Simon Rattle conducts the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra in Stravinsky's ground-breaking masterpiece The Rite of Spring, a ballet score which caused a riot at its first performance in Paris in 1913. Rattle describes this performance, specially recorded for television with different effects for each of the dances, as "a wonderfully loopy experiment". He introduces the piece with a look at some of the work done by the CBSO in which local schoolchildren are encouraged to write their own "Rites of Spring". Director Barrie Gavin • STEREO
