wow
i can totally see why that caused such a reaction at the time, parts of it sound like an orchestra having a nervous breakdown.
Weird how its impossible to hear it now without imagining corresponding movie scenes, in fact it sounds like a lot of bits have been cribbed over the years by movie composers.

Totally cribbed by John Williams for Star Wars!
The start of part two (about 15 mins in), compared with the Dune Sea from Star Wars. You can blend them seamlessly.

It wasn't so much the music that caused the consternation
It was Najinsky's choreography, which culminated in him, dressed as a Satyr, humping the cast-off dress of a nymph in the grand finale.

Wasn't that Debussy's L'apres-midi d'un faune?
I've seen the Rite of Sproing as ballet so could be wrong
