This is a sound and video discography of Igor Stravinsky's ballet The Rite of Spring. The work was premiered in Paris on May 29, 1913 at the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées. It was presented by Sergei Diaghilev's Ballets Russes with choreography by Vaslav Nijinsky and was conducted by Pierre Monteux. The list includes many of the most noted recordings of the work but is by no means exhaustive. The avant-garde character of the music, combined with Nijinsky's innovative choreography, caused a near riot at the first performance. It has since gained wide acceptance both as a ballet and as a concert piece.
The discography is not exhaustive; new recordings frequently appear, as do reissues of older recordings. In the tables, the year given is not necessarily an accurate guide to the time of the actual performance, since sometimes recordings are held for many years before release.
On the 22 March 2008 broadcast of BBC 3'S CD Review - Building a Library, music critic Rob Cowan surveyed recordings of The Rite of Spring and recommended the 2004 recording by the Junge Deutsche Philharmonie, Peter Eotvos (conductor), as the best available choice.
In 2014 the avant garde jazz trio The Bad Plus recorded The Rite of Spring on the Sony Masterwork label.
