Description
The remarkably inventive trio The Bad Plus takes on the explosive Stravinsky masterpiece that set the music world reeling in 1913, rescoring The Rite of Spring for piano, bass and drums. Da Camera pays a final tribute to Claude Debussy in his 150th year with the glorious Rhapsody.
“The Bad Plus are…technically brilliant, beyond versatile…funny, surprising, and pretty hard to pin down.”- The New Yorker
