“Perhaps it's simply that pseudo-realism sits uneasily with so stylised a piece. Go back 30 years and you can opt for the classic Glyndebourne/Cox/Hockney staging directly inspired by Hogarth's engravings (ArtHaus). With Bernard Haitink in the pit for such up-and-coming youngsters as Felicity Lott and Samuel Ramey, the artificiality is deliberate and rings true.” Gramophone Magazine, May 2006 | | | Usually despatched in 4 - 5 working days. |

Recorded: Glyndebourne 1999 “Glyndebourne under the regime of director Graham Vick now looks ideal for Tchaikovsky's 'lyric scenes'. The bare wooden floors, open skies and distancing curtains of Richard Hudson's sets… allow us to focus on the intense characterisations. Will there ever be a Tatyana closer to the ideal of Pushkin's impulsive heroine than Elena Prokina? Every movement, every facial gesture speaks of a teenage girl - and later a barely-repressed society lady - with an intense inner life... Martin Thompson's Lensky fills the poet's raptures and despair with luminous candour, and Wojciech Drabowicz captures the torment of Onegin's too-late love for the girl he once rejected... Andrew Davis's buoyant conducting makes sure the uneventful opening scene and the final big duet move along without a hint of torpor or forced rhetoric.” BBC Music Magazine, February 2006 ***** | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |
