proud to announce an unprecedented reissue of Igor Stravinsky' works made for CBS/American Columbia. Igor Stravinsky: The HighResAudio remastered Re-Issues brings together for the very first time various of the mono 'Stravinsky conducts Stravinsky' recordings issued in the 1940s and 1950s, alongside the more familiar stereo remakes from the 1960s. It also includes all of the authorized performances that Stravinsky's assistant Robert Craft conducted for the label in the composer's presence, after age and infirmity had restricted his own ability to do so.

As the first composer in history to have conducted or supervised the recording of almost his entire oeuvre (much of it more than once), Stravinsky left the world a unique legacy of which The New York Times music critic Anthony Tommasini wrote in 1999: 'In terms of archival importance, this discography is the greatest landmark in the history of recorded music from the classical tradition.'
