Negative Positive
Title: Powerful stuff.
Review: Other conductors I've heard capture Stravinsky's dense, contemplative side better, and you can't beat that organic, authentic vibe from Stravinsky's recordings conducting himself, but for conveying the raw power and rhythmic intensity in this piece, you can do no better than Ozawa's rendition. The recording is clear and dynamic. I own several recordings of the Rite of Spring, and like them for different reasons, but if I were asked to reccomend only one, to someone who hadn't heard the piece before, I'd very likely reccomend Ozawa's.
