Stravinsky: The Rake's Progress

Stravinsky: The Rake's Progress

A flamboyant new production from Robert Lepage, who also directed the internationally renowned Cirque du Soleil in 2005.


Laura Claycomb, Andrew Kennedy, William Shimell, Julianne Young, Dagmar Peckova, Darren Jeffery & Donal J. Byrne

Symphony Orchestra & Chorus of la Monnaie de Munt, Kazushi Ono

Recorded live at Théâtre Royal de la Monnaie, Brussels on 26th & 28th April 2007.

‘Lepage has forged a reputation as one of the most visionary theatre directors of our age… The Rake’s Progress is heading our way, and it promises to be a highlight of the 2007/8 season.’ Sunday Times

“It seems perverse to place it in Las Vegas in the 1950s, as Robert Lepage has done, with stetsons, risqué revue turns and black-and-white TV … Yet when we arrive at the graveyard scene, and then the incredibly moving mad scene in Bedlam, it is all so wonderful that I felt it had been worth persevering. Musically, it is first-rate.” BBC Music Magazine, May 2008 ****

“This is a show to be seen - Covent Garden is staging it in July - and, down to the witty, period and silent menu screens, a model of its kind.” Gramophone Magazine, May 2008

London Sinfonietta Chorus & London Sinfonietta, Riccardo Chailly

"... the London Sinfonietta match him [Chailly] in both precision and panache. The recording gives full and appropriate prominence to the glorious sound of the Sinfonietta's woodwind section, but all departments of the ensemble are admirable...in its balance of brilliance and sensitivity, this is playing of the first class...Samuel Ramey's distinctive, attractive timbre does make an immediate and satisfying impression: he is the wily, oily demon to the life, and in the later acts he effects a transformation from suavity to menace without sacrificing any purely musical qualities en route...Cathryn Pope makes a vividly vulnerable Anne...youthfulness and lyricism are also the hallmarks of Philip Langridge's performance." Gramophone February 1985
