"Oedipus Rex" and "Symphony of Psalms" are the peak of Stravinsky's neo-classical period and his two most important works in latin.This edition is wonderful, the score is big and clearly printed and it's strongly sewed together.I bought it in order to study these two pieces which I love, and I think for this price is a real bargain.It's much more than a study score.It includes prefaces with historical and musical backgrounds for each work.It's a excellent edition of two of the masterpieces of the XX century.A must for any Stravinsky lover.
It's a great score. The only sad part is that there is not translation of the libretto or the psalm texts.
Beautiful work which is out of this world
