Until a few months ago I would have suggested the amazing recording by
the Boston Philharmonic under Benjamin Zander; but then Deryk Barker took
me to task for saying that Stravinsky couldn't conduct his own works, and
suggested I listen to that recording. I bow to the knowledge of Deryk and
would now say that this, to my mind, is probably the finest Rite around.
