More than a century after the historic scandal of its premiere at the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées, The Rite of Spring has established itself as one of the 'musts' of the modern orchestral repertory. And if the source of the telluric forces generated by Stravinsky lay in pagan Russia, it is beneath the arabesques of the palaces of Andalusia that Péter Eötvös found the inspiration for his third violin concerto. The work's dedicatees, Isabelle Faust and Pablo Heras-Casado, here present its very first recording.
"Heras-Casado's interpretation of The Rite is more sensual and clearly-etched than shatteringly powerful, despite the force of the bass in a recording which judiciously spotlights woodwind, coming through even the thicker ensembles." BBC Music
"The still-centred moments of this performance [of The Rite] are the moments in which you stop and take note...the Eötvös is well worth basking in." Gramophone
