Stravinsky: The Rake's Progress
Kent NaganoCD1
- Prelude (1. Akt)
- The woods are green, and bird and beast at play
- Anne, my dear - Yes, Father?
- Here I stand, my constitution sound, my frame not ill-favoured
- Since it is not by merit we rise or we fall
- Tom Rakewell?
- Fair lady, gracious gentlemen, a servant begs your pardon
- I wished but once
- I'll call the coachman, Sir
- Farewell for now, my heart is with you when you go
- All is ready, sir
- Dear father Trulove, the very moment my affairs are settled
- Laughter and light, and all charms that endear
- With air commanding and weapon handy we rove in a band through the streets at night
- Come, Tom I would fain have our hostess, good Mother Goose
- Soon dawn will glitter outside the shutter
- Sisters of Venus, brothers of Mars
- Love, too frequently betrayed for some plausible desire
- How sad a song
- The sun is bright, the grass is green, lanterloo
- Has love no voice?
- Quietly, night, o find him and caress
- My father! Can I desert him
- I go, I go to him
- Vary the song, O London, change! (2. Akt)
- O Nature, green unnatural mother, how I have followed where you led
- Always the quarry that I stalk fades or evades me
- Master, are you alone? - And sick at heart
- Come, master, observe the host of mankind
- In youth the panting slave pursues the fair evasive dame
- My tale shall be told both by young and by old
- Prelude
- How strange! Although the heart for love dare everything, the hand draws back
- What can this mean? A ball? A journey? A dream?
- Anne! here! - And Tom, such splendour
- My love, am I to remain in here for ever?
- Could it then have been known... - It is done
- I have not run away, dear heart
CD2
- As I was saying, both brothers wore moustaches
- Baba's song: Come, sweet, come, why so glum?
- Scorned! Abused! Neglected! Baited! Wretched me!
- My heart is cold, I cannot weep; one remedy is left me: sleep
- Fa la la...
- O, I wish it were true
- Awake? - Who's there?
- Forgive me, master, for intruding upon your transports, but your dream is still a long way from fulfilment
- What curious phenomena are up today for sale... Blasted! Blasted! so many hopes of gain (3. Akt)
- Do you know where Tom Rakewell is?
- Ladies, both fair and gracious, gentlemen
- Who hears me, knows me ... Seven ... eleven ... fourteen ... Behold it, Roman ...
- Sold! Annoyed! I've caught you thieving!
- Now, what was that! - The pigs of plunder!
- You love him, seek to set him right
- I shall go back and grace the stage
- If boys had wings and girls had stings
- I go to him
- Who cares a fig for Tory or Whig? Not I
- Prelude
- How dark and dreadful is this place
- Very well, then, my dear and good Tom
- Well then - My heart is wild with fear
- I burn! I freeze! In shame I hear my famished legions roar
- With roses crowned, I sit on ground; Adonis is my name
- Prepare yourselves, heroic shades
- Madmen's words are all untrue; she will never come to you
- Leave all love and hope behind
- There he is. Have no fear. He is not dangerous
- I have waited for thee so long
- In a foolish dream, in a gloomy labyrinth I hunted shadows
- I am exceeding waery
- Gently, little boat, across the ocean float
- Anne, my dear, the tale is ended now
- Every wearied body must late or soon return to dust
- Where art thou, Venus?
- Mourn for Adonis!
- Good people, just a moment
