Product Description:
Stravinsky's inspired three-act opera recorded live at the Salzburg Festival. Poor Tom Rakewell rises and rises, only to meet with tragedy following his unexpected inheritance. Based on William Hogarth's comic strip-like series of drawings and with a libretto co-written by W. H. Auden.
Description by Image Entertainment:
Igor Stravinsky was inspired by William Hogarth's sequence of anecdotal pictures, "The Rake's Progress," to compose this three-act opera which charts the rise and fall of Tom Rakewell after inheriting an unexpected legacy. The libretto by W. H. Auden and Chester Kallmann follows an eighteenth-century operatic structure, with separate arias, ensembles and choruses linked by recitative. Recorded live from the Salzburg Festival, this striking production is a collaboration between stage director Peter Mussbach and leading German artist Jorg Immendorff, whose spectacular, self-referential and humorous designs were hailed as a triumph. At the core is Jerry Hadley, who charts Tom Rakewell's swift disillusion with extreme skill. Soprano Dawn Upshaw is superb as Anne, Tom's faithful model, and Monte Pederson makes a devilish Nick Shadow, an underworld heavy in a pinstripe suit. Sylvain Cambreling conducts the Camerata Academica.
