Igor Stravinsky - The Rite of Spring (1913)


Killer record. Hear rhythm and sound color like you have never heard it before. The Rite of Spring completely altered my conception of how music could feel and move. It is pure rhythmic tribal savagery and if you haven't heard it you really need to at least check it out. It may be the most important piece of (orchestral) music ever. And the bonus Scraibin tone poem is some old skool psychedelia and is a mind-blowing piece. if you only download one thing from my blog ever make it this one.
