Oedipus Rex

Album by Igor Fyodorovitch Stravinsky & Peter Pears & Kerstin Meyer & London Philharmonic Orchestra & Sir Georg Solti

Oedipus Rex is an opera-oratorio by Igor Stravinsky, composed in 1927 and first performed that year. Written in a neoclassical idiom with austere orchestration and a declamatory, ritualised vocal style set to a Latin text, it exemplifies Stravinsky's interwar exploration of classical forms and theatrical objectivity.
