Free Music Review: The Enduring Yet Too Infrequently Performed RAKE'S PROGRESS
Hit: 5 Stars

Even for the most devoted Stravinsky fans his chief opera THE RAKE'S PROGRESS is too infrequently performed to satisfy the need for familiarity. Happily there are now recorded performances, both on CD and DVD, that assure that this glimmering little masterpiece will remain a staple of the opera repertoire. Having just absorbed a thoroughly engaging (if visually bizarre) production with the San Francisco Opera under the gifted baton of Donald Runnicles, the appetite is whetted enough to listen to the magic at home. And this recording is a strong one as conducted by John Eliot Gardner with the London Symphony Orchestra.

One of the reasons this recording maintains its high standing among aficionados is the diction by the entire cast: WH Auden's libretto is clearly one of the true treasures in the operatic literature and the singers here allow us to understand even those passages where lines overlap. Ian Bostridge carries his sensitively nuanced approach to lieder to the role of Tom Rakewell and his tone is rich and full and his approach makes a credible Rakewell. Bryn Terfel is probably the finest Nick Shadow on the stage today, delivering his wily role with superb singing and flawless diction. Deborah York's very clean and crisp vocal technique is well suited to the constancy of Anne Truelove. The rest of the cast is equally well equipped for their strange roles, but in the end the kudos go to Gardiner and his fine crafting of the both the orchestra and chorus, coaxing an ebullient neoclassical sound from the colorful Stravinsky score. It is a pleasure from beginning to end. Grady Harp, December 07

Stravinsky - The Rake's Progress / Bostridge ? York ? Terfel ? von Otter ? Howells ? LSO ? Gardiner Poster

This release makes one wonder if there is any music John Eliot Gardiner can't conduct well. Here, for what is probably the first time on CD, Gardiner goes for Stravinsky, and while a nitpicker might point out that Rake is Stravinsky's "Mozartean" opera, let's face it--it's real Stravinsky. Gardiner manages the composer's angles and strange rhythms superbly, and he concentrates on the lower instruments as well (the engineers assist nicely throughout), leading a fleet, ironic performance of this tough work while underlining the score's sweetnesses as well. It doesn't hurt that he has the finest cast available: Bryn Terfel's Nick Shadow is amazingly nuanced, and only once or twice does the great bass-baritone do his infamous "whispering act." He's positively chilling in the graveyard scene. And what can one say about Ian Bostridge as the titular rake? When he says, "I wish I had money!" in Act?I, he's Everyman; he wins us over and we feel for him no matter how stupid he is. He's a bit stressed at the very top of his range in the one or two forte passages, but considering how clever this artist is, it wouldn't be a surprise if he's doing it on purpose. Deborah York is such a fine Anne--singing with clean, white, innocent tone--that she even outdoes Dawn Upshaw's splendid portrayal. Anne Sofie von Otter sings Baba's music impeccably (and in unaccented English), but, as usual, she seems more distinguished and artistic than moving. This set is now at the top of the pack; if you've been wondering about this opera and were wondering when and where to get your feet wet, go no further. --Robert Levine
