Being a complete fan of all Peter I. Tchaikovsky works I will get this DVD. I have recently purchased "The Tchaikovsky Handbook, A Guide to the Man and His Music, Volume 1 by Alexander Poznansky. In this book it says that Tchaikovsky wrote 11 operas and that there ...             Sergei Prokofiev: War And Peace Sergey Prokofiev, Sergey Aleksashkin, ... Philips, 1993 Remarkable performance, and Complete too Although the recording level is too low as established by others reviewing this work/recordings, I have to point out that the dramatic quality is stronger than others. I have the Hickox and like it a little less than this. The Rostropovich is very fine, BUT the ...             Prokofiev - War and Peace / Gergiev, Othotnikov, Kirov Opera Sergei Alexashkin, Gennady Bezzubenkov Kultur Video, 2003 Thanks , Kultur Many thanks to Kultur for finally making this magnificent opera available years after the VHS release was cut from the Philips Classics catalog. The Kirov production is fine ensemble work and is performed with sprit and conviction. DVD sound and picture quality are ...             Boris Godounov (1869 & 1872 Versions) Modest Mussorgsky, Valery Gergiev, ... Philips, 1999 Three cheers for the original, harsher 1869 version Since it appeared in 1998, this two-for-one Boris Godunov has been widely acclaimed. I'd just like to praise the original 1869 version, which is harsher, more compact, and more visceral than all its successors. Here is the Gramophone's brief account of the opera's ...             Alexander Borodin: Prince Igor Alexander Borodin, Valery Gergiev, ... Philips, 1995 A Great Performance of a Powerful Work Russian opera has many grand epic historical works in the repertoire, and after BORIS GODOUNOV, PRINCE IGOR may be the best known. As a matter of fact, if BORIS was not performed so regularly on operatic stages, chances are PRINCE IGOR would be staged more often. Some ...             Requiem Ildebrando D'Arcangelo, Giuseppe Verdi, ... Philips, 2004 Excellent! I know, you shouldn't comment on other reviews, but this first review is just wrong. You can't buy a DVD-Audio and expect it to play on a CD player! The DVD plays on my DVD player and on my DVD-Audio player without problems.

Decca, 2007 Wonderful Value, Great Performances This set combines Zoltan Kocsis' fine set of the piano concertos with his stunning solo recital album (containing one of the best interpretations of the 2nd piano sonata anywhere) along with a fine version of the 2nd Symphony and the Rock. The sent concludes with the ...             Essential Verdi - 40 of His Greatest Masterpieces (2 CD Set) Giuseppe Verdi, Alberto Erede, ... Decca, 2001 Incredible I don't say incredible about too many things, but Verdi was the zenith of Italian Opera and Solti and the Chicago Symphony and the Vienna Philharmonic are the quintessential ensembles for modern classical performance. Not to mention that most of the voices showcased ...             Mussorgsky - Boris Godunov Robert Lloyd, Olga Borodina Philips, 2002 Boris Godunov I think that this DVD is the greatest opera DVD in my collection. The production itself is beautiful. All of the singers are fabulous. Rarely (particularly in a live production)are all of the singers first rate. The tessitura for Dimitri is a killer. The tenor ...             Pytor Il'ich Tchaikovsky: Pique Dame Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky, Valery Gergiev, ... Philips, 1993 An Excellent Queen of Spades It is interesting that Pique Dame was first offered to Tchaikovsky's pupil Nikolay Klenovsky by Ivan Vsevolozhsky (who was a force in the composition of The Sleeping Beauty). Had it not been for the pupil's vacillation, Pushkin's story may never have been taken up by ...             Olga Borodina: Portrait Camille Saint-Saens, Gioachino Rossini, ... Decca, 2006 A rich collection of gorgeous singing Olga Borodina's 2 CD collection "Portraits" presents a rich selection of opera arias and art songs. The first disc features better known selections in Italian and French, with mostly Russian songs on the second CD. Ms. Borodina's voice is very beautiful from the top ...             Borodin - Prince Igor Nikolai Putilin, Galina Gorchakova Philips, 2003 Marvelous - Despite Some Flaws There is much to agree with in all three previous reviewers' assessments, despite their divergent evaluations. Borodin's Prince Igor and this production have their flaws. The libretto is banal; this is no Boris Godunov! Kirov's scenery, though well painted, is for ...             Simply the Best Classical Passion Dieter Klöcker, Erik Satie, ...

Philips, 1999 The best starter for Russian opera I think back to the day I first listened to this recording with nostalgia. This is the first Russian opera that I have listened to and I consider myself extremely lucky to have chosen this one. The music is simply gorgeous and there are some stunning vocal talents on ...             Verdi - Requiem / Fleming · Borodina · Bocelli · D'Arcangelo · Gerviev Giuseppe Verdi, Valery Gergiev, ... Philips, 2001 It Could Have Been Sublime What, one must ask ones self, is Andrea Bocelli doing in this ensemble? What could have been the definative recording is flawed.
