Stravinsky- Persephone

[Guest]

A release of a 1960 performance of Stravinsky's rare oratorio Persephone. This should be a very nice addition to the library!

Unusually sung in German too.

I heard the CBSO perform this two years ago and a lovely work it is too. Lasting 50 minutes it is Stravinsky's longest work omitting The Rake's Progress (or a slow Oedipus )

Thanks for this Threni. I agree it's a lovely work: have an old Proms recording with Andrew Davis. It should be in French though?

It should be in French though?

Indeed be interesting to see how different it sounds!
