"Am Pult des Symphonieorchesters des Bayerischen Rundfunks: der herausragende englische Dirigent Daniel Harding. Er präsentiert mit den "Faust-Szenen"ein groß angelegtes Meisterstück, das die komplexe und hochphilosophische literarische Vorlage von Goethe in einer losen Szenenfolge musikalisch nachzeichnet. Immer wieder beschäftigte sich Schumann gerade in seinem letzten Lebensjahrzehnt mit den Möglichkeiten, die im vokal-symphonischen und musikdramatischen Komponieren liegen. Die Partie des Faust gestaltet der außergewöhnliche Bariton Christian Gerhaher, ihm zur Seite stehen Christiane Karg als Gretchen sowie weitere international hoch angesehene Solisten, der Kammerchor der Augsburger Domsingknaben und der Chor des Bayerischen Rundfunks" (br.de)

Stravinsky's Œdipus rex : Julie Taymor (stage director), Seiji Ozawa (conductor) - With Jessye Norman (Yocasta), Bryn Terfel (Creon), Philip Langridge (Oedipus) Harry Peeters (Tiresias) ...( Visual )

1 edition published in 1992 in English and held by 65 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

A masterful Japanese production featuring Julie Taymor's costumes and image-rich sets (worthy of Chéreau or Wieland Wagner!), Seiji Ozawa's direction, and an impressive vocal cast (a stunning Jessye Norman as Jocasta, the tenor Philip Langridge as Oedipus, Bryn Terfel as Creon). "We singers have a different level of responsibility from other musicians. We have words that we must convey; we have meanings that we must convey through these lyrics" affirms the soprano - a particularly big responsibility for this adaptation of the Greek tragedy in which the value of words did not escape the Russian composer. Impressed by Jean Cocteau's rewrite of Antigone, Stravinsky asked the poet for an adaptation of Oedipus Rex. The resulting libretto brings together the key scenes of Sophocles's tragedy translated by the Abbé Jean Daniélou into Latin--a language that, according the composer, "is not dead but engraved in stone, and so imposing that it is immune to any popularization". A narrator outlines the plot for us: when Oedipus, King of Thebes and unlucky descendant of Laïos, discovers his double crime of patricide and incest, he gouges out his eyes, and Jocasta, widow and accomplice in the crime of incest with her son, hangs herself ... The opera-oratorio is written for voice, narrator, soloist, and men's choir, and received its 1927 premiere in Paris under the baton of the composer himself!
