Oedipus Rex

Album by Igor Fyodorovitch Stravinsky & Chœur de Chambre Romand & Chœur Pro Arte de Lausanne & Chorale du Brassus & Orchestre de la Suisse Romande & Neeme Järvi

Oedipus Rex is an opera-oratorio by Igor Stravinsky that premiered in 1927. Musically it employs a neoclassical vocabulary with lean orchestration, rhythmic propulsion and declamatory vocal writing set to a Latin libretto with spoken narration, and it marks a turn in Stravinsky's exploration of theatrical and ritual forms within his neoclassical period.
