Almost a hundred years ago, Igor Stravinsky shocked the Western world with his ballet score, The Rite of Spring, a highly charged and confrontational piece. Michael Tilson Thomas goes behind the scenes in St. Petersburg and Paris to discover the spirit in which it was written and the drama of the opening night that shook the music world to its foundations.
Bonus Features:
Full-length concert performance of Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring and music from The Firebird by the San Francisco Symphony originally filmed in high-definition 16:9 widescreen and 5.1 surround sound.
