Robert Craft first met Stravinsky on the same day that Auden delivered the completed libretto to the composer, and was directly involved in what he describes as "the first step" in the composition of The Rake's Progress. This was principally with regard to helping Stravinsky master the pronunciation, vocabulary and rhythms of the English text, and sharing the composer's excitement as the brilliantly conceived score took shape. This 1993 recording, conducted by Craft, is no less significant than Stravinsky's 1953 Metropolitan Opera recording, available on Naxos Historical 8.111266-67."

Rezensionen

E. Pluta in FonoForum 2/95: "Daß sich Crafts Konzeption schlüssig mitteilt, liegt natürlich auch an einem handverlesenen Sängerensemble, das stimmliche Power mit genauer Charakteri- sierung verbindet. Da auch die Sänger der Nebenrollen sowie der Chor dieses hohe Niveau halten, kommt man nicht umhin, von einer Referenz-Aufnahme zu sprechen."
