Œdipus Rex

Submitted by Théâtre des Champs-Elysées (LR-228514). Œdipus Rex Igor Stravinsky Stravinsky in majesty between the classicism of Œdipus Rex and the mythical Rite.

A musician and two distant works of almost 40 years, so to speak two very distinct musical galaxies. The first claims an assumed “classicism” while the second bears the traces of its “homeland” so present during the period of Diaghilev’s Ballets Russes. Exciting demonstration of Stravinsky genius.
