Stravinsky deliberately used extended ranges and other techniques largely foreign to musicians of the early 20th century in The Rite of Spring to give raw, aggressive, sometimes deliberately ugly timbres for emotional effect; it is common for more recent recordings by orchestras used to hyper-technical modernist compositions to play these parts too smoothly and lose the intended atmosphere (litmus test: if the bassoon solo at the beginning sounds like a normal bassoon, its being played wrong). reissued in 2007 as "Works of Igor Stravinsky" - Works of Igor Stravinsky.
