STRAVINSKY: RITE OF SPRING; PETRUSHKA (1947) - LONDON SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA, DE BURGOS

Stravinsky: Le Sacre du Printemps / Petrushka

Raphael Frühbeck de Burgos / London Symphony Orchestra

“This is a recording project in which de Burgos was able to bring zinging excitement to works which the orchestra would have known to the point of threadbare routine. The results are a glowing object lesson to his recreative energy.”
– Rob Barnett, Musicweb International
