Twenty years ago, on 30 August 2000, Michael Tilson Thomas conducted Stravinsky's "The Rite of Spring" in London's Royal Albert Hall, so this video counts as a 20th Anniversary tribute! ... This same performance was previously uploaded here in its two separate parts but the 20th Anniversary provides an ideal opportunity to hear the work uninterrupted. The San Francisco Symphony, of which MTT had become Music Director five years earlier, was making its Proms debut. It was attended by a 5,000-strong highly enthusiastic audience and their rousing reception prompted two encores, by Prokofiev and Stravinsky. both introduced by MTT himself. A memorable occasion indeed!
