Stravinsky: Le Sacre du Printemps & Eötvös: Alhambra Concerto

More than a century after the epoch-making scandal of the premiere of Le Sacre du printemps at the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées, this work has long been part of the essence of the modern symphonic repertoire. The earthy forces Stravinsky unleashes have their roots in pagan Russia. Péter Eötvös, on the other hand, drew inspiration for his Third Violin Concerto from the arabesques of the Andalusian palace of the Alhambra, which the dedicatees Isabelle Faust and Pablo Heras-Casado perform here with the Orchestre de Paris in the premiere recording.
