If Ivan the Terrible could hear this he'd get married again just to hear the music! Way to go Rimsky (Or is it Nicholai - or Korsakov?) Whatever. Great performance of a stirring and exciting piece of classic Russian art.
@Tannenberg71410 His name is Николай Андреевич Римский-Корсаков. Nikolai Andreyevich Rimsky-Korsakov. Nikolai - 1st name, Rimsky-Korsakov - 2nd name ("familiya"), Andreyevich - "otchestvo", the name of his father. From Russia with love.
Pletnev gives a neatly "classical" performance, very attractive, with a Mendelssohnian légéreté lightening the Russian darkness. A gorgeous piece to begin a fine opera!
Rarely staged outside of Russia, don’t miss the Royal Opera House’s first production of Rimsky-Koraskov’s tragic tale of Ivan the Terrible’s dark quest for a wife in The Tsar’s Bride. A highlight of the Season, it is a rare opportunity to see an operatic gem.
Mighty and uplifting Music.Thanks a lot for sharing so wondrous Oberture .Alvarson
