One Rite to rule them all. [View all]

I've always been obsessed with Stravinsky's Rite of Spring, devouring every performance of it I can find.

I have my faves - I enjoy what Barenboim did with CSO, Gergiev's and Solti's. But so far, the one that grips me the most is Tilson Thomas' interpretation.
