The Rake's Progress

Album by Igor Fyodorovitch Stravinsky & Kent Nagano & Orchestre de l’Opéra de Lyon

The Rake's Progress is an opera by Igor Stravinsky, first performed in 1951. Musically, it exemplifies Stravinsky's neoclassical phase through clear tonal centres, transparent orchestration and frequent reference to eighteenth-century forms, and it represents a key stage work in his mid-twentieth-century output that synthesises his rhythmic precision with historical models.
