Digital restoration of Russian vinyl. The Russian record company issued a CD of Stravinsky's Moscow concerts, but for unknown reasons, they didn't include the Rite. Perhaps it was because it was conducted by his longtime colleague Robert Craft, as at this point in his life, the Maestro no longer felt physically up to the demands of conducting it. He was in attendance at this concert, however, and Craft had at this point studied under Stravinsky for years, and rises to the task admirably.
