Naïve presents the original soundtrack of Coco Chanel & Igor Stravinsky, the eagerly-awaited film by Jan Kounen about the love story between the French fashion designer and the Russian-born composer. The disc includes a complete recording of Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring, performed by the Berlin Philharmonic under Sir Simon Rattle – their only currently available version on CD – as well as the score by leading film composer Gabriel Yared.

Released in many countries during the next few weeks, Coco Chanel & Igor Stravinsky stars Anna Mouglalis and Mads Mikkelsen in the title roles. The first 15 minutes of the film are devoted to one of the most famous and notorious premieres in musical history, the opening performance of Stravinsky's revolutionary work for Diaghilev’s Ballets Russes, The Rite of Spring, in Paris on 29 May, 1913.

Accordingly this CD opens with a full performance of the legendary Stravinsky ballet, the first on CD by the Berlin Philharmonic conducted by Sir Simon Rattle, recorded in Berlin in 2003. The original soundtrack is composed by Gabriel Yared, one of today’s top film composers (The English Patient, The Talented Mr Ripley), and between these come two short piano pieces by Stravinsky also featured in the film.
