The Rite of Spring / Nielsen Symphony No. 5 / Audio CD

UPC: 089408061561

Overview

This deluxe hybrid Super Audio CD pairs two monumental works of early 20th‑century orchestral repertoire: Igor Stravinsky’s groundbreaking ballet The Rite of Spring (Le Sacre du Printemps) and Carl Nielsen’s expansive Symphony No. 5, Op. 50. Conducted by Paavo Järvi with the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra and recorded in immersive DSD discrete surround sound, this 2004 Telarc release captures every nuance—from the primal rhythms of Stravinsky’s pagan rituals to the existential drama of Nielsen’s final symphony.
