Stravinsky collaborated with the Columbia Symphony Orchestra to record many of his works. These recordings offer valuable insights into his interpretation of his own compositions. They showcase his authoritative understanding of the music and his ability to convey the intended expressive elements.
Stravinsky's recordings of "The Rite of Spring" are considered significant historical documents. They allow listeners to hear the composer's own perspective on one of the most groundbreaking works in classical music.
