Le sacre du printemps, the Rite of Spring (Holy Spring in the original Russian)
The Russian composer Igor Stravinsky (1882-1971) wrote 'Rite of Spring' in 1913.
That was 1913.
You are probably thinking of Igor Stravinsky. The 1913 Paris premiere of his "Rite of Spring" literally caused rioting in the audience. Ravel was in the audience (or was it Debussy?) and the future conductor of the Boston Symphony, Pierre Monteaux.
In the 34 to 35 minute range - depending upon the "reading." Usually broken into two sets, one of ~16 minutes the other ~19 minutes.
