The premier performance of this masterwork is the stuff of legends with disagreements whether it was the music or the choreography that caused the near-riot of the audience. Considered to be one of the most influential works of the 20th century, this work laid the basis for modern jazz, film music and even heavy metal. It's all here: the driving rhythms, the haunting Russian folk melodies, the brilliant scoring, the crunching harmonies and the epic drama! True to the original, this one is a valued and important addition to the wind band repertoire!
