50 years after Stravinsky’s death, Deutsche Grammophon presents Stravinsky’s “La Sacre du Printemps” in a special live recording from Walt Disney Concert Hall.

Esa-Pekka Salonen is heard in his first recording as principal conductor of the Los Angeles Philharmonic. The 2003 recording is characterised by a special constellation: the outstanding acoustics of Walt Disney Hall made not only Stravinsky’s “Sacre” an extraordinary miracle of sound, but also Mussorgsky’s “Night on the Bald Mountain” and Bartók’s suite “The Miraculous Mandarin”.

The energetic, musically powerful live production is released in a new 24-bit remastering on Pure Audio Blu-ray. The Blu-ray contains a Stereo 2.0, a Surround 5.1 and a Dolby Atmos® mix.

The booklet includes an insightful essay by Alan Rich on the connection between Walt Disney, his classic film Fantasia and the composer Igor Stravinsky. A must-have for every sound lover.
