In 2018, the London Philharmonic and its principal conductor Vladimir Jurowski made Stravinsky’s music the year-long theme of their concerts at London’s Southbank Centre. This initial batch of live recordings from those performances, released on the orchestra’s own label, is devoted to the first decade of the composer’s 60-year creative career, with two of his most celebrated works, The Firebird and The Rite of Spring (in an earlier Royal Festival Hall performance, from 2008), as the focal points.
