Here we have Stravinsky conducting his own music, something that is truly special. I happen to prefer these versions of Le Sacre Du Printemps and Petrushka. They are played at a faster tempo, and are more rhythmic and exciting. Stravinsky does not make the music romantic (by any means!) This music was meant to convey power and excitement, and that is what these recordings convey. Concerning Le Sacre, Stravinsky outdoes Karajan, Ozawa, Thomas, Boulez, and that awful "Fantasia" sequence with the dinosaurs from 1940! What is so special about hearing Le Sacre as Stravinksy envisioned it is that he is in charge; he is indicating how he wants it to be played. The Glorification of the Chosen One" is the most exciting moment in the score, and Stravinsky conducts it with fiery passion. The Sacrificial Dance" is also played very well.
