Since 2011, Françoix-Xavier Roth and Les Siècles have been researching on The Rite of Spring.

They relied on musicological work and focused on the comparison of three scores: a copy of the autograph manuscript of the work of Igor Stravinsky, whose original is kept at Paul Sacher Foundation in Basel, a copy of the first edition (Russian Edition of Music, 1922), through a copy of the partition used and annotated by Pierre Monteux from 1920s and the partition of the final version published by Boosey & Hawkes. The result of these researches are now available on CD, coupled with a no less most exciting recording of Petrouchka!
