Le Sacre du Printemps (Le Sacrifice)

Dr. Phibes and The Ten Plagues of Egypt are back, this time with an interpretation of Igor Stravinsky's "The Rite of Spring" (Весна священная, Vesna svyashchennaya, Le Sacre du Printemps), the controversial and legendary ballet score that drove concertgoers to a frenzied riot at it's premiere in 1913. The innovative complex rhythmic structures, timbres, and use of dissonance have made the composition a seminal 20th century work.
