Bartók: Bluebeard's Castle, Sz. 48, Op. 11

(Opera in One Act - Libretto by Béla Balázs) Sung in Hungarian

Gustáv Belácek (bass) & Andrea Meláth (mezzo-soprano)

Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra, Marin Alsop

This recording was made after the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra’s end-of-season concert, described by The Times as “a spectacular finale… A knockout dramatic punch; feverishly beautiful orchestral playing; two characters, the Duke and his new wife Judith, tactile and writhing, deeply felt… Alsop inspired the Bournemouth players to excel”.

“Alsop and the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra prove worthy interpreters of Bartók’s psyco-drama. Alsop bathes the score in an impressionist glow, dark and glistening. She gives her excellent soloists… ample room to define the drama, while tightening the screws where appropriate, making for a suitably chilling climax.” Financial Times
