The Rite of Spring conducted by Esa-Pekka Salonen?

September 7, 2006 11:43 AM

Does anyone own a recording of the LA Philharmonic performing Stravinksy's 'The Rite of Spring' under Esa-Pekka Salonen?

If you could provide me the exact title of the recording or even the UPC number, so that I might have a better time finding it, it would be a great help.

Every time I go to a new record store I always look for this but have yet to find it. I've searched CD sites to some extent, but classical searches are finnicky in my experience and I've had no luck. My old horn teacher had a copy of it, and I remember part four, Spring Rounds, perhaps my favorite movement, being particularly raucous and drawn-out. Also, I had the fortune to see the work performed by the LA Phil under Salonen ten or so years ago. I have many recordings, but not the one I want. Help!

According to the review in this amazon.com entry and this ebay auction, there's a really good brand-new one, but it won't be released until September 12. Meanwhile, apparently there's one that exists on DG, but can't find anything more. That's the limit of my google-fu. But I begin to believe it's out of print. (It would make sense, if a new one's being released.)
