Best introduction to Stravinsky you can get. This recording is considered by myself and many others the finest recording of The Rite of Spring, which is Stravinsky's most popular work. Disney's Fantasia introduced me to the piece, but Leonard Bernstein took it to another level. Igor Stravinsky said "Wow!" when he heard this recording!

The Rite of Spring ends at about 34:41. The rest of the video is a second, lesser known piece, The Petrouchka.
