It was the name of another ballet – Stravinsky’s \u003cem\u003eRite of Spring\u003c\/em\u003e – which was to reveal just how incendiary the new relationship had become within five years in a recording which still hurls itself out of the loudspeakers half a century after it was made. The recording of \u003cem\u003eRite\u003c\/em\u003e was made in a single session on 14th May 1974, in Medinah Temple, Chicago, Decca’s favoured venue at that time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor this all-analogue mastering from the original, edited two-track stereo master, Rainer Maillard at Emil Berliner Studios has chosen to master the LP to play at 45rpm — the original LP was 33⅓ — in order to secure a better high frequency response and recapture the full “fury and clarity” of the original recording.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Glamorous and powerful, this is obviously a version of Stravinsky's great score to be taken very seriously indeed...
