Where it came from
Igor Stravinsky composed Oedipus Rex between 1926 and 1927, during a period defined by his neoclassical phase. The work was intended as an operatic oratorio, intentionally setting the Latin libretto by Jean Cocteau to emphasize a rigid, ritualistic quality. Stravinsky sought to strip away romantic sentimentality, instead favoring a monumental, statuesque musical language that mirrored the austerity of Sophocles' original tragedy.
The 1971 Supraphon release, catalog number 80 503 PR, captures a definitive performance by the Czech Philharmonic under the baton of Karel Ančerl. Ančerl, renowned for his disciplined precision and mastery of twentieth-century repertoire, brought a distinct gravitas to the recording. This pressing is highly regarded by collectors for its technical clarity and the vocal performances of Ivo Žídek and Věra Soukupová, who successfully navigated Stravinsky's demand for cold, declamatory vocal delivery.
