Description
Igor Stravinsky: The Rake's Progress by Paul Griffiths is a seminal work that has left an indelible mark on the world of opera. Written in collaboration with Auden and Kallman, this masterpiece is notable for its unique libretto and its exploration of themes that continue to resonate today. Stravinsky's magnum opus is a complex and thought-provoking work that draws inspiration from various periods, including Mozart and da Ponte's operas. At the same time, it remains a quintessential product of the 20th century, grappling with fundamental questions about human free will and the impossibility of return. This book provides a nuanced understanding of The Rake's Progress, shedding light on its style, conventions, and underlying tensions.
