The Rite of Spring provokes a general thrashing and a fight during its first public performance in Paris. Here is the version that pays "homage" to him. Igor Markevitch conducts with a crazy, violent, ultra tense energy, pay attention to your speakers. It's a fascinating sound experience. The craziest version we've ever heard with a magnificent sound recording.

1. The Adoration of the Earth
Young people, standing, circle around an old woman and listen to her with great attention. She knows all the secrets of nature and is initiating the young people into its mysteries. The pulsations of spring are expressed by the young people's tense faces and their gestures. Young women arrive from the river. They dance together in a round dance in which the young men join. While dancing, they struggle to free themselves from the men. A procession moves forward, led by the oldest member of the tribe and a wise and holy priest. A sudden fear grips the young men and women. The priest lies down, arms and legs spread, on the ground and blesses it. Slowly, everyone begins, with rhythmic movements, a dance in praise of the earth.

2. The Sacrifice
The young women dance to a mysterious melody, encircling the immobile form of the one chosen as the victim of the sacrifice in the spring. The earth around her has been cleansed and consecrated. The spirits of the ancestors are invoked and the elders slowly surround the place reserved for the sacred dance of sacrifice. They grab the young woman, who has collapsed in terror, and force her to dance. Drawn mercilessly into a savage dance of death, she finally succumbs.
