A fairytale opera.......2002-01-17

At last there is a chance to hear the magical opera, Cherevichki, in a modern recording. And an excellent one. I warmly recommend every operafan and operadirector! to get acquainted with this seldomly performed but most theatrical and surprisingly beautiful opera.
The lyrical Eugen Onegin and the dramatic Pique Dame are well-known to most people, and many also appreciates the elegical, almost flegmatic Yolanta and the more robust but still beautiful Mazeppa. But Cherevichki, which is musically related to the fresh and spirited Nutcracker though more grotesque than the ballet, is still comparetively unknown in the west. It is, however, probably only a matter of a short time before it will be played in any adventurious operahouse anywhere in the world.
The opera consists of many individual scenes with lots of appeal. After the brillant ouverture there is a wonderful parlando-scene between an imp and Vakula, the smith's mother, apperently a witch. Tchaikovsky at his most humourous! Consequently there are beautiful arias for the obligatory tenor and soprano, splendid chorus-scenes and marvellous stagemusic describing a fairytale landscape full of snow and undines.
This live-recording is ravishingly conducted by Rozhdestvensky and all the roles are splendidly sung and performed by the russian cast, though I find the first scene more charmingly grotesque on the older recording conducted by A. Melik-Pashayev.
This opera adds another, lively!, facet to Tchaikovsky's works, while we are waiting for a new recording of his more problematic, The maid of Orleans.
