"The most discordant composition ever written. Never has the cult of the wrong note been applied with such industry, zeal, and ferocity"
First of a 3-part series based on the book "Rites of Spring: The Great War and the Birth of the Modern Age" by Modris Ekstiens, about the evolution of the modernist spirit in Western Europe. In this episode I discuss the tumultuous 1913 premiere of the ballet "The Rite of Spring", plus the growth of modernistic Germany prior to WW1.
