The Rake's Progress

Album by Igor Fyodorovitch Stravinsky & Royal Philharmonic Orchestra & Sadler’s Wells Opera Chorus & Judith Raskin & Alexander Young & John Reardon & Regina Sarfaty

The Rake's Progress is an opera by Igor Stravinsky, premiered in 1951. Musically it is rooted in Stravinsky's neoclassical period, characterised by references to 18th-century forms, transparent textures and contrapuntal writing combined with modern harmonic language, and it represents a mid‑century return to earlier models within his output.
