I have always loved La Sacre. Last year I got to hear it twice in concert: once with the Chicago Symphony and once with the Civic Orchestra (the CSO “training” orchestra. Both performances were outstanding.
There are only a few things by Stravinsky that I like much but this is one.

Nijinsky, Stravinsky and Diaghilev romping in a garden? Might have happened.

It was the choreography and the concepts of Nijinsky’s ballets that were shocking, not the music. Sacre du Printemps was a work for hire, commissioned for Nijinsky’s radical ideas on dance by his patron, Diaghilev.
