Esa-Pekka Salonen marks the centenary of one of the most famous premières in musical history - Stravinsky's primitivist ballet Rite of Spring. Showered throughout by a torrential hail of noises from the gallery, the whole thing ended in uproar with the young conductor, Pierre Monteux, and his musicians fleeing for their lives. Before that, Beethoven's gigantic Symphony No. 7, portrays the tumultuous times of the symphony's composition during the Napoleonic wars.
