In Reply to: As with most standard repertoire works, TRoS has a lot of great recordings IMHO posted by Chris from Lafayette on August 31, 2016 at 10:10:28:
I have not returned to verify this for a long while, but my sense has been that Stravinsky was often not the best conductor of his own works.
But Markevitch was splendid, particularly on the Rite. And, IMO (not humble) better than Boulez!
