Summary:
James Levine leads a great cast in Stravinsky's powerful tale of a young man's fall. Paul Groves is Tom Rakewell, who leaves a life in the country and the faithful Anne Trulove (Dawn Upshaw) for the temptations of London--seduced by the sinister Nick Shadow (Samuel Ramey), better known as the devil. Stephanie Blythe stars as Baba the Turk.
Contents:
Prelude
The woods are green
Anne, my dear
Yes, Father
Here I stand
Since it is not by merit
Tom Rakewell?
Fair lady
I wished but once
I'll call the coachman, sir
Farewell, farewell, farewell for now
Dear Father Trulove
With air commanding
Come, Tom
Soon dawn will glitter
Brothers of Mars
Love, too frequently betrayed
How sad a song
The sun is bright
No word from Tom
Quietly, night
My Father!
I go, I go to him
Vary the song
I wish I were happy
Come, master
In youth the panting slave pursues The fair evasive dame
My tale shall be told
How strange!
Anne! here!
My love, am I to remain in here forever?
Could it then, could it then have been known
I have not run away, dear heart
As I was saying both brothers wore moustaches
Come, sweet
Wretched me!
My heart is cold
Fa la la (Pantomime)
O I wish it were true
Thanks to this excellent device
Forgive me, master
Ruin, Disaster, Shame
Ladies both fair and gracious
Who hears me, knows me
Sold! Annoyed!
You love him
If boys had wings and girls had stings
Prelude
How dark and dreadful is this place
Very well then, my dear and good Tom
My heart is wild with fear
Now in his words
Love, first and last
I burn! I freeze!
Prepare yourselves, heroic shades
Leave all love and hope behind!
There he is
I have waited
In a foolish dream
Gently, little boat
Every wearied body must
Where art thou, Venus?
Good people, just a moment (Epilogue).
